Santorini has a reputation for emptying wallets, but its best experiences are cheap or free. Here is how to do the island well without the eye-watering bill, and where to spend when it counts.

BA Holidays: Algarve week from £319

A 4-star Algarve week from £319pp is a lovely low-season BA Holidays find, especially with Gatwick flights, breakfast, and a checked bag included.

Zante 14-night holiday from £138pp with bags

Two weeks in Zante for £138pp is a ridiculous early-summer price compared with the roughly £400pp package prices we saw in the same search, especially with breakfast, checked bags and transfers included.
