URGENT - HELP! Last minute holiday destination - first 3 weeks of August

Hi guys,


We are looking for a last minute holiday destination for 3 people (2 adults and 1 15-year-old teenager) preferably in a sunny area during the first 3 weeks of August.


We are thinking of renting a flat, small house or maybe 2 hotel rooms in Spain, Greece, Creta (our destination is not settled yet) etc...at a reasonable price (beach, swimming pool, sightseeing, farniente..).


Any good offer, internet site, travel agent, address or contact you may share with us would be really appreciated.


Thank you in advance for your help.

Philippe.


Search the internet using maybe some UK (english speaking sites) for villa rental in spain.


Rent a 2 or 3 bed villa with a pool for less than €1000 for 2 weeks, and drive down there, its takes 12 hrs to Barcelona max.


Bon Vacances

Dear Nicole,


I am gathering info at the moment (I could not do it before because of huge changes at work) and will get back to you once I know a bit more about what we can find and afford.


The internet sites you posted look great and very helpful... I have to go through them.


I think we might choose the option of a flat or small villa rental (2 bedrooms) as it's generally more expensive to rent 2 bedrooms for 3 people in a hotel.


Thank you again Laughing


Cheers...
