Sunny Beach, Bulgaria
Located on the Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast, Sunny Beach is a lively resort known for its sandy beaches and bargain booze. With the cost of a pint averaging at a humble £0.87, there’s know questioning why this seaside destination is a hit with British holiday makers. If you want more from your holiday then a cheap pint, then you’re in luck. A mere 15-minute drive from the party centre, you’ll find Nessebar, a UNESCO listed historical town with a unique combination of Greek and Roman architecture.
Algarve, Portugal
Despite the alcohol prices averaging at a higher £1.69 per pint, Portugal’s stunning Algarve is becoming a go-to destination for budget holiday makers, due to the discounted cost of flights and accommodation. The Southernmost region of Portugal, The Algarve is known for its hot climate and secluded beaches lined with towering limestone cliffs and coves. Most airlines will fly into Faro, a quiet alternative to the nearby Albufeira, which offers a much more vibrant nightlife.
Costa del Sol, Spain
Nestled between the lesser known regions of Costa de la Luz and the Costa Tropical, Costa del Sol is a firm favourite for British tourists. It’s beautiful beaches and clear blue waters are made even more dazzling by the mountainous backdrop that frames the horizon. If you manage to part with the coast, a trip up to Andalucia is a must. Here, you’ll find stunning villages of whitewashed houses rolling down the hills.
