Per person for 10 nights: return flights from London, your share of a 3-star room or apartment for two (or a dorm bed), and about £50 a day for food, drinks, local transport and an activity. Flights cost more in UK school holidays; August is counted as school holidays here. Our estimate for a 3-star room or apartment shared by two. These are rough guides, not quotes, so check live prices before you book.
