The beach holidays where your pound will go further revealed: Bulgaria, the Algarve and Costa Del Sol are Europe's best value destinations
If the beach holiday purse-strings are tight, it's Bulgaria you should head to, according to a new report, because that's where the pound will stretch the furthest.
This has been revealed by the Post Office Travel Money Holiday Costs Barometer, which compares costs in 19 European beach resorts.
It said that Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, thanks to tumbling prices, is cheaper than ever and is the best bet for a bargain break for the fourth-year running.
An evening meal for two with wine will set UK visitors back less than £20, while lunch for two is under £6 and suncream is cheaper than the lowest-priced UK bottle at £3.72.
Post Office research also found tourist costs in Sunny Beach to be lower than at any time in the past five years.
Andrew Brown of Post Office Travel Money said: 'Tour operators have already reported that holidays to Bulgaria are selling like hot cakes and our research makes it clear that Sunny Beach will offer cash-strapped holidaymakers unbeatable value this year.
'Meal costs are really the deciding factor in Bulgaria's favour. Over the course of a week's holiday, lunch and evening meals for two will cost around £175 in Sunny Beach but this could mushroom to over £600 in more expensive resorts in France or Italy. If you haven't already booked a holiday do your homework to find a resort which best fits your budget
