Thanks for the reply buddy. Didn't know about LadsHoliday! Have given them a call. See what they say.

AlphaRooms did not even display that hotel.

Hmm... what to do now. It is only Jan and already the best hotel is showing no rooms left!

Any other ideas on four of us can enjoy an 18-30s holiday?

Last year when we went to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, we booked with Balkan Holidays. The events were not full of young people... 35 to 45 year olds were there in plenty. In all their day trip excursions.. quite boring for us lot. Maybe we should just go with an 18-30s party hotel and try and join in with their events or something..

you could always consider Laganas on Zakynthos if you fancy Greece

Laganas looks good but flights are a lot more expensive to there from London. Faliraki is a lot cheaper to fly into. Just need a good party hotel! :cheers

don't know which airport your looking at but Easy jet from LGW [gatwick] is usually around £40 return cheaper to Zth than RHO

Had a look from Gatwick for dates in mid to late July mate... Zante is £50 more expensive than RHO at the moment.. not sure what the prices of the hotels there are like. Will keep looking. Worse comes to worst, might just go for the cheapest 18-30 deal we can find! Last time when we went to Bulgaria, we focused on a cheap hotel and tried to get into the nightlife on our own. This time I wanna focus on the right kind of hotel for what we want so that the crowd starts from the hotel itself and we don't go out looking to make new friends, we head out with them from where we stay!

I'm trying to get you the number,their website is down but they're on facebook,i dont know as they'll have any rooms available to be booked privately in July as it's peak season and if theyre contracted to club18-30 they'll probably all be pre-allocated . personally can think of far better places to stay out here for an all out lads holiday and from my own experience and things i hear from countless people week in week out you're much better of doing a package,personally would avoid 18-30 as 2wentys have always been a lot better in more or less every way and their reps are a lot better,but others may disagree,i'm purely talking about Faliraki!

If you do decide on 18-30 then seriously mate,book the hillside if it's available,easily their best property consistently for literally decades and owned by the same people that invented the famous fishbowls!

All comes down to what you want,if you want a hotel with lots of life and a good bar then does that mean you won't be going out much? also do you want to go on a holiday where everything is designed to get you to spend money on bar crawls and trips?

I'm biased as i've been a worker in Raki for years now but it is the best 'lads' resort in Greece in my opinion,and i've done them all more than once!

Thanks for the advice pal. Hillside is a good distance from the centre that's why we didn't look at it. Have decided on either Malibu Studios for a dirt cheap price or Stamos (oh by the way, I got the number off someone on Facebook and called up the owner, Mr. Stamos himself :) He didn't sound too positive but was a sweet chap and said he would try. (Not much hope I'd say..)

Malibu Studios is in a little lane off to the side of the main road, but is the same distance from all attractions as Stamos. Like I said, getting a dirt cheap package ;) If we go with Malibu (i.e. if Mr. Stamos can't help us out), we will basically be spending the day at the Stamos pool :D and nights out in town and use our hotel just to sleep in. We are planning to contact the reps of 18-30, escapades etc and get their bar crawl and events tickets from them.

Idea is to have a good time by the pool during the day, maybe some sight seeing on a few of the days, and party, party, party at night. I just hope it's not just ALL lads and there's plenty of ladies too :cheers

18-30 events appeals because we boys can get to meet other people (read: chicks :D ) through the common pub crawl and events around the pool during the day. That said, we won't be out and about like that every night.. and we are careful with our money so all good.

Thanks again!

you'll meet a lot more babes at the hillside mate but fair enough,if you want central and a lot going on then blow the stamos out and go to club studios,can't get much more central than right on bar street,opposite the best part of the beach,next door to kfc,pizza hut,mcdonalds,a strip club and the sling shot!,good pool parties there too,the young ladies from the XXL strip club next door are often there,no prizes for guessing what they wear(or dont) to sunbathe in. it;s literally a 2 minute walk to liquid club and right on the doorstep of all the better bars,including chaplins beach bar.

The part of the beach closest to stamos is mostly quiet and for families with kids and so on,the part by club is where all the young people(topless birds) go.

That's where i'd be heading if i was doing it all over again for the first time and wasnt a worker.

Tina's is also pretty awesome,much better pool than most of the others,quality 24 hour bar too where not only guests go later on,again more babes!

This might annoy the moderators but i'll say it anyway....if you can't get laid here in faliraki,become a priest!

Ha ha ha! Mate, we guys need to hook up if you're still there in July !! Whereabouts will you be working ??

If we stay at cheap-as-chips Malibu, we'll spend the days (10 day holiday so plenty of days) in the various hotels pools.. there should be no problem getting in. Will do the rounds of Stamos, Club, Tinas during the day time and enjoy all their pool parties.. the lot in the ten days we're there :rofl

Looks like things are shaping up now. Holiday should be booked up by next week. Woohoo!! It is time to share the luurrve :cheers

I'll be in one of the bars at the top end of bar street by then i expect,probably trops,going to another island early season with some other workers to a greek resort,nice to get away from all the madness of faliraki.
