Turkey

  • Average temperature in May: 23C

With an average flight time of four hours and cheap holiday deals all year round, Turkey is always at the top of the list for Brits looking for beach breaks.

The country is home to many popular resorts, such as Antalya and Bodrum, but there are also lesser-known and cheaper hotspots like Side.

Avoid these common holiday booking mistakes for a stress-free vacation

If you're opting for one of these popular destinations, you should also visit the little-known island fans claim is the ‘Maldives of the Mediterranean’.

Beyond the beaches, tourists can visit shopping bazaars, quaint villages, or even try out a traditional hammam.

Don't forget to take a boat rides along the Turkish Riviera, also known as the Turquoise Coast.

Here is a selection of deals we've found this May:

  • 7 nights self-catering at Celik Apartments in Icmeler, Dalaman -
  • 7 nights self-catering at Hibiscus I And II in Marmaris, Dalaman -
  • 7 nights all-inclusive at Idas Hotel in Icmeler, Dalaman -
  • 7 nights all-inclusive at Sultan of Side in Side, Antalya -

Spain

  • Average temperature in May: 24C

Spain is a great destination for Brits looking for a holiday at the beach in May, as it's home to some of the "most beautiful beaches" in Europe.

The country's varied coastline, which stretches along the Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas, offers something for every beach lover.

Beach towns like Marbella, Malaga and Costa del Sol are some of Brits' favourite options for a spring holiday, as they are a bit closer than the islands.

That said, Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Fuerteventura are still available at cheap prices and can offer a different vibe.

An often overlooked option is Galicia, which is an affordable but unspoilt Spanish coast where the beaches are as wild as the nightlife.

Regardless of where you pick, week-long deals are starting from £152pp.

Here are just some of the best ones we've spotted:

  • 7 nights self-catering at Salou Pacific Apartments in Salou, Costa Dorada -
  • 7 nights all-inclusive at Bungalows Castillo Beach in Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura -
  • 7 nights all-inclusive at Sun Club El Dorado in Cabo Blanco, Majorca -

Greece

  • Average temperature in May: 25C

Much like Spain, Greece is a short-haul destination, perfect for a spring getaway in the sun.

May also marks the beginning of the tourist season, so everything will be open, but it will be less crowded than July and August.

Mainland Greece and its islands are known for pretty beaches, quaint seaside villages, and pristine waters.

The beaches range from picture-perfect white sands of Mykonos and Santorini to the quiet coves of Crete and Rhodes.

These are a few deals we've found in the sale:

  • 7 nights self-catering at Jimmy's Apartments in Sidari, Corfu -
  • 7 nights self-catering at Katikies Studios & Apartments in Lardos, Rhodes -
  • 7 nights all-inclusive at Fereniki Resort and Spa in Georgioupolis, Crete -

Depending on when your holiday is, you could even secure it with .

ATOL and ABTA protection is in place for every holiday.

For more holiday deals, we've found the Turkish holiday destination fans claim is the ‘Maldives of the Mediterranean’.
