After having my fears confirmed the last minute holiday to Turkey for all inclusive we were looking at is overpriced according to some other forums.

Is there any countries we could try for all inclusive under £650 per person short haul preferably in a 4* leaving the week beginning 16th September?

We looked at Tenerife with the travel agent but she couldn't find us something under £800 per person odd for one week...

Just trying to find other areas we can try before I give up completely.

Tunisia, Bulgaria ? Never been to either but if I was trying to get something short haul and cheap that is where I would start.

Sorry should have put flying from Scotland. :-(

No flights to Tunisia, not sure about Bulgaria will have a look thanks.

Preferably want somewhere quiet.

Hi, just had a look on the Thomas cook website and they have some offers flying from Glasgow that week, 4 star in bodrun under £500, lanzarote around £600 worth having a look?

I've cleared my cookies but I'm not coming up with anything under £500?

Thank you for looking. I presume denny.53 that Beldibi is a bit over crowded and such like then?

Can you get to Morocco from Glasgow ? Another place that I haven't been but just trying to think of traditionally cheapish destinations for you.

I think decent AI 's in Turkey ie the five stars into Antalya are pretty expensive unfortunately

We found a deal at Club Turban near Marmaris at around £650 but on other forums they felt that was overpriced...

I think we can get to Morocco from Glasgow will check that out thanks.

You can fly to Bulgaria from Edinburgh or Glasgow, Bulgaria is so cheap its unreal and its a great place to go, we have been there this year already and were there twice last year, its fantastic value but only go SC or BB :).
You can book through Balkan Holidays
http://www.balkanholidays.co.uk
Going with Balkan you get 20kg luggage

Re: Suggestions for other places to try for all inclusive.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

We decided to postpone until the first week of October but that didn't help either. We found one Crete deal half board but it went as soon as we tried to book it and then we found another two possiblities but again by the time we got the check out screen the flights had gone (one I think was never available in the first place)

Now there is hardly any flights left for that first week in October, they're all full so not sure what we're going to do now..The second week in October is really pushing the budget as the school holidays are starting...

I tried Balkan travel but it just came up as no flights available...

Re: Suggestions for other places to try for all inclusive.

I think the further into October you go you might get better weather in the Canaries than in Turkey, canaries seem to be an all your round destination whereas marmaris has a season that comes to an end during october. Depends on how important weather is to you I guess.

Re: Suggestions for other places to try for all inclusive.

Thank you Sparklycat and Doe...

I didn't get chance to post my reply before the forum went down.

We have found somewhere near Antalya at a reasonable price thank goodness. Just got to sort the transfers out and then it'll be booked.
