When to go

  • Best months: May, June and September
  • Cheapest months: November to March, though many resorts close
  • Avoid: August, unless you like packed beaches and peak prices

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. With a 20 kg case at £25–£45 each way, the total is rarely the fare you first saw.
  • Landing after 22:00? Sort the transfer in advance; buses thin out and the taxi rank carries the markup.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Separate bookings mean separate protection: check what ATOL cover each seller actually gives you.
