  • The best price we have found - to hotel Lion, is £205 per person, leaving from Gatwick on 28th July for 7 days. We are booking for 2 adults. This is on a bed and breakfast basis.

    Can anyone beat this? (Not too bothered about the hotel inparticular - we were just looking for a cheap week somewhere, We are happy to leave at any time in the morning from any midlands or london airport, board is irrelevant too)
  • Can anyone beat this it to KOS this Saturday dont mind changing hotel but need to be close to beach and places to eat

    Thank You
