MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
it's been a while since i've been in a position to afford a holiday. but now i can. last time i went on a proper holiday, i found it on teletext (like i say, it's been a while).
so, where should i look? obviously the internet, but i'm not sure who's reliable and who's not.
basic requirements- not too pricey, nowhere with loads of clubs and that, preferably around the Med, with decent beaches and probably somewhere to hire bikes too. my last holiday was to kefalonia, which would probably fit the bill again tbh...
Easyjet + Alpharooms
By going into your local travel agent and then buying online.
Expedia.co.uk, jet2.com, easyjet, Thomas cook, thomson holidays, co-operative travel. The list goes on. Try Google for "cheap Mediterranean holidays"
I just booked a week in Sorrento early july 4 star hotel wirh Thomas Cook, got 40% or more off the brochure price. Still not cheap mind

+1 for expedia, ebookers etc. But note that the flight + hotel packages won't include baggage on cheaper airlines and won't include transfers so you'll have to include for transport from the airport to the hotel or hire a car (which can be very cheap when included in the package, but buy excess insurance before you travel).
There are a number of blogs / agents for very cheap holidays, for example, holidaypirates.com, travelbird.co.uk.
There are loads of good biking destinations near charter flight airports - search through this forum for holiday recommendations!
