Bargain holiday....

[jofra]

As a subscriber to a certain computer magazine, every so often as a "loyal reader" I am offered a bargain holiday (which usually is a genuine bargain!) - the latest, I am surprised but very pleased to see is an "Eight day Cultural Tour of Cyprus" - but it is North Cyprus!
Flight into Ercan, first three nights at an hotel in Famagusta region with the next four nights in the Kyrenia region - all 4 or 5 star hotels; trips and excursions to the Karpaz, Salamis, Bellapais, Nicosia - all the historical and modern attractions, and finally flight back from Ercan - all from £149!
Of course, that's in January - as the months progress, supplements are added......
BUT - North Cyprus? I think it's wonderful, and extremely encouraging that some company is prepared to recognise the TRNC.....
I'm very tempted.....

Yes indeed, sounds great!

Hi All,
As I said, I receive these offers (envelope insert) in the magazine, being described as a "loyal reader" - the bumph indicates/implies that these are arranged as limited number group charters, which is how the big discounts are obtained, with recipients of the offer(s) being urged to book soon as availability is limited.
However, the fine print does name the tour operator as:
RSD Travel Ltd., Regents Place, 338 Euston Road, London NW1 3BT.
The fine print also states "RSD Travel Ltd and RSD Reise Service Deutschland GmbH belong to a European group of tour operators that organises tours for customers from a number of European countries."
It also states that that the holidays are protected by the CAA and financially protected by the ATOL scheme.
An email address is mentioned as http://www.rsd-travel.co.uk - don't know whether any of this is of use, but good luck anyway - incidentally, in my case the magazine concerned is 'Computeractive', but I suspect other magazines may also negotiate/offer trips like these for their subscribers.
