  • I have just been quoted £5578 for a 2 week holiday departing London Gatwick on the 4th August 2008 for 14 nights staying at Lykia World Family Resort in Olu Deniz in Turkey. This quote is for 2 adults and 4 children aged 2, 10, 12 and 16 and is full board. This includes transfers and is travelling with Cosmos. Would be very interested if anyone could beat this quote. I am quite flexible on dates as long as they fall within the school holidays.

    Thanks in advance.:beer:
