    Hi All

    Looking for a cheap trip in June, anywhere in Turkey really, want a pool and a beach within a 10 minute walk.

    Flights, I'm nearest Stansted but can do Gatwick

    Can do anything from 9th June to the 20th and 5,6 or 7 days. Want bed and breakfast minimum, half board preferably

    Budget is £300 each person




    Can anyone beat either of these quotes or provide something better?

    Hi looking for a quote to beat £637.97 pp all taxes included
    Round trip flights for two adults
    London heathrow to Buenos Aires 30/06/10
    Buenos Aires to Mexico city 13/07/10
    Mexico city to London gatwick 28/07/10

    Quote is from American airlines, but flights are with Iberia LAN and Mexicana.
    Dates are flexible a few days either way but must include being in Argentina a day or two either side of 11/07/10 (total solar eclipse).

    Mexico city is also possibly a flexible destination, my remit is somewhere interesting and warm (outside Europe) on the way back from mid winter in Argentina. Mexico seemed the cheapest/best connected.

    Cheers

    Thanks Kay/Minxtress - Think I've decided that Marmaris area isnt for us though and I'm thinking more Olu Deniz now

    Probably looking to spend £300 each half board

    update- just seen the beach is mainly shingle and beach shoes are needed really, thats the one thing putting us off the area so
