Most budget holiday abroad where?
For many years, tours to Turkey, Egypt and Bulgaria have been considered the cheapest. Türkiye and Egypt attract beloved and comfortable all-inclusive.

Bulgaria has a mild climate and lower prices compared to the rest of Europe. But with the growth of popularity among tourists, the cost of holidays in these countries is also growing. Therefore, more budget option there will be a trip to Croatia, Montenegro, Romania and even Baltic coast Poland, where you can have a great rest in a nice hot summer.

Moderately original, but not causing an unforeseen reaction in the Slavic stomachs. You can also get to these countries by car.

Greece, Italy and Spain will also cost tourists less than the rest of Europe. Especially if you relax a little out of season and not in the most popular tourist centers. Experienced Tourists claim that prices are a couple of tens of kilometers from resort area an order of magnitude less. That is, if you rent an apartment or a hotel room in small town on the coast in the same Spain or Italy, the rest will be much cheaper. By the way, apartments with several bedrooms and a kitchen always cost less than a room.

The prices there are so low that if it were not for the road, holidays in these countries could be called the most budgetary. However, the flight is guaranteed to eat up a significant amount. Moreover, there are not so many charters in that direction and the cost of air tickets is still high.

The second method is suitable for big cities, where there are many travel agencies. First you need to pack your bags, and then go on a “hunt” for profitable tours by agencies. As a rule, within 2-3 days, some offer at bargain prices appears.

In border areas, it will be more profitable to take buses to the Eurozone and fly from there. Housing can be found in advance on the Internet.
