    You need to get a price for the hotel you want and post the details up here and we will try and do it for less

    We are discounters rather than searchers and tbh thats how this Forum works :)

    Return: 07 September 2017 13:55 Kos - 16:15 Manchester

    Found at £1,718.00

    Hotel: Mitsis Blue Domes
    Swim Up Twin Room
    All inclusive
    Transfers
    15kg Luggage x 3
    2 adults 1 child (3 years old)
