In need of inspiration - cheap holiday!

Hi guys,

I want to go on holiday with my bf anytime between the 26th July and 4th August, but we're struggling for inspiration! We live in Southampton so it's not to hard to get to any London airport if we were to go abroad.

We looked at camping but don't have a tent and we're shocked that sites seem to cost about £15 per night so we're thinking after petrol and buying a tent, it might not be that much more to go abroad. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers! :)

    I've just booked to fly to Pisa from Bmth Airport during those dates and the tickets themselves were free with rynair but we just have to pay the taxes which was £114 for 4 of us. We've found a really cheap hotel and so the accomodation and flight are coming in at under £300.

    Thanks for the tip Sealady but I think I've missed all the cheap flights to Pisa - had a look on Ryanair and nothing was showing under £30 before taxes! Lucky you though, it sounds like a bargain!

    Anyone got any more suggestions?

    Thanks :)

    Thats a pity as I only booked the flights on thursday evening. Had a quick look and there are tickets available coming back for free on the 4 August if that helps
