Cheap Holidays to Greece
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to cheap holidays to Greece. Head to the beloved hotspots of Rhodes, Corfu or Crete for a bargain beach break. Or discover the quainter side of Greece with a trip to Kefalonia.
Between Greece’s huge collection of islands and mainland resorts (check out dreamy Kalamata in the Peloponnese region!), there’s every style of accommodation – including budget boutiques and studios for savvy spenders. And with affordable tavernas around every corner, plus an array of gorgeous Greek beaches at the top of must-do lists, you won’t be left strapped for cash.
Greece HolidaysCheap Holidays to Turkey
Whether you’re money-conscious or just looking for a sunny steal, cheap holidays to Turkey have never been so affordable! From budget beachfront bliss in Antalya to grand bazaar bargains in oh-so-dreamy Dalaman. Or, if you really want to save big, a spur-of-the-moment Bodrum break won’t disappoint.
Plus, Turkey reigns supreme when it comes to adding value with impressive All Inclusive packages. And that makes it super easy to plan your spends before you go. Look forward to indulgent inclusions like fancy patisserie treats, as much sticky baklava as you can handle, and plenty of things to do – all wrapped up in one upfront price.
Turkey HolidaysCheap Holidays to Spain
With a short flight time, it’s no surprise cheap Spain holidays are so popular. Head to the Costas for inexpensive eats and lengthy blankets of sand fronted by the azure Med – just a couple of the low-cost things to do in Spain.
Got Barcelona on the brain? You won’t need a bank loan to afford our Spanish city breaks, just look at Madrid and Seville - proof that beach resorts don’t have dibs on cheap package holidays.
And as for out-of-season steals, the Canary Islands guarantee year-round sun and budget fun. They’re a bit further than mainland Spain and the Balearics, but that warm winter weather makes the journey well worth it!
Spain HolidaysCheap Holidays to Portugal
Portugal is a great alternative to Spain if you’re looking for a cheap holiday close to the UK. Secure a room-only bargain by the Algarve’s golden coastline or go All Inclusive and save even more on meals. Those looking to grab some late sun for less should head for Madeira whose sub-tropical climate promises an extended summer and mild winter.

Depending on your preferences it’s always a good idea to compare things like price in relation to destination, board basis, departure airport etc. Just use our filtered search where you can also sort your results based on price or TripAdvisor score. And the more flexible you are, the more likely your chances of grabbing a cheap deal. If you’re not set on dates, you’ll often find that you can save by travelling mid-week or at the very last minute.
Whether you want to stay close to home with a trip to Europe or travel a little further, there are plenty of cheap holiday destinations to choose from.
• The Spanish Costas are perfect if you’re looking for a summer bargain, as are Turkey and Greece which have tons of affordable hotels between them.
• Those seeking something a little more exotic without the high price tag should head for Egypt or Tunisia.
• Long haul holidays are typically more expensive but you’ll often come across some incredible winter deals in the likes of the Dominican Republic and Mexico.
Bonus tip: wherever you're heading, sometimes a two-week getaway is better value than one, so be sure to compare prices!
If you’re lucky enough to be able to book at the very last minute, sometimes it’s worth waiting until a few days before the departure date. With hotels and airlines desperate to fill rooms and seats, the prices can drop. However, this can also be a gamble if the holiday you had your heart set on is no longer available. So, be as flexible as you can, whether that’s being open to new destinations or comparing different board bases.
It’s no secret that prices go up when the kids are on school holidays. But that doesn’t mean you can’t bag yourself a cheap holiday!
As much as most people want to escape during the sizzling six-week summer break, there are some great deals to be had during the October half term with most Mediterranean resorts staying open until the end of the month.
Alternatively, the February and Easter holidays are perfect if you don’t mind travelling a little further afield, with some fantastic sun-filled offers in the Canaries and Egypt.
Just remember, with more people wanting to travel during these times it's a very good idea to secure your trip in advance.
Fancy 4 and 5-star hotels have big discounts too, allowing you to indulge in the high life without the premium price tag. So if you’re looking for cheap luxury holidays it may be worth travelling out of season or opting for a wallet-friendly destination. For even bigger savings, book at the very last minute and you may just bag an exclusive offer on that hotel you’ve always dreamed of.
