Looking to get away for 7 days from the 23rd September. Latest I can leave is 25th so only a few days to play with. Just for myself.
Ideally leaving from Edinburgh.
A quick look shows gran canaria fir £800 odds.
Is this the average cost ? I remember years gone by where you could get away fir 4/500.
Would consider anywhere with a beach and decent temperatures.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks for reading.

If you want cheap then look to Eastern Europe, Turkey or Bulgaria. Northern Cyprus could also be a good shout.2

Depends on what you want, all inclusive will be more than self catering but then you have to buy food and drink etc.mark_steps said:Looking to get away for 7 days from the 23rd September. Latest I can leave is 25th so only a few days to play with. Just for myself.

What is your budget ? as others have said look all over but there are a lot less holidays available this year due to demand.1 -
Budget would be 750 and I'm hoping for that it would be all inclusive although for that price I may be way off.0

I haven't looked at any prices but Turkey is comparatively good value, has good beaches and I reckon the weather should be good at that time of the year.1

Have you trawled around the internet for deals ?TUI and Jet2 would be my initial search.1

Yeah had a look. I think given the climate just now and the dates I'm available, I'm gonna have to spend a bit more. Only ever done gran can so will probably look there again.NoodleDoodleMan said:Have you trawled around the internet for deals ?TUI and Jet2 would be my initial search.0 -
mark_steps said:Budget would be 750 and I'm hoping for that it would be all inclusive although for that price I may be way off.I had a look through Holiday Hypermarket which is a TUI run site but offers other operators - a few Spanish mainland + Balearics deals AI around your target price - mind you need to add Tourist Tax for the latter, but it's not a huge amount per head.Flying from GLA - but I reckon you'd settle for a weegie deal if the price etc. is acceptable !!!Also a couple or so offers from EDI at your target price - Greece.Good luck

Quite a few to the Greek islands for around £350-400pp, they should be nice at that time of year we went end Sept a couple of years ago. Though a lot cheaper then, £150pp!

I wouldn't do All Inclusive in the Canaries unless you are talking top end 5*. Eating out is relatively affordable and gives you more choice and variety
If you do want to go cheap AI then Turkey is usually decent value.0 -
Anywhere in Southern Europe should still be warm at the end of September.
