Escape to an unspoilt corner of the Med with this week-long North Cyprus break from Direct Traveller. At £349, the deal includes transfers, checked baggage and daily meals, and saves £263 on the usual price.

In full, you get direct flights from London Gatwick, 20kg checked baggage and seven nights at the 4-star LA Hotel Resort in Kyrenia. Guests will receive a free upgrade to half board, including breakfast and dinner each day, plus free airport transfers (worth £50). 

Departures are available on 1-2, 7-9, 11-14, 16, 18-30 April; 1-2, 5-16, 18-25, 28-31 October. Fly from Birmingham for an extra £45 per person or from Manchester for £35. 

Just nine miles from Kyrenia town centre, the 4-star hotel has its own private beach, three swimming pools, a tennis court and a selection of restaurants and bars. The air-conditioned rooms have their own private balconies or terraces. North Cyprus uses Turkish lira, making it significantly cheaper than within the eurozone.

Book by 1 March.

Travelzoo tip: Hire a car to explore the hidden gems of this region -- Alagadi beach, where loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs in May; St Hilarion Castle, for spectacular views over Kyrenia; and the historical ruins of the kingdom of Lambousa, dating back to the 8th century BC.

Update (28 February 2012, 1:30pm): Please note, due to popular demand departures on 1-2, 7 April and 18-25 October are no longer available. But the price has been reduced further to £299 per person on 18 & 22 April.
