SHORT breaks are a great way to explore a new destination without spending a fortune.

And with the summer season upon us, May is the best time to take a short break to a sunny destination under £200pp.

Next month, you could head to some of Brits' favourite destinations, including the Algarve in Portugal, Spain, Bulgaria and Turkey.

All the destinations included in the list will have an average temperature of 24C or more, and virtually no chance of rain.

The best deals are available on four-night stays.

There are different types of stays available, from self-catering and room-only to all-inclusive.
