Recommendations for a 1 Week Holiday in Europe.

[MrMagoo]

So i'm looking at getting away for a week with a very good friend. Its all going to be a little last minute, we want to go somewhere in europe where we can Rent some mopeds to go exploring. Any Ideas? A small island would be ideal. We dont want to go anywhere where there's a busy Club culture (Ibiza and the like) as that's not too either of us tastes.

Im off to Hong Kong with the GF this August so this is just a little bit of fun. So the cheaper the better!

Thanks in advance.

Mallorca? Stay on south west of island, great beaches, flights usually not too expensive, 20 minute bus journey into Palma in the evening for some fantastic tapas etc, or else eat locally...

Biarritz? San Sebastián? Easy to get to, beach, good food, good base to explore from

Turkey seems cheap at the moment.

Thank you for the suggestions, I think Majorca is a real possibility.

Mallorca is fabulous in its variety of things to do and see.

However, depending on where you are and flying from, I'd also recommend Almeria in Southern Spain which has some lovely scenery south of Mojacar to the Cabo de Nijar. Andalucia has some lovely mountains but I fear mopeds would struggle.

Canaries are also good for exploring (Gran Canaria has miles and miles of scenic roads and lots of motorbikes) but flights will be more.

Re: Mallorca

Check out Illetas - has about 3 fantastic beaches, all in walking distance, and the Number 3 bus to Palma is cheap as chips and doesn't take long. You will prob find a good selection of apartments for rent on Owners Direct, otherwise there are some reasonably priced hotels.
Portals Nous is also fantastic in evening time, not cheap to eat there etc but well worth a visit to

Illetas has 3 beaches? Where did the other 2 come from? or are you including Cala Major and Portals in that? I'll third Majorca though...
