Brilliant Thomas Cook holiday deals with discounts for JOE readers

By now you’re all probably dreaming of a getaway in the sunshine so check out these brilliant offers from Thomas Cook with specially reduced rates for JOE readers.

When the mercury topped a whopping 16 degrees earlier this week, we all whipped off our layers in unison and dared to dream about the balmy Irish summer that was surely on the way.

As we’ve seen since, that’s simply not going to happen, not for the foreseeable future at least, so now you’ve got a taste for that big thing in the sky that doesn’t visit here all that often, check out some of the amazing deals that Thomas Cook have on offer for those of you who already have itchy feet at the thought of jetting away to sunnier climes at the earliest opportunity.

Turkey

Dublin to Izmir, 18th May, 3* Paloma Rina Apts on Self Catering

Price: €380pp. Price for JOE.ie readers: €330pp

Kusadasi has long been a popular spot with Irish holidaymakers, so if you don’t mind bumping into a few more of your compatriots while you’re away, the Paloma Rina Apartments are close to the resort centre, on the main promenade opposite the marina, and are an ideal choice for those who want a relaxing holiday but don’t want to be too far away from the nightspots when they get the urge to part-ay.

Ibiza

Dublin to Ibiza, 31st May, 2* Laura Apts on Self Catering

Price: €429pp. Price for JOE.ie readers: €359pp

Fancy livin’ it laaaarge in I-beef-a this summer?

Apologies for the crass stereotype as there is a lot more to Ibiza than the big nightclubs, although holidaymakers who find that sort of thing appealing certainly won’t be disappointed.

The apartments here are basic but comfortable and perfect for those who don’t plan on spending a lot of time in their accommodation for the duration of their holiday. They're also available at a very affordable price for readers of this fine website.

Majorca from Cork, 4th May, 3* Hi Bouganvilla Apts on Self Catering

Price: €399pp. Price for JOE.ie readers:  €329pp

Like Kusadasi, Santa Ponsa is a hugely popular spot with Irish holidaymakers, but there must be a reason we keep going back in our droves year after year, right?

The Boungavilla Apartments are a short walk both from the main beaches and the resort centre, which, as anyone who has been there will testify, comes alive at night.

Lanzarote from Shannon, 04th May, 3* Plaza Palmeras on Self Catering.

Price: €369pp. Price for JOE.ie readers: €309pp

Lanzarote is a little more relaxed than other popular tourist destinations in that neck of the woods, but you still don’t have to look that hard for a good time if you’re after it.

Located right on the coastline in Puerto del Carmen, the Plaza Palmeras apartments are only ten minutes from the airport and are close to everything you want to be close to for the duration of your stay.
