Reasons Not To Go To Ibiza
A summer getaway to Ibiza is the traditional rite of passage for teenagers across the country. The sun, sea and masses of likeminded individuals make the Mediterranean island an extremely attractive proposition to youngsters eager to get away from exams and part time jobs.
The hedonistic extremes are an equally inviting offer for older holidaymakers too. In fact, whether it’s exams or the daily grind, when it comes to getting away from the stresses of everyday life, few places compare with the fun packed holiday’s you get in Ibiza.
Unfortunately, however, while you might be able to forget your problems while you’re on your trip of a life time, it can come at a huge financial cost. The average admittance fee to a club is around £35; while neither drinks nor food, not to mention accommodation, come cheap. All this means that when you get back from your jaunt to Ibiza, you’re not only greeted by all the problems you left behind, you’ve got to contend with the sight of an empty wallet.
But, don’t despair; there are still plenty of other destinations for even the most diehard fun lovers.
Mykonos, Greece
Mykonos is a beautiful Greek island that is part of the Cyclades. As well as spectacular scenery, wonderful beaches and sultry evenings, the summer destination is also home to some great parties, at half the cost of Ibiza.
Punta del Este
While the flights to the Uruguayan beach resort of Punta del Este may be a bit more expensive than hopping on an Easy Jet flight to Ibiza, you’ll be able to recoup a bit of the money when you get there. Although steady, the currency in Uruguay is particularly weak against the GBP, making the parties and beaches in Punta del Este, considered some of the best in South America, very affordable for those from Britain.
Koh Phangan, Thailand
Thailand is famous for a number of things, including great food, great weather and very friendly locals. The Southeast Asian region is also known for having an array of picturesque white sand beaches and amazing parties. One of the most notorious get-togethers is the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan. The celebration takes place on the every month on the full moon and features music, circus acts and cheap drinks.
Mancora, Peru
Set on the northern coast of Peru, on one of the country’s unique desert beaches is the party area of Mancora. The region is best enjoyed during the Summer months of December and March, however, there are temperate climates all year round, and as well as plenty of clubs and beach parties.
Whether you choose to go to Ibiza or elsewhere you can raise extra funds to get you travelling by selling your stuff on websites such as Music Magpie which offers a service for those looking to sell Playstation 3, consoles, games and other electronic devices that you no longer need to cover the costs of another fantastic trip.
