Surprised no one has mentioned Berlin or Barcelona. Would have been up there 10 years ago. Are they out of fashion now?
Howth is a great walk in the wind!100% this.
Best seafood chowder and calamari I have ever had was in Howth.
I used to live in Howth and never realised. Totally wasted on me!
Berlin is really not what it was. Parts of it have horrifically gentrified, but there's no doubt good things still happening if you know where to look.Surprised no one has mentioned Berlin or Barcelona. Would have been up there 10 years ago. Are they out of fashion now?
Ghent over Brussels any day.Beer's amazing, but I think I'd rather pick a different town in Belgium!
Bilbao, Madrid or Ghent would get my vote!
Porto - cheap , interesting , supremely enjoyable city , great food (trams !)
Is gsv specifically ignoring thread suggestions?gsv took a look at the thread - his current thinking is now Santorini. This had the advantage of various cave-based apartments, which is good for his issues with being worken by early morning light
Thought looking at the larger apartments I noted were fewer bedrooms than beds, which suggests they're more geared up for families, or maybe young people sharing rooms/sleeping in a shared space, rather than a group of most couples
