Last Minute Deals for Next Week?

Does anyone know any links to find some good last minute deals? I'm looking for somewhere warm for a young couple for 3-4 nights sometime next week for about £200 or less each from liverpool/north-west? We're not that much into beach holidays, prefer more of some sightseeing but lastminute.com seems to come up with mostly beach holidays for this price.

Would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks

    Is there any reason you just want 3/4 nights . There are plenty of good deals for 7 nights , Does the price need to include parking / luggage allowance etc please ?

    You'd proabably be better off booking flights and hotel separate. Barcelona springs to mind you can get easy jet from liverpool for just over £100 and shouldn@t have a problem finding a hotel within budget. Don't discount hostels either loads have private doubles and are often the same price as budget hotels but better quality.

    Mandi - I've only got mon-sun off so doesn't quite make 7 nights unfortunately! And I can travel light so don't need parking or luggage allowance. Thanks!

    cmw1212 - Have been to Barcelona already unfortunately! Thanks for the suggestion though. I might still consider it if can't find anywhere else as my partner hasn't been. Was looking for maybe Istanbul, which flies from Manchester, or parts of Greece but all I can find for those are around £300 for flight alone :-( There are packages in Marmaris but it looks like a beach and not much else!

    hollydays - I had a look at Traveljunky deal, it doesn't start until November which is a shame really. Thanks anyway :-)

    Hi I went to Lisbon in the end! I went on Easyjet and the flights were just under 3 hours, about £130 return to Faro and then got the coach up to Lisbon, which took just over 3hrs and added another £30 return for that! A bit of a complicated way of doing it, but the Lisbon flights weren't frequent enough from the North West. Was worth it anyway, lots to do and see.. although I did start wondering when I came back all tired that maybe I should've had a beach/relaxing holiday! Have a good time, it'll still be warm in November I think. It was over 20 when I got there.
