How much money should i take on holiday?

Take £500, and spend it wisely. Then you should have some left when you return home, without having to worry about regretting not taking enough. Can't you access your account from abroad anyway?

Take £500.

Lol, ok then MR :redface:

Err i don't wanna touch my bank account abroad, like i said, i don't wanna draw out unnecessary money, which includes being out one night wanting to drink more and being able to go to a cash point. No.

Well you're going to have to work out a suitable compromise yourself. You're either going to have to spend less on holiday, and have more when you get back, or blow the lot having a good time there.

Why don't you want to touch your bank account abroad? Do you really have that little self-control? If you do, there's not much anyone's going to be able to do to help you. That's the only way I can see of ensuring you don't miss out on holiday, and when you get back home.

Its not about self control! Its about not wanting to spend more money than i need to!

malia is ok. I went there in 2003. Good if you just want to get trashed but its not really the real side of crete.

Drinks and stuff there aren't too cheap, about €3-5 a beer. If I remember correctly it was €5 for a JD and coke which was more JD than coke and pretty damn lethal.

I'd take £500, activities in the day/presents for people/food/drink all adds up to a fairly large amount. Sure you might not spend it but its probably better to ensure that the money is there if you need to spend it than not having enough.

It's not especially cheap in malia, and everything we did was centered around drinking, apart from the odd day trip to the water sports park/scuba diving/parasailing. Why are you going on that sort of holiday if you don't drink?
