Given the current state of the global economy, cheap package holidays are highly sought-after by UK holidaymakers looking to escape for a week or two in warm sunshine.

Some destinations are currently very attractive when you take exchange rates and the cost of things like eating and drinking into the equation.

Keep reason below to discover three destinations where you can get more for your money and enjoy cheap holidays.

" Turkey

The British Pound is currently strong against the Turkish Lira, meaning you could get around 20% more* for your money on cheap package holidays to Turkey than you would have done last year.

Holidays to Turkey are not just all about sun, sea and fantastic beaches. The country also has some great skiing which makes it a popular year round package holiday destination with travellers from across Europe.

Booking cheap package holidays to Turkey and taking advantage of the lower food and drink prices over there could even work out less expensive than taking a break here in the UK.

" Greece

The value offered on cheap package holidays to Greece ...
... is not so much about the exchange rate, but the lower prices to try and attract tourists back.

The civil unrest in Greece has had an impact on tourism, both on the mainland and the many Greek Islands that are usually such a popular choice with UK tourists.

The unrest only affected a very small part of Greece and hasn't had any adverse impact on its many holiday resorts. If you're looking for cheap package holiday destinations this winter, travel agents have many bargain breaks to Greece.

" Egypt

With a rise of around 8% against the Egyptian Pound*, the British Pound has made Egypt a much more desirable destination in the last year.

Again, the country suffered a blow to tourism through civil unrest in Cairo, but this situation has now stabilised. Resorts such as Sharm el Sheikh were completely unaffected by the protests and as such, remain a fantastic destination to enjoy cheap holidays from the UK.

The Co-operative Travel has a wide selection of cheap package holidays to destinations across the world. When you’re researching cheap holidays remember to look into costs of eating and drinking out while you’re there and not just the travel and accommodation costs.
