Generally u wont get anything cheap for July or August, and most travel agents will also tell u this. I waited last year but ended up paying full price. I checked every website going, rang every travel agent, was signed up to every newsletter but nada! Apparently u really only get last minute cheapies in May/June/September. I paid full price which was about 600 for one week for Crete for end of July i think it was, end of July or first week in August.
