Hi Chris
I would call this company up who have given you this costing
There isnt anything near that cost with all of the package holiday tour operators
More like 280 per person with transfers and meal onboard etc etc
Teletext isnt a live system and is usually updated daily, sometimes this isnt the case and certain companys will leave deals on when the holiday doesn't even exist
Thanks

Chris you have the cheapest holiday for Skiathios by using Olympic
There is only Thomas Cook who have anything else and they are much much more expensive
You wont get this holiday cheaper I would book it if your determined to go on that date as the seats are going to pretty quickly

no flights etc just after hotel room.
so far have found 3 star hotel in hells kitchen area of new york on priceline.com,coming up at $120 per night not able to find out which hotel until it has been booked and payed for.
dates of travel for 6 nights 6th-12th october 2010
2 adults and 1 child aged 2.
does not have to be the hells kitchen area but i do not want to be outside of the main city.
the hotel needs to have en-suite rooms as i do not want shared bathroom due to having 2 year old daughter with me.
no budget as such just after a nice comfortable hotel at reasonable price dont mind if it is more than the price i have found so long as i know which hotel it is before booking.
i would prefer to give my money to someone independant in the UK rather than some american company.
