However, if I try to book a ticket at eg Opodo selecting 'multi city', the ticket prices 100GBP higher than the price quoted at ITA. Same goes for booking a ticket on Emirates.com using the stopover 'tab'.

How is this possible? More importantly: How can I book a free stopover?
In my experience the stopovers on the most direct routing are the cheapest. For instance xxx-DXB-xxx. I guess cheapest taxes in DXB.
