Top bargain destinations named
Cost-conscious travellers are increasingly looking to tighten their belts and, with the euro reaching new strengths, holidaymakers are now keener than ever to look for somewhere new and cheap to visit, it has been claimed.Writing for the Guardian, Benji Lanyado, gave his top five tips for those looking for a low-cost getaway - with some of the destinations being closer than would-be tourists might imagine.
The Baltic Coast of
Poland is his top choice, although he points out that travellers will have to hurry as the country is obligated to adopt the euro at some point in the future.
For those who fancy something a bit different, rural
Iceland should offer visitors plenty of opportunity to explore out-of-the-way places, Mr Lanyado added.
He explained that while the country is traditionally expensive, the krona has fallen in value recently.
"In short, there's never been a better time to visit, and you'll be doing their economy a favour whilst you're at it," Mr Lanyado said.
Albania,
Turkey and
Egypt make up the rest of his top five.
Those looking to save money on their trips abroad might want to choose a self-catering holiday.
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) claimed such breaks are perfect for families as they offer a degree of flexibility.
