The price of holiday essentials in Greece and the Greek Islands has fallen 11% in a year, making it one of the best-value destinations, a survey shows
Writing in the Guardian, Miles Brignall notes that last minute cheap deals to Greece are even more affordable than last year as the cost of eating out and other holiday essentials have fallen compared to last year. Post Office Travel Money reports prices have lowered in a number of eurozone destinations, making them extremely good value for British holidaymakers. The US and Italy were named as the most expensive destinations, with France being high up in the list.
Sarah Munro, the Post Office's head of travel money, is quoted as saying, "The biggest discounts have been on the cost of eating out, as eurozone restaurants battle for business with meal incentives."
