Artemis Travel is saying �Bah, Humbug!� to those sacrificing winter holidays during the credit crunch. With rising energy costs, food bills and high petrol prices, it is almost cheaper to be out of the UK than in it this winter.

Accommodation at Artemis Travel�s Aegean Park resort in Turkey is being offered for under �3 per person per night throughout the winter � less than the return travel fare to the office each day, the price of lunch or that quick after-work tipple.

This price applies to Aegean Park�s two-bedroom apartments, which sleep up to six guests and can be booked for �125 per week until the end of February 2009. Even bookings over Christmas and New Year are available at this inflation-busting price.

�With Christmas just around the corner, many people � particularly families � are feeling the financial strain even more right now� says Nigel Harris, business development director of Artemis Travel. �Instead of spending money on novelty socks and bath salts that will be buried in a drawer by New Year, we�re giving people the option of cutting down on present buying and instead investing in a group holiday in Turkey for everyone to enjoy.�

There is even better value on longer-term bookings at Aegean Park, with four weeks available for the price of three. This should suit anyone with more time on their hands - families may even decide to treat the grandparents to an extra long dose of winter sunshine, allowing them to save on heating bills.

The climate on the Aegean coast of Turkey averages 18� to 20� C in the winter months, so guests can take advantage of the all-year-round swimming pool at Aegean Park as well as the beach at Altinkum which is within walking distance.

Apartments contain self-catering facilities, with an on-site restaurant and bar plus further dining and entertainment options in nearby Didim and Altinkum. Adult guests also have full use of the Apollo Health Spa, which offers fitness facilities as well as beauty treatments, at sister resort Club Aegean. Artemis Travel provides a free courtesy bus service to the centre of Altinkum and between its resorts.

Artemis Travel�s Aegean Park resort is easily accessible from airports at Bodrum or Izmir, which in turn are linked by scheduled, low-cost and charter flights from departure points around the UK.
