€ / £    Don't let the Euro wreck your naturist holiday
Time was when you'd get 50% more Euros than your pounds - now it's down to not a lot more than the number of pounds. But this doesn't mean you can't afford your naturist holiday at Vera Playa. Here's our tips on how to make your pounds go further and make that naturist holiday a reality in 2008 -
1. Make up your own package - book your flights, car and apartment yourself - cut out the middleman and save a lot of dosh.
2. Avoid the high season - mid July to late August - when apartments are in great demand and prices are high.
3. Be flexible - when you look at flights, check the days before and after your preferred travel days - there can be big differences in fares on offer from one day to another.
4. Shop around - there are lots of apartments for hire, quite a few airlines (flights to Alicante or Murcia are sometimes cheaper than to Almeria) and lots of car hire brokers on the internet - and prices do vary significantly.
5. Negotiate - they do say everything in life is negotiable, so why not your holiday?
So how much will it cost?
Here's our target prices: For a couple, for two weeks, in summer (but not high season) -
one bedroom apartment, target price £570. Flights, for two, incl taxes etc, target price £200. Car hire for 2 weeks - target price £200. Food - allow £10 a day for two, eat in half the time, eat out the other half - total, say £140. Petrol & spending money, allow £100. Travel insurance - target £60 (If you take more than one holiday a year an annual policy will save you money). What have we forgotten? Only travel to and from your UK airport - obviously this can vary a lot.
So what's the total? £1270 - that's only just over £45 a day for each person, all in.
Is that the very cheapest? Why no, try renting a studio apartment (or negotiating very hard) and save £50 per week on accommodation, use a minibus airport transfer service or public transport - you could save up to £150, so the very cheapest is probably around £1060 for two people for two weeks (under £38 per person per day).
