Holidaymakers from the UK have been looking for alternatives to some of their favourite European destinations this year as budgets have tightened and the Euro currency has gained in strength. Fortunately, hotels in Turkey and Egypt are offering themselves as affordable options not too far from home. Favourable exchange rates alongside the cheap Turkey and Egypt hotels are proving a desirable combination for holidaymakers considering these two locations just outside the Eurozone.
Travellers wanting to save some cash would do well to head to Turkey on holiday. The country offers an enticing mix of low cost of living and some incredible deals on good quality, but cheap Turkey hotels designed to suit all types of visitor. Turkey has been making a particular name for itself in the holiday charts this winter as a top pick. Its currency – the Lira – has played a major role in it becoming a best buy location destination recently. The country still has a number of years before it can join the EU and start thinking about swapping its Lira for the Euro. Thanks to an exchange rate of around 2.4 Lira to the Pound, UK visitors can expect a bit more for their cash, particularly compared with some of Turkey’s European neighbours. Cheap deals on accommodation offer another bonus for holidaymakers. All inclusive hotel packages can be found for as low as £10 per person per night this winter.
Across the water from Turkey, there are more cheap hotels available in the popular North African destination of Egypt. In terms of day to day affordability, the country follows hot on the heels of Turkey in the low cost of living stakes. Meanwhile, all inclusive hotels in Egypt offer further value for holidaymakers. Two people can enjoy a seven night all inclusive stay for just over £18 per person per night this winter. Whichever destination travellers decide to visit in the end, a trip just outside the Eurozone is an excellent choice for affordable holidaying.
