I have been looking at holidays today. My girlfirend saw a top looking place in Zakynthos a 4 star new complex on the beach in what looks like a quite resort. That "quiet" suits me now as my young nipper would be comming along who is 3 months. The price was £802 for two weeks all in (self catering). I told the missus no as it was too dear, she said I was just a tight bas*ard and that it was cheap. What do you think? Is it true am I tight? First two weeks in sept if it matters.
Thanks

Not tight as thats a really high price. I wouldnt expect to pay more than £500 for that hol especially as nipper goes free !! & the saving of £300 goes nicely on the spending money front
Shop around, teletext is always quite good

So thats for two adults and one kid?
People think I`m tight but I just dont like paying more for something I can get cheaper else where, which is proberbly much like you. Nothing wrong with that.
I would proberbly wait until a bit nearer your travel date if you can. Should get cheaper. It all depends on how flexable your departure date is? Also ask how many seats left on your travel date? Check with other travel agents for the same holiday? May get free travel insurance? Don`t buy the travel agents own, try the Post Office. You could try internet search sites like http://www.bargainholidays.com but I do find it easier to get a travel agent to do it for you.
I did a search and got - Available Holidays in ZANTE Departing From: GATWICK Departure Date: 07 Sep 2003 Duration: 14 Nights Cost - £239
Hope you have a good holiday!
