Bargain Bulgaria has pipped Turkey to top spot in the latest survey of value-for-money holiday hotspots. Skyrocketing prices in Turkish resorts have contributed to the change, according to a new study.
Research from the latest Post Office Family Holiday Report has highlighted how local prices in Marmaris, Turkey, have mushroomed as restaurants, cafes and shops raise prices to cushion themselves against the drastic fall of the Turkish lira against sterling. Even though sterling is significantly stronger against the lira, there will still be price rises for Britons.
By comparison, the rise in meal costs in Bulgaria's Sunny Beach was smaller so it has edged ahead of Turkey. Produced for the first time in conjunction with TUI, the Post Office Beach compared costs in 16 European destinations and found prices have surged in most resorts since before the pandemic.
