Need a cheap holiday for £200 for the end of July.

Hi Everyone,

My girlfriend and I are desparately trying to find a decent holiday in Europe between the dates of 28th July to 31st July/1st August for £300 pp, including flight and hotel.

The cheapest I've found so far is Cyprus for £360 pp, she'd prefer a place where there is a beach and clubs/bars.

We'll be travelling from London.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Also the nearer to the £300 mark the better. I'm not sure if I'm being ridiculous but it's worth a try.

Thank you guys in advance.
Girlie Girl

    You could try a caravan park in the UK for £50 a night for two people including the travel, I do not thing you will get it to this figure and do know a guy that books cheap all the time and done a week in Bulgaria on his own for £260.00 with flights and board.

    Two people at 4 nights being realistic will be the same as a week away in most places so I would budget more and have extra time away.

    It is worth looking at BA holiday finder.

    If you tick beach and put in your dates a few do come up under £300.

    Have a look at Monarch, Thomas cook, Thomson late deal pages and also holidayhypermarket.

    Also look at Icelolly and loveholidays BUT don't book through them, if you see something you like book the flights direct with the airlines and for the accommodation look at hotelscomparison and hotelscombined websites.

    Btw some of the cheapest package holidays can be on the worst night flight times with poor accommodation, you may be better off with a 5 night flight+accommodation holiday that you like.
