    • Desired destination(s) Mainland Europe or Islands. Somewhere hot with a good beach and nightlife.
    • Which airport/ports?Bristol or possibly Cardiff
    • Holiday Travel Dates. From Friday 6th Monday 9th June
    • Duration of holiday - 7 Days
    • Number of people travelling 2 adults
    • Type of holiday? My friend and I are looking for a week long holiday in the sun. We are both male and mid 20’s and would like somewhere with decent nightlife but NOT full of 18-30’s/Twenties bar crawls etc. We have been thinking of maybe Marmaris (or other destinations in Turkey), Greek Islands, Portugal or Possibly Mallorca.
    • Board basis? We are very flexible, the cheaper the better so S/C or B&B I presume.
    • What your price range is – up to £250 pp max imum, would prefer under the £200 mark ideally
    • Whether you require an in-flight meal. No meals needed.
    • Are night-flights or stopovers acceptable? Night flights are fine
    • Any specific requirements – As stated above, we would like to relax in the day and possibly explore some of the surrounding areas and then go out and meet people and socialise on the night.
    We have received a quote for a week in Marmaris (club Excelsior) for 1 week on the above dates from my local travel agent (including transfers, meals etc) for £219pp. Is anyone able to beat this quote or provide me with a cheaper price for a holiday that matches the criteria set out abouve?

    Many thanks
