Get your credit card ready, because you’re not going to want to miss out on these holiday destinations. They’ve been named the cheapest places in Europe, and you’re going to love them.
Bulgaria – Sunny Beach
Sunny Beach is the most popular resort on the black sea coastline of Bulgaria. Your time at Sunny beach can be as jam-packed as you like, with water sports available, water parks, beach volleyball and horse-riding. It has a stunning beach and lively nightlife and is popular with young people, who come to drink and dance the night away, yet it’s also suitable for families who want a cheap break.
Despite its surge in popularity, prices have remained low. Bulgaria offers an affordable alternative to other more well-known destinations, without leaving anything out. On average, a 3 course meal for 2, including a bottle of wine, costs 
around £22.00, a bottle of beer costs 67p and a glass of wine costs about £1.79.
Turkey – Marmaris
Nestled among the pine trees on a beautiful Turkish mountainside, you’ll find Marmaris. It’s a popular spot for tourists, and offers so much to discover. The waters here are as clear as the sky, and clash wonderfully with the green from the cypress and pines that surround the beaches. For a truly memorable sunset, hike one of the mountains and get a superb panoramic view.
Currently, the Turkish Lira is at an all time low, which is bad news for them but great news for us, as it means lower prices than ever. For example, a meal for two now costs around £8.80, and a beer, under £3.00.
Spain –The Costas
Both Costa Del Sol and Costa Blanca where once hot spots for holidaymakers, as they knew what they were going to get, and were promised year round, excellent weather. Since then, tourists have branched out and tried new places, but the Costas still offer the same sandy beaches and sun-drenched old cobbled towns.The Costa Islands are perfect for families, as there is nothing you can’t do here. There’s a huge stretch of beach, a sea-life centre and theme park, to name just a few. There’s no shortage of value-for-money bars, shops and restaurants either.
For a cooked breakfast you’re likely to pay around £5.00, £14.00 for a two-course meal or lunch for two, and for bottled beers, about £1.70.
Portugal – Algarve
The Algarve receives constant admiration for its breath-taking cliffs, golden beaches and sandy islands. A favourite among tourists, it does all it can to cater to them. There are tonnes of activities, bars, castles, diving, entertainment and fun to be had, but delve deeper into the enchanting inner Algarve, and you’ll discover historic villages, pretty castle towns and flower-covered hillsides.
Prices in the Algarve are very reasonable (of course, otherwise it wouldn’t be on this list.) A beer usually costs about £1.30, and a glass of wine around £1.70. On average, a 2-course meal, including a bottle of house wine, can cost less than £25.
Cyprus – Paphos
Paphos merges old with new – There’s traditional Cyprus, with cobbled streets and shaded pavement cafes, and then downhill there’s a modern harbour packed with bars and restaurants. There’s so much to explore here, with history that stretches as far back as the Neolithic times. You can marvel at the medieval castle, Egyptian catacombs or take your pick of any of the villas, palaces and fortresses, and when you’ve finished, you can relax on its wonderful blue flag white, sandy beach.
Believed to be the birthplace of Greek Goddess of love and beauty ‘Aphrodite’, this small harbour has slowly and steadily, emerged as an attractive tourist destination. The prices aren’t bad either: A 3 course meal for two in a mid-range restaurant would cost around £40.00, while one meal at an inexpensive restaurant costs around £10.00, and a local beer costs £3.00.
Greece – Crete
Crete is Greece’s biggest island, and the fifth largest island in the Mediterranean sea, and because it’s so huge, it has a lot of coastline to go around. You’ll have a full spectrum of beaches to choose from, that offer different things for different tastes. Historically, Crete’s timeline stretches back more than 4,000 years. The Minoans who lived here were some of the first people in the world to have fashions, parties and women’s rights. Another thing you’ll notice about Crete, is its unspoilt mountain scenery and white-washed houses. It’s a beautiful place to visit.
Of course, it’s cheap too. Greece declared themselves bankrupt not so long ago, and are still trying to pick up the pieces. Until then, prices remain low; a English breakfast costs around £2.30, the most you’ll pay for a pint of beer is £2.70, and a glass of wine costs £1.50.
