I'd like to spend a few days (5-8, not more) during the timeframe mentioned above, somewhere in southern Europe on the beach, preferably in Capitalist Europe - Italy, Greece, Spain, France etc...
I want a room (however small) just for myself plus access to refrigerator. I can be part of some larger group of tourists but I want my privacy when sleeping.
I don't give rat's ass about local architecture / famous poets / local culture (as long as they don't rape men of my age very often).
I don't want any special "organized activities", I just want to stroll around the beach, take a swim, take some photos, rent a bike, just relax.
I don't want any "pre-paid" food. I'd accept breakfast but I'd be happiest if I just had an access to refrigerator and bought food in restaurants / markets. That means I'd prefer some sort of area with restaurants / markets, not some isolated fishing village.
I can get there by plane or bus, it doesn't matter. Actually, I'd prefer spending 12 hours on bus and saving some money. At least I'd have time to finish that Nintendo DS games...
Do you know about something specific that meets my needs and doesn't cost over approx. $300 including lodging and travel? Advices in the vein of "Just look at Last Minute offers at xyz.cz" don't help me very much, as I am already doing that.
Myslím, že tohle by mohla splňovat Malta, Sardinie nebo Korsika. Ani to není vyloženě turisticky přervané a přitom zajímavé. Milosh
ReplyDeleteNo a ten hotylek s jednomistnymi pokoji s lednickou je tam kde?
ReplyDeleteTrebas tady zkusit mrknout: http://www.hotel-chezcharles.com, prip. http://www.hoteliercorse.com. Single tam jsou dostupne.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but $300 + single person = impossible
ReplyDeleteTak treba na tom prvnim odkazu fakt vidim jenom "Chmabre Double", zadnou jinou...
ReplyDeletedo you want to spend your vacation with me? in my place and on my expenses? ...if you don't mind that i am a middle-aged gay of course.
ReplyDeleteNo problem! Wouldn't it be a problem that I don't swallow?
ReplyDeleteadvices in the vein? Since when do you take drugs? Fix it Fx ;-)

ReplyDeletevem stan a jed na orlik :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Uncle Fuka,
ReplyDeletein the nineties, I went to Greece
with similar needs. Try hotel "Zephyros" in Paleokastritsa, Korfu
(phone +30-26630-41244), rent a room, rent a bike, and off you go.
Occupies you for abut 5 days.
Mind you, this was in September,
two weeks after the tourist season ended - prices were low, not much people around, but the beach and
the country was still there. Now it's June, and my bet is that the travel agencies have the full capacity of all hotels combined
pre-booked, and you won't find a place.
As for travel, I _did_ make a deal
with a travel agency: I arranged to
only pay for the travel and wave them goodbye once I got form the bus. Same on the way back: I paid
a travel agency to just take me back to CR; we arranged that I will meet their bus at a given pier.
But nowadays, you can prob'ly go
much cheaper with all the low-cost
air-travels (SkyEurope et al.)
Good Luck.
They even have an email now:

Budget airlines generally don't fly to Corfu, certainly not from Prague :) But you might be able to hitch a ride on some charter; instead of SkyEurope I'd try TravelService or CSA. Beats me if they just sell single seats on the charters, though!
ReplyDeleteCorfu is amazing, though. No idea if you can fit it to your budget, but I'd give a shot to mailing your requirements to http://www.agni.gr/travel/ and seeing if they come up with something. I presume in free market there MUST exist single rooms with a fridge; probably not that cheap, though :)
The whole idea of self-arranged holiday really appeals to me, too bad that as a general rule it WILL be cheaper with a travel agency.
Buy a car and make roadtrip. you can sell that car later (if it will be not stolen)
