help me find a Cheap Week to Greece on Sunday please??

Hello,

I know Greece and this Sunday kind of narrows the search and therefore how good a deal we could get but if anybody here knows where to look or even better can find me a quote it would be a great help as i havent came across anything yet. Our specifications are:

1week, leaving Sunday(Or Saturday late afternoon/Evening) from Glasgow or Prestwick(Or Edinburgh for the right deal) To any Greek island for 2people.

Thanks in advance for any help

    Thans saveapenny. I knew you would maybe give me something :-) Yes sadly Monday the 21st is too late however the a departure after 3pm on Saturday is no problem. Zante sounds nice, as does crete. We are fexibile where we go and £250 pp is our budget. Thanks and keep the options coming....appreciated. & i am going to keep my eye on your zante quote

    thanks again

    It depends a lot on what you're after. If you want quiet, be careful with Zante as they might stick you in Laganas (the kind of town they need to hose down each morning). Equally with Crete, you could get Malia. If you want lively - great.

    If you are after quiet, I can recommend the place in Crete that me and Mrs TNG got married last year. The Blue Aegean in Kato Gouves - google it and you'll get to their website. They also have a Yahoo group dedicated to it as people luuuurv it there and keep going back (as we have) and if you get flight only to Heraklion, you'd probably be able to book the apartment direct if they have any spaces.

    We are happy for either lively or quiet(Ideally a nice resort in between with clean beaches but a selection of bars). We are flexibile where we go....zante, crete, rhodes.....and are also happy to book flights and the apartment/hotel seperate if a good deal is to be had. I am just so rubbish at researching and finding good-value deals......so all your quotes are much appreciated. We are planning on booking Thursday, but could do so Friday also, if theres a better deal to be had last minute......what do you think? Please keep the quotes coming...its a big help and i look into every single one....Unfourtunately TNG the Blue Aegean is fully booked then....but thanks anyway....the village its in looks great, iv just been looking into it and where else you could stay there!

    Please keep all ideas/quotes coming guys....thanks alot.

    I wouldnt leave it too late ...the Zante, Rhodes and Crete ones are the only ones left
    Keep an eye on the eclipse site and this one https://www.destinationholidays.co.uk
    Crete with https://www.thomascook.co.uk on the 22.50 flight onthe 19th is working out at around £500 for both so keep an eye on that one too
    Apart from those there isnt anything else left

    The deals that are coming up all seem to be in the young and lively areas
    Falaraki (Rhodes) ..Very Lively Personaly I wouldnt touch it can be a bit too much
    I would go for the Zante one because I have never been and because whats coming up for Crete is also in the young and lively area but the Allocation on Arrival one to Zante you could get lucky.
    If you call EclipseDirect you might get a 3*AOA for not much more and that will almost guarnetee a pool
    3*AOA price is now £452.16 ...I would go for this one
    2*AOA as been reduced to £415.36
    both without flight meals and 15kg lugage allowance
