Pack the family, it’s time for a holiday!

A solid number of the Fleewinter team have kids. So naturally, there’s a lot of chatter about where’s best to go on holiday with them – and when.

Being tied to the school holidays often comes with an inflated price tag and that is f r u s t r a t i n g.

But fear not, there are some truly epic family holidays you can take for under £5k this summer!

Turkey and Morocco offer incredible bang-for-your-buck, hot weather, and don’t need a long haul flight, so they’re pretty much the ideal break for young families. Check out Villa Marie in Kalkan, or if you want a bit more of an on-the-go hol, have a look at our Essaouira Sandwich itinerary.

These prices are based on 2 adults and 2 kids but remember: everything we do is tailor-made – so your holiday will be private and personalised to your family.
