  • Hi Del. Am hoping you can help!
    Looking for two weeks, half board, preferably 4-5* hotel although a very nice 3* will do, leaving ON the 29th August. At the moment, Turkey and Tunisia are coming out cheapest (around £350 each is the best I've come across but this is for 3* including transfers). We don't mind where we go but looking for somewhere hot so have been checking Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco and Egypt... any other suggestions welcome! Thanks!
