The school holidays aren't exactly synonymous with budget-friendly.
In fact, prices notoriously hike up during the school holiday dates which can mean that a week in the sun can turn into a bank-breaking experience.
But that's not entirely the case. In fact, there are some destinations where you can still find cheap deals, without having to compromise on sun, sea or sand.
We've teamed up with TravelSupermarket to find the destinations where you can still find deals during July and August.
The website compared 25 travel firms to seek out some of the top deals for a family of four during July and August.
We've included a mix of everything from self-catering to all-inclusive too, to tailor to a wide range of holiday types.
Happy holiday hunting!
