Luca - Italy, most chilled out place I've been to in Europe - people are warm and friendly.

indeed.
are you sure about the pre feb 2004 thing? AFAIK you've always been able to go as a non muslim - although not to Mecca.
i wouldn't fancy saudi much anyway to be fair. the only interesting thing about it i can think of is Mecca, so if you can't go there then whats the point?

you could go but only if you had an invitation form a saudi citizen.

ahh that makes sense now.
Back on topic, i dont think i've ever been somewhere i haven't gotten some enjoyment out of.
That said i dont think i'd recommend iran or switzerland to some people.

iran and switzerland are both lovely 
but as you say, not right for some people
my nomination is for Torquay. It's a shit town full of shit shops

i disagree with Fuerteventura - some of the resorts are pretty bad, but the island is fantastic. we had a lovely hol there last spring. stayed in corralejo which IS quite a yucky purpose built resort type town with lots of irish bars, british bars, etc - BUT rent a car and drive round the island - it's fantastic, hugely contrasting scenery, gorgeous little seaside villages off the beaten track, i'd go back in a shot
Malia in crete would be my idea of a nightmare - but again, crete's a huge island so you cant just write it off

lewes. if you're ever spending a day or two wandering the south downs and your path leads here, find another path.
While India is amazing, and Goa itself is beautiful, I would also include any holiday that involves Calungate Beach. I've seen better beaches in bloody Sussex!

Vegas is the most depressing place on earth, however ripped you are. Just being on the plane going there is enough to make you want to cut your wrists.
Miami- the unfriendliest Latin town you could ever go to.
Barcelona- definitely shite now it's become such a "chic" destination. Was great when you could stay for 80p a night (1980-1983) and eat for the same, and no-one thought it was anything special.
Pacific coast of Ecuador- pigs rooting through their own shit in dusty village streets (apart from the jungly bit up by the Colombian border which is fine).

Barcelona is a wonderful city, doesnt matter if it's "chic" or not. And disliking it because it's prices have caught up with everywhere else is a pointless reason.
Also, for fractionman's benefit, I quite liked Tunisia when I went a couple of years ago. The most annoying bits are the lack of decent public transport, and the stallholders following me asking me to buy their tat.
Cheap as Chips? Tesco? Fuck off!

Missed Montañita and that southern bit, so I'll take your word for it. I'm talking about Jipijapa, Montecristi, Manta, Jaramijó, Bahía Caráquez and all that. It's not just any poverty, though, is it, it's that fucking industrial prawn farming thing that really screws it up.
