Corfu for £5 - how bad can it be? Vincent Graff discovers the true cost of cheap breaks
Back in January, as the recession took hold, the travel company Thomson unveiled an extraordinary set of offers. There was £12 for a night in Goa, £6 for a night in Crete, and, most eye catching of all, £5 for a night in a "four-star" apartment in Corfu. For less than the price of two pints of beer in London, I could spend a couple of days in one of Europe's premier holiday destinations. There was, of course, the odd catch. Like getting there.

Costa Rica Luxury Beach Villa Offers Turtle Watching / Nesting Tours
Take advantage of the upcoming turtle nesting season, starting now, but most active in September, October and November. Turtles
often come up at night to nest on the beach directly in front of the Casa Oceano, and sometimes even during the day. Turtles will
lay between 60 and 100 eggs at a time. Then the baby turtles will hatch in about 45 days and scramble for the ocean, hopefully
under the cover of darkness and safe from most predators. Years later, when the hatchlings are mature, they will make their way
back to the same beach, often to the same spot, to once again begin the cycle of life.
Casa Oceano, a luxury beach rental villa, has six bedrooms, is directly on the beach and surrounded by jungle areas that are home
to exotic, tropical wildlife - howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, iguanas, geckos, and parrots, most of which can be observed and
photographed from the oceanfront patio or cantilevered, bedroom balconies. An oceanfront infinity pool provides unforgettable views
and sunset colors and is just 10 steps from the sand.
