Early May Crete Bargains-check them out!

Options
Hello all, am posting some great deals for CRETE for early May below. I am posting for 3 reasons (as I don't want to be accused of advertising).....A)-I've had some e-mails from MSE members asking for prices, B)-We have an exclusive deal on the BA flights & our rates for the property are MUCH cheaper than going directly, C)-The reviews ( http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g189421-d264560-r3901085-Camari_Garden_Apartments-Rethymnon_Crete.html ) are so damn good!

All prices below are based on GATWICK , BA day flights (so free drinkies & food!), include transfers & are fully ABTA/ATOL bonded by Co-Op Travel. No card charges/extras-until BA pull the plug on our flight exclusive the prices below won't change.

Dates...fly ANY date (Mon-Fri) 01 May-22/5 inclusive. Return land on/by 30/5 latest. Prices are based on occupany-not kids ages (ie all pax pay same per person). Infants £25. Prices below are PER PERSON based on the occupancy of a 1 bedroom apartment.
7 nights-4 SHARE-£205 pp, 3 SHARE-£213pp, 2 SHARE-£229 pp.
10 nights-4 SHARE-£214pp, 3 SHARE-£225 pp, 2 SHARE- £249pp

    Carly....can't do a blanket (ie same price for all dates) price for Manchester/East Midlands/Birmingham as we don't have an 'exclusive' 'same price for all dates' but below is an example...let me know if you need certain dates....durations. Have done a 7 night quote.

    9/5-Manchester. 2 SHARE-£279PP, 3 SHARE-£262PP, 4 SHARE-£253PP.

    9/5 & 23/5-Birmingham, 2 SHARE-£271PP, 3 SHARE-£253PP, 4 SHARE-£245PP.

    Carly-these prices are subject to change as we do not have an 'exclusive' (although we're working on it!) with BA for the flights.

    Thanks travelman. I've asked other half if he can find out about annual leave for either of those dates.

    May is a lovely time to go-remember Crete is the most southerly Greek Island!

    Maisie-any idea of dates/duration/party size? As we don't have the BA exclusive price will depend on the flight cost.

    I'm sure it will be quite warm, but what about water temperature? Any ideas?

    Thanks :) (am very tempted...)

    Dormose-not 100% on this....our good friend google (!) can help!

    I lived in Crete for 5 years in my late twenties-certainly past middle of May air temp great-sea swimable in-allbeit a bit 'fresh' (!). In all honesty, all Med resorts have slightly nippy sea temps in May-strangely early September is when the sea is at it's warmest!

    Yeah, that's why I'd rather go in June - I've got a thing about swimming in the sea! Don't mind 'fresh' personally but my 2-year-old probably would! :D

    Any good deals for anywhere in the Med in June? :) Must be near a beach :)

    Dormouse-do not know if ther'e 2 or 3 pax in your party?? Anyway....ANY departure date (except Saturdays) leaving from 6/6 but to return on/by 30/6 (BA flights on most dates-good availability Mon-Fri)....prices as follows (no hidden extras-transfers included), based on Gatwick, 7 nights, 2 share-£229 pp, 3 share, £255 pp, 11 nights, 2 share -£294 pp, 3 share-£255 pp, 14 nights, 2 share-£323 pp, 3 share-£274 pp. Pleae post if it's 4 shares as per person prices will be lower. Also....any other duration available, 8/9 nights, 6 nights, etc...

    Other airports available but dearer as no exclusive deal on flights. N,B-great pool here but beach a short cab ride away. Don't let that put you off-best reviews I think I've EVER seen on tripadvisor!

    If you want any quotes for anywhere apart from this complex please post on the 'want a quote on something specific' thread-or sloppychops/sava penny will have my bits on a plate (!)
