Ok, my bloke and I (along with some of his mates) have decided right this instant that we're going to book flights somewhere tonight for a summer jaunt. Problem being we can't decide where we want to go, and I'm looking for some recommendations of where you've been that's fantastic, or even places you've heard good stuff about.
It would be mid-August and while Newcastle would be the obvious preference we would be able to fly from any of the northern airports in England or even Edinburgh if necessary.
We're seasoned holidayers/travellers (some of us are near-enough professionals ) so I'm not worried about finding places to stay etc, we're just stumped on where to go. Budget isn't tight (though we don't have millions) and we (or at least, I) would go pretty much anywhere. Though obviously not too long-haul as we'll probably only go for a week/10 days. I'm already going to Germany, and probably Austria and Denmark too... along with Japan in early Autumn so they're not the ones. Would like to go somewhere a bit off the beaten track, if that's possible.
Inspiration, please!

Cheap, pretty, and excellent English. Also not quite suffering from the Prague effect yet- but will do soon.
Kermit I'm actually planning to go to Estonia with different people so I probably shouldn't make two sets of plans of that variety; I've heard excellent things from my friends who've been there in the past couple of years though.
couple pictures here.....the beachy one's agadir....

prague is still good fun even if it is a bit over run.
im heading for prague, vienna, bratislava. ive heard good things about bratislava, maybe a bit small tho for just a single trip.
Yup, good choice. Slovenia is still nice but is going touristy - shame. Also Slovakia hasn't had the problems of prauge for some reason, yet right nextdoor. Nice place.
Well you may (or may not) be interested to hear that we booked up yesterday to go to St Petersburg for ten days. Really cheap flights surprisingly enough, and we can go out of Newcastle which saves a lot of hassle.
It was the only place suggested that none of us had been and it got the thumbs up all-round. I'm incredibly excited now, been doing loads of geeky reading up about it on the 'net. Were you there at all or just in Moscow? Any advice or tips would be appreciated of course!
Am pretty relieved, as before Russia was brought up in conversation they were debating the chances of us all coming back alive if we went to Burma.
Apply for your visa's ASAP i missed out on going to russia because the russian embassy decided not to open its post for 6 weeks.....
We're on the case :thumb:
I was actually at Pamukkale a few years back, Ephesus too. Didn't get to Cappadocia but I've heard great things... not enough holiday time in the year dammit.
