    Hi,

    Looking to try and beat this holiday price from Cosmos.

    Manchester to Kos, staying at Mitsis Norida Beach All Inclusive. Leave 23rd July for 14 nights. 2 adults and 2 children (15 and 13 so both classed as adults aswell). No inflight meals or pre-booked seats selected. Price from Cosmos £3857.

    Same holiday last year but departed 9th August was £2898 booked with on the beach holidays. This time round the same company is quoting over £4000 even more than cosmos.

    Can anybody get anywhere near last years price? Willing to leave from 23rd to 30th July.

    Kind regards.
