    Magic Breaks have 2 weeks for 2 Adults AI at the 4* Greenland Hotel in Ovacik for £777 (includes fuel surcharge etc). If you knock off the in flight meals you can save another £20 a head.

    If you have (or apply for) a coop travelcard credit card, Coop Travel Care will match that price, and then knock another 5% off if you use their CC, there's no fee for paying by credit card, and you get 1% cash back on the credit card too.

    Hope this helps

    I was just telling the OP what deal I'd got, so she could make enquiries.

    We rented a newly restored villa near Antalya (Belek/Kadriye) last August for just £375/week during high season. 3 double rooms + sofa bed + full air conditioning + private 8m x 4m pool. Absolutely superb. Flights were extra but we got what I thought was a reasonable deal considering it was peak season.

    The people who manage the villa are a Turkish/English couple. The villa comes with its own "pet taxi driver" who is on call to you at all hours and his prices are really reasonable so it almost isn't worth renting a car - although we did this for a few days for less than €40/day. We did some cooking the in the villa but the local restaurants were so good we didn't bother most of the time. Most of the people we spoke to who were staying in hotels had ditched their fully inclusive deals and were eating out as well. Be warned!

    I have the contact details for the villa owner if you are interested.

    Thanks for the replys so far.Sloppychops i was hoping to get a good deal for £1500 or less......its actually 2 adults,1 14 year old,1 12 year old and 2 7 year olds,we`re really flexible on dates,destinations etc ,but as this is probably the only time we`ll be able to afford AI we thought we`d give the kids a treat!

    I wouldn't bother going AI if i were you, the food out there is so cheap anyway you'll be spoiled for choice.

    I'm going in 5 weeks time :j and went to the same place last year, if you need any more info let me know.

    Are you looking for somewhere busy or quiet, if quiet i've got the perfect place for you :D
