Bargains

British holidaymakers would be far better off financially if they went on holiday in Bulgaria rather than Brighton - on the south coast of England - according to a survey by Tesco Travel Money, even once the cost of flights is factored into the overall price.

The survey includes the costs of accommodation, car hire, meals and expenses but not air fares. 

The survey reveals that a week in Sofia would cost a family of four 1221 pounds, while a seven-night break in Brighton would set them back 2209 pounds.

Bulgaria works out cheaper than any other country quoted in the survey which, ironically, placed Iceland as the most expensive destination, ahead of Italy, Spain, Croatia, France, Portugal, Greece and the UK - in that order.

Poland, Hungary, Cyprus and Slovenia are all ranked as considerably more expensive than Bulgaria.

Holidays in Turkey and Cyprus would also be cheaper for a British family of four than a stay in Brighton, according to the survey. The figure for Brighton came out at between 390 to 2209 pounds more than buying the equivalent items in Bodrum in Turkey, currently a popular resort for British holidaymakers.
