Any suggestions?

Dear All

We're hoping to be able to go away for a short european break this summer for the first time on holiday for 5 years! Am obviously quite out of touch with searching for holidays, but we're looking for about a 4 night break to somewhere hot e.g. greece for a bargain price.

Unfortunately we really don't have a large budget and would like to go somewhere quiet and untouristy - is it going to be possible?

Please can someone advise on any good locations that I could check out? Also, what do people recommend as a cheaper way to find these holidays? Should I be looking to separate flights and hotels / villas etc?

Thank you to anyone who can take the time to reply, it is much appreciated.:beer:

Been looking through threads for advice on booking my own family holiday and lots of folks seem to be saying it's cheaper booking flights/accom separently on sites like icelolly and travelrepublic.

If you want a package holiday then lots of them are linked now so offer similar holidays:

Direct Holidays/Olympic Holidays/Thomas Cook

First Choice/Thomson's

If you are only going for four days though then you may be better off in main land Spain. Resorts like Benidorm have had a bad rep but we stayed there in a small hotel in the Old Town up the hill a couple of years ago and had a fab time. Ibiza can be lovely too if you stay away for SA & SA bay.

We stayed in the Kassandra Apartments in Trianda, Rhodes a couple of years ago too, it's in a quiet spot but only about a 20 minute bus ride from Rhodes Town and it was fab.

Hi zeddy, we went to Palma for a short break which was about £600 for 4 nights A.I.
very nice small hotel, fabulous friendly staff, and would love to go back again but only for a short break as the food was ok but not brilliant, mind you we did find an english bar up the hill that did a really nice pint of san miguel for only £1.50 - loverly.
I don't know where you are but our first short break was on the euro star and we went to Ghent in belgium for 2 nights (we got some sort of deal) what a fabulous trip, a beautiful old town, full of churches and cobbled streets and restaurants. We did spent a lot of money but hey ho it was worth it.
happy hunting, and good luck with the web site searching.
