  • Been offered by Thomas Cook:

    All inclusive
    £778 to Antalya, Turkey.
    Hotel: Sentido Beldibi
    Duration: 7 nights.
    Depart: 5th June From Manchester
    Return: 14th June 04.40amInflight meal: No
    No special requirements!

    The £778 is all fees and transfer etc for both of us. (not each)

    We are looking for an all inclusive holiday for a couple. this should do it, but it's slightly out of our price range.

    Can you bring it down?

    Regards

    Nick
