Sunshine post-Olympic getaways for singles

For solo travellers who have been glued to the TV for the last two weeks and are now keen to enjoy a sunshine break, here’s a wealth of ideas from singles specialist, Friendship Travel.

Prices lead in at just £495 for a seven-night holiday in Turkey – for Gatwick departures on 23 and 30 August – where guests can enjoy sunshine and relaxation at the ‘small and friendly’ Forever Hotel in Ovacik.

This price includes return flights, transfers, accommodation with breakfast – with sole occupancy of a double/twin room – and two dinners at the hotel’s little restaurant which specialises in traditional Turkish cuisine.

On the Greek island of Paros, there’s saving of £100 per person on offer at the Villa Aeolos, a three-star hotel situated just yards from the beach.  The revised price of £795 per person includes return Gatwick flights, transfers and seven nights’ mainly half-board accommodation with sole occupancy of a double room.

Other affordable getaways include week-long half-board holidays from 3 and 17 September at the Hotel Blue in Bodrum from £625 per person and seven-night half-board breaks at the Caesar’s Gardens Hotel on Rhodes from 19 or 26 September from £725 per person.

All holidays enjoy the services of a Friendship Travel host and departures are also available from a wide choice of regional airports.
