I am quite fussy when it comes to destinations, I normally go for week long city holidays but am also now wanting some time on beaches where possible.
But where would be a nice town/city (historical/ancient) but also has nice beaches, around 3 hours max from a London airport and where you can get to the beaches easily from town based accommodation. We always rent self catering/airbnb so I dont want hotels or a 'resort' as such.
The other thing Im struggling with is easily knowing what airports go to what destinations, so as an example I just wondered about San Sebastian as I like Northern Spain, the fly scanner thing that Im searching (just google really) comes up with flights that are 2 connections! And nearly a grand per flight? Am I doing something wrong?
I also looked at Bari as an example, but the reviews of the beach there seem to highlight its full of dog ends and rubbish.
