Spain has topped a ranking of the best value overseas destinations for UK holidaymakers, according to poll of tourists. Mainland resorts in the Mediterranean country were given a 92 per cent value rating by past visitors in a survey of more than 2,000 people commissioned by Post Office Travel Money.
The Spanish Canary Islands were in second place at 91 per cent, followed by Greece with 89 per cent, with Turkey and Portugal in joint fourth at 88 per cent. Mexico was the highest ranked long-haul destination for value, with a rating of 85 per cent putting it in eighth spot.
Turkey is one of the few destinations where sterling will stretch further than last year. Britons changing £500 can expect to receive more than 50 per cent more in Turkish lira – the equivalent of almost £167 extra - for their pounds.
