Selling a holiday

Hi,

Can anyone advise the best way to go about selling a holiday?
I've got a two week self catering holiday to Turkey (for two people) booked from the 24th August and due to personal circumstances may not be able to go.
Looks like I can't cancel and get a refund, so I am looking to sell the trip and I'll cover the cost of name change etc.
Any help would be really appreciated,
Regards

    Has anyone got any idea? Ebay? Gumtree?

    you cannot sell holidays/flights on ebay unless you are a travel agent so possibly gumtree, guess anything you get back would be a bonus

    How about local notice boards or local papers? Are you on Facebook? maybe you could mention it on there.

    Did you book it at a high street travel agents sometimes they'll try and sell it on for you.

    Thanks for the majority of answers. I'll look to just advertise it on FB, Gumtree etc and see.

    You will probably find the cost of a name change is the same as the cost of the flight. I would check it first before advertising it.
