DH and I never go on holiday in August, as we don't have DC's so no school holidays to consider. We normally go in Sept or Oct when it is much cheaper.
Due to DH's work deadlines, August is the only time we can go. Trying to find something for 10 nights - 14 nights and am gob smacked at the prices - just found a few online in Croatia (which up until a few years ago was dirt cheap) - for £900 pp for only a 3 star!!
B&B's in Italy for £600 a week, and flights at an average of £400 - 600 for both of us to Europe!!!
Is it unreasonable to expect to find a beach holiday somewhere decent for under approx £1500, or am I being silly??
