Easter city break

Mr_Falling_Star

Any ideas where I can take the good lady and myself for a short city break? I am tearing my hair out here

We want to go to a southern or south eastern european city for a few days between the 11/4 and 18/4. We can fly from Manchester, East Midlands, Doncaster, Humberside, Leeds/Bradford and Luton. Any hotel will do

The sites we have managed to negotiate are quoting around £500-£600 which seems very steep for a few days, even if it is Easter. I have checked Ryanair, jet 2, Easyjet, Thomson and Expedia

Its doing my head in

Have a play with SkyScanner for flights, then book your own hotel.

Some examples:
Flybe 14/4, ret 17/4 MAN to Milan Malpensa, 2 flights 200 quid.
Ryanair same dates EMA to Girona, 2 flights 60 quid (plus baggage etc)

I have no idea about hotels, but doubt 3 days for two would be 300 quid unless you go 5*.

Probably best to go midweek. Also maybe think about non-Protestant/Catholic countries - in Greece the date of Easter is different, while Turkey is Muslim. That means Easter isn't such a big thing for the locals. Maybe the same applies to other countries in the Balkans or North Africa too.

If you are quick you can get cheap flights to Ibiza at least for £3.75 each way from east midlands, over easter as well, then use something like hotelconnect.com or hotelcomparison.com for cheapest available hotel rooms. Worth looking anyway.
