Holiday rentals in Spain are still best value for money in the Eurozone

According to the Holiday Costs Barometer, an annual poll of the cost of holiday items by the Post Office (Travel Services), Bulgaria has come out as the least expensive place to holiday. Villas and apartments in Bulgaria are becoming increasingly popular and this new survey will help build on its recent popularity.

The most expensive places to go and buy items on holiday, which include Turkey, Croatia and Antigua are actually twice as expensive as Bulgaria. Bulgaria has some great places to visit when staying in one of many holiday villas. Bulgaria's Sunny Beach is often a choice for British holiday makers looking to rent private self catering accommodation.

Items, such as drinks and meals were up to £42 cheaper in Bulgaria than they were in Turkey Apartment rentals around the Sunny Beach area start from just £200 per week.

The Algarve in Portugal came in at number 10 in the poll which is good news as it has not been in the top 10 for over 2 years now. Still the cheapest place to buy items while renting holiday villas in Spain is along the Spanish coastal area of the Costa Blanca. France is the most expensive place to visit, closely followed by Cyprus. Villa rentals in Paphos are available from around £300 per week.

Sarah Munro, The head of travel services at the Post Office said "the eurozone has taken a bashing this year, but our survey suggests that tourist outlets in many resorts are taking dramatic steps to encourage tourists"
