Well, look no further! We have compiled a list of the top 4 destinations for
cheap holidays in 2014!
The Greek Islands
At the top of cheap holidays in 2014 list are the Greek
islands! The past few years have been tough for Greece, what with harsh
austerity measures, soaring unemployment and protests being talked about in the
media. This is bad news for Greece, as it thrives off the tourist industry,
which is such a shame as Greece still does what it has done best for years. Due
to the decrease in tourists visiting this place, prices have dramatically come
down in an attempt to get them back. So what are you waiting for? You can grab
a great deal and enjoy stunning popular tourist attractions, without fighting
you way through crowds, as less will be there!
Italy
Italy is known to be very expensive, especially around the
Amalfi Coast and places such as Venice. If you have always wanted to visit
Italy, but just could not afford it, then we have a solution for you! Italy’s
foot! When we say Italy’s foot we mean the south. The heel boasts beautiful
beaches and stunning hilltop views, which will truly take your breath away. So
we suggest looking into holidays to Puglia, Basilicata and Calabria, if you are
on a budget, as you will get great value for money. Even the food available there
known as ‘’cucina povera’, which translates in English to poor man’s food, is
scrumptious and simple. These areas are especially for travellers who want a
relaxed pace to their holiday, as even in peak times it is very quiet.
Bulgaria
Travel experts believe that frugal visits to Eastern Europe
are a thing of the past and this is due to prices going up with the crowds to
well-known cities. Bulgaria is underrated, which is surprising, but this is why
it has made it on to our list of cheap holidays 2014. You can grab some amazing
deals to the capital Sofia. If you are feeling particularly adventurous you
could also look into Plovdiv and Varna. There is plenty to do and see such as
the most famous attraction known as the Rila Monastery. This is free, which is
an added bonus!
