Any help would be appreciated :o)

Hello!

I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help!

I'm being a bit miserable at the moment and have decided I need a holiday. Only problem is I want a cheap holiday for the 2nd week in July(ish).

Had a bit of a look around and when I think I've found a good deal they add on a load of extra costs which make it too expensive

The holiday is for myself and a friend, don't really mind where we go as long as it's hot but not painfully so! We're wanting A.I if possible to save on costs when we're there (unless you know of a better way?) We want to be able to laze around a nice pool/beach but have things to do relatively close by. Ideally not somewhere like Benidorm or Costa del Sol but somewhere a bit different from home!

Living in Bristol so would be great to fly from here but can get to Birmingham and London easily.

Around £400 for everything would be ideal!

Thanks in advance guys, I'm just stressing out more looking

Oo one last question... Almost booked a great deal to Morocco as the site said it would be about 28C but i've since been told it's more likely to be above 40C which would be too hot for my blonde self. Which is true?

Cheap AI means you're likely to get penne pasta with chopped toms and dried basil for dinner so why not go self catering and you'll be able to afford the grated cheese to shake on top.

I was only thinking that because I did it last year and had a lovely hotel with really good food, not a fried pasta shell in sight! That was Portinatx for a week for £280! Looking now, I think I was lucky back then.. I'll have a look for S.C too.

Perhaps Ryanair flights to Bergerac or easyJet to Bordeaux and then stay at Arcachon.

Where in Morocco? The weather can vary depending where you are e.g. Atlantic coast cooler, inland such as Marrakech hotter and then places like Taroudant & Ourzazate hotter still.

It was Agadir? It was a really good deal but if it's anywhere near 40C i don't think I could cope! Tend to go for 30C ish and still end up in the shade a lot of the time! I'd like to go in to Marrakech for a day to have a look but not to stay for the week.

Big ask is that. I assume you mean £400 per person?

Try Turkey, had a look on first choice and found AI in Turkey departing from London 14th July for £444 per person. Hotel described as 4 star. How good it actually is who knows? Worth a look.

hanb

Yeah £400pp would be ideal but can spend £500. I've found A.I in 4* Turkey for about £280 but they're advising against "all but essential" travel to Turkey at the moment That scares me a bit!

No, they're not. Read it again.

http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/travel-advice-by-country/europe/turkey

We advise against all but essential travel in the provinces of Hakkari, Sirnak, Siirt and Tunceli

Unless you want to go to one of those four areas, and you don't, then there's not a problem.

As post below says, not problems at all with Turkey in the tourist areas.

I'd be scared to go to an AI for as low as £280. I'd be checking those tripadvisor reviews first!

Look on first choice a few on there for around £500 if you can stretch to that plus some cheaper ones.

hanb

Ah thank you, I clearly read that and got scared without reading properly.:o

Yeah, I do love trip advisor but that's the price I paid for a great one last year. I'll go back to looking at Turkey then. Thanks again.:D
