The cheapest short-haul holiday destination for UK families has been revealed – and its not in Spain
The budget-friendly holiday hotspot UK families are flocking to
- Marmaris, Turkey, has been identified as the cheapest short-haul holiday destination for UK families, according to Post Office Travel Money.
- A basket of 10 common tourist items in Marmaris costs £128.99, which is nearly half the price of the most expensive destination surveyed, Ibiza.
- The low prices are primarily due to a significant fall in the value of the Turkish lira against the pound.
- Despite local price increases in Turkey, the favourable exchange rate means British visitors will only pay approximately 10 per cent more than a year ago.
- Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, and Portugal's Algarve were ranked as the second and third most affordable destinations for UK holidaymakers.
