So my brother and I are going to europe for spring break. March 17th or so till about the 25th. 7 to 9 days.

We want to go to relax rather than do alot fo sight seeing. Preferably a city or town on the coast. And of couse the usual partying

We are thinking portugal or maybe greece right now. Anyone been to a cool place somewhere in mediterrainian area? We've already been to Italy and France.

Anywhere is Greece, maybe corfu or Patras, or the Isles. In March, you want to be down south so you can enjoy the Med. beaches.

Greece definitely but check out spain, there is nothing better than that!

The whole Costa del Sol in Spain and Ibiza would seem to be good bets for that time of year. I was in Sevilla roughly around that time of year, and they had this thing (the day after I left, naturally) where something like 10,000 kids started partying.

Wherever you pick is going to be great!

No way! If you're going for the beaches Portugal is by far the best! Cleanest most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Just sand and water. Lagos was awesome. Total tourist spot but for a REASON! It's absolutely gorgeous!

The cliffs are awesome to climb and just line the shores forever. It's beautiful and the night life is amazing. Not to mention the have the craziest hot dogs ever! (hot dog, honey mustard, mushrooms, carrot, corn, & chips....but SO amazing after the bar). That's also where I learned to surf. I think ti was 35 euros for a day of it (start at 10 back by like 6) good times...

I say fly into Lisboa, hang out there for a bit and take a detour to Sintra before heading to the bars and beaches of Lagos.

Perfect for a week or so.

**simply_angelic** · 02-10-2007, 09:05 PM

haha I think I sold myself on Portugal...I made myself so tempted to go back for my reading week, which just so happens to be in a week, but I looked at the weather and right now it seems to be rain rain rain and not that much heat~ like 15 C. Alas, Portugal will have to wait.

I would suggest going to Rimini/Riccione which are very close to each other and are full of clubs and partying. These two places are called the Ibizia of the Adriatic and have a night bus that takes you to both cities clubs just like in Ibizia.
