I've been looking into holidays, and a rough estimate of how much the holiday i want to go on (to Symi) will cost about £1500 for a week.
I really don't know that much about what's expensive and what's not, so I was wondering if you think that that is too much for a week holiday?

About £600 of that is spending money, and £123 is accommodation.

Well, it depends on what kind of vacation you're taking. If its something important or you never ever take vacations, then spending 1500 wouldn't be so bad. You should live a little.  

 But, for just going on a whim or something like that, I wouldn't spend that much. I'd cut back the spending money a little, if anything.


remember that this is euros. so its over three thousand dollars. yeah for a week i think thats pretty pricy man. look for a better deal. wait... does that include your plane tickets?


Yeah, i included plane tickets. And it's in pounds.
But it's all just rough amounts, from how much it would cost at the moment, considering I wouldn't be booking it for another year, at least.

Well, the spending money is to include boat trips to beaches every day, because it costs between 7 and 15 euros for a boat to the beach.
Then bearing in mind that we'll want to buy food and drinks, and the place is pretty expensive.

Dissilusioned Posted at 6:44 am on Aug. 28, 2008
Yeah, it is a lot.

But then again, you've allocated £600 for spending money. How did you come up with that?

Thats far too much.

It costs me about £1000, including spending money for me to go to America for 16 days.
