Plan my holiday!

[StayGoldPonyBoy]

I'm going round in circles!

We are planning to go away for 2 weeks in July with DD who will be almost 3 so don't want a really long flight or somewhere ridiculously hot as even I struggle with the likes of Cyprus in peak season. It's our first time taking her abroad and I'm struggling with the most child friendly resorts etc.

Essential information- we are flying from Leeds Bradford, can spend about 2k on the whole holiday and want somewhere fairly lively.

We've done Majorca, Crete, the Algarve, Costa Del Sol etc and I would go back, but DH wants to try somewhere new. Any ideas?

French Atlantic Coast? Kinderhotels in Austria?

Menorca is nice and child friendly
Turkey is grab but hot
Greece also fab but hot

Thanks, Menorca is on the list, as is Faliraki in Greece. I can do 'hot' but I can't do sweat dripping down your legs stood waiting for the bus hot like it was in Cyprus when we went. I kept thinking I'd come on my period unexpectedly

Croatia, Italian lakes, Malta, ibiza.

Costa Brava ? Me and DH were in Sitges last September - easy to get to - loads of families there- mainly Spanish families. Some great beaches.

France ? Fly/drive to the Atlantic coast. La Rochelle or further south.

The west coast of Spain - San Sebastien etc. I haven't been but it's on my list. I bet it isn't too hot in summer there- probably just right.

I would suggest Brittany. Lovely weather, not too hot. We did a static caravan holiday on a camping site and the children loved it. I know it is not so convenient from Yorkshire though. If you take the ferry, you have your own car which is great. I no longer want very hot summer holidays. You could look at September or October and then I would look at the south of France for something different.

Faliraki? The kiddy-drunk place? Are you sure?

July in Greece will be hot, in the 30s.
