17

Answer 5

Hey I went to Kavos when I was 16, and I needed my parents permission.  I think its 16 with parents written consent, ask your travel operator - they will know for sure.

Answer 6

The requirement for under 16 years olds is, an adult would have to accompany you on holiday, especially if your holiday is abroad. If the adult is not your parent or legal guardian and you are under 16, passport control will not let you through, unless you have permission from said parent or legal guardian to be with that adult. You are 16, so classed as an adult, in law. So you can go on holiday without permission.
