Luxury for less

With the summer holidays looming, if you haven't yet booked you could be tempted to hastily go for the first bucket and chuck it bargain break that comes along. Take a little more time to weigh up your options however and you can be the envy of the pool side, cannily saving pounds on a top quality holiday in a stunning location.

Award-winning independent Turkey specialist Anatolian Sky Holidays demonstrate that paying less doesn't mean compromising on standards with some excellent late availability deals from a variety of regional departure points. For couples, the four star boutique Ottoman Residence in Akyaka, a charming fishing village with scenery to die for is a great choice: a one week stay on a bed and breakfast basis, departing from Manchester on 28th July has been reduced from £619pp to £479pp, a saving of up to £140pp. This property is ideal for a relaxing break as it does not cater for children under 12.

Or why not plump for Dalyan? Famed for its endangered loggerhead turtles, incredible rock tombs and vast, golden sandy beach. The four star Dalyan Resort Hotel boasts a peaceful riverside setting yet lies within walking distance of the resort's numerous shops and restaurants. There is a saving of up to £156pp on departures from Bristol on 21st July: was £711pp, now £555pp.

Families can make savings too. A family of four staying at the all-inclusive Green Platan Hotel in Ciftlikkoy (near Icmeler) for seven nights, departing 25th August from Manchester pay £2,686, a £114 reduction.

All holidays include flights, in-flight meals, transfers, taxes, the services of a local representative and are subject to availability. To book or for details on these and other late availability deals visit Anatolian-sky.co.uk.
