Answer 4

How about a nice camping holiday in the UK. Say, Devon, Cornwall, the Lake District or Scotland. You don't have to fly there, the weather's going to be GREAT. And it wont cost you a bomb. That's what I'm going to do, I'm going tomorrow, I'm driving there, I'm going to eat BRITISH food (not some foreign MUCK), I'm going when I like, where I like, dressed in what I like and will come home when I like when I've had enough! No airport / ferry on strike, no one burning sheep, and no garlic breathing anti British nutter that wants to blow me up.

TEN to Fifteen quid a night for the entire family, cheap at half the price.     :D

Answer 5

Santa Ponsa, Majorca is good for families.Not far from the marine and waterpark and plenty of things to do for both adults and children.

Answer 6

Protaras, Cyprus!

Everything you need in one area! Hotels are mainly situated along the shoreline of Fig Tree Bay and Flamingo Bay, and are all within easy walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Crystal clear sea, great for swimming and snorkelling, and , just a short walk up to the main road you will find the moni golf etc,  entertainment for the kids....there is a small waterpark, again, just a short drive, or about 30 mins walk away, and there is a bowling alley in the main tourist part of Protaras. Some great restaurants; The Olympus, Cafe Parko, Il Basilico, Island Affair, and try Rockafellas for a good selection of nightime entertainment.

Then just a short drive/ taxi / bus ride away is Agia Napa, and, no, its not all booze cruises and lager louts!! You can take a day long boat trip along the coast to the ghost town of Famagusta, stopping a couple of times to swim from the boat if you fancy it, just for a few Euros each, and in Agia Napa itself, there is some great beaches; Liminaki, Nisi, Adams, and Makronissoss are all good sandy beaches, a good selection of restaurants; Tonys Taverna, The Avenue Restaurant, Vassoss Fish restaurant, and The Limelight,  just to name a few, there is a good sized fun-fair, and, Agia Napa also boasts the largest waterpark in Europe! If you pick up The Cyprus Mail ( available in  ost of the supermarkets) you will often find money-off vouchers for the waterpark.

If you can hire a car, then explore a little futher, and take in Larnaca, Lemesos, Lefkosia ( Nicosia), and take a trip up the Troodos Mountains too.

Both Protaras and Agia Napa are safe and friendly, The Cypriots just love kids, and families are made welcome everywhere.

Its around 33-35C here at the moment, and getting warmer every day!! Be well prepared if you are coming in the main summer months, as it does get very hot ( peaked at 45C here last July!!) and very busy in August! Bring some sun cream out with you, but you can get it here fairly cheaply in most supermarkets.  

I'm sure you would have a great time here, check out;
