    Hi, am contemplating a week in Northern Cyprus. Dates in May.

    Two 'silvery' adults, so outside of school holidays preferred.
    Need a location reasonably central for sightseeing/touring, but accomodation within walking distance of bars/restaurants.

    London airports to be avoided, as are silly o'clock flight times.

    Have 'done' southern cyprus in previous years and would now like to see the top end of the island.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Any thoughts on Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, August this year?

    Looking for flights from Aberdeen, 6th August only, for 14 nts. Would like really good accommodation, half-board, for 2 adults. Victoria Palace hotel has been suggested. Anyone know it?

    Would welcome an idea of likely cost, Travelman.

    Thanks

  • Grumps-for Northern Cyprus try Anatolian Sky Holidays (they're also on the web)-not on our list-sorry! Some of the other Travel Bods might be able to use them?

    Robin-Sweden is not my best area-perhaps PEEJAY or another travel bod can help-sorry !

    Blindman-much as it pains me to say this (!) there are very good early booking offers with the major Tour Op's that, even with ALL our commision off we can't match! My area of skill is accom only + flights-& the people we use won't release accom. only rates for next year until September this year.

    Emcee-not familiar at all with that Hotel-sorry. I do know that Bulgaria is very popular at the moment. Check out the cost with Balkan, 1st choice etc....PM any prices & if we can better it we will. Unfortunately can't get this on accom only which is a shame.

    Kind regards,

    Chris

    Thanks for the reply.

    Thought as much, especially this far in advance.

    Any major tour operator you'd recommend for SIDE in Turkey??

    I think they're all a bunch of thieves :(

    Hello Travelman,
    Are you able to quote me for the JW Marriott Rihga Hotel:
    arr 21 May 05
    dep 24 May 05
    1 room (but 2 beds)

    Best prices so far are Marriott $350/night not inc tax ($1199 total I think)
    and Expedia £658 inc of tax ($1177.92)

    Many thanks
    Clare
  • Expedia win on this one-I can't think of anyone we use who'd better these prices-sorry!
