Cheap Holidays to Crete, Sharm El Sheikh, and Turkey Offer Exotic Alternatives to "Brit Beaches

It's no secret that most of the UK holiday crowd continuously heads to the same places when in search of a bit of sunshine.
Summer on our fair shores is often unreliable and the sun is a bit of a stranger.
The Spanish Costas and Islands are amuck with Brits as soon as the thermostat rises above 20 - but why getaway to somewhere overrun with tourists that offers little cultural excitement? Sure it's cheap but you can find plenty of more exciting and exotic options for affordable prices.
Cheap holidays to Crete, Sharm el Sheikh and Turkey are just a few of the options that will spice up your summer holidays.
Crete is an excellent option if you're after a bit of Mediterranean flavor.
You'll also want to do some exploration - so it's worth investigating the archeological finds of the Minoan civilization at Knossos, Phaistos and Gortys.
Greece is a very old country so everywhere you look you're sure to see ancient ruins.
But it's the beautiful beaches that are one of the top reasons cheap holidays to Crete should be on the top of your list.
This huge island (the largest in Greece) has plenty of miles of golden shores to offer, so you can enjoy relaxing and bathing in the warm sun.
Another exotic yet affordable choice for a sunny holiday is Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
Cheap holidays to Sharm are great if you like to mix your sunshine with some activities.
You'll be surrounded by the Red Sea on one side and the mountains of Mount Sinai on the other.
Perfect for diving enthusiasts, the Red Sea boasts the reefs of Tiran and Ras Mohammed, which are known as two of the best diving-spots in the world.
Take the kids dolphin-spotting on a boat trip to Tiran Island, or spend a night under the stars at Bedouin Camp.
Turkey is another country that offers holidaymakers loads of options.
Cheap holidays to Turkey fit every budget and the Turkish Lira offers a very favorable exchange rate to the pound, so you'll be able to stretch your money far here.
There are plenty of different places to stay as well.
From the turquoise shores of the Aegean Sea to the bustling city life that inhabits Istanbul, you can conjure up the perfect holiday.
