Millions of tourists from United Kingdom travel abroad every summer. But in order to make your trip a success, it is important to plan your holiday break in advance and now would be the perfect time to start planning. Not that many tourists prefer long flight hours, so the majority of top holiday destinations for Brits are based around the Mediterranean.

1.       Turkey. Turkey has undoubtedly been a popular destination during the past decade and this year is not going to be an exception. This country attracts majority of tourists due to affordability and cheap travel packages. The holidaying value tourists are receiving for the money they spend on their holiday is really hard to beat. Majority of hotels in Turkey follow an “all-inclusive package” rules, which means you can eat and drink how much you want. It’s not a secret that eating and drinking out are the 2 biggest holidaying expenses. There’s a great selection of premium hotels and high-quality resorts in Turkey. Sunny weather and golden sandy beaches on the Mediterranean coast guarantee you will have a good holiday

2.       Spain. Spanish resort cities are definitely going to be hot choices this summer season. Balearic Islands and mainland cities like Malaga, Marbella, Benidorm and Fuengirola are the most popular choices among British tourists. Spanish traditions, delicious cuisine and warm climate have always attracted a lot of tourists from all around the world. Balearic Islands are known for cities like San Antonio in Ibiza and Magaluf in Majorca thanks to wild nightlife. Parties never stop for a moment there, so in case you are travelling with your friends and looking to have some fun this summer, you should most definitely head to Balearics.

Cheap villas in Spain are also very popular among tourists. Rental prices for cheap villas in Spain vary depending on the region, but in general self-catered accommodations in Spain are going to be cheaper than staying in a hotel. Cheap villas in Spain include all amenities you could ever wish for and majority of them have private swimming pools. 

3.       Greece. Traditional Greek charm and stunningly beautiful nature have always attracted millions of tourists every year. Despite the financial struggle Greece has been having lately, this will not affect tourism area at all. Greek islands like Crete and Rhodes are worth a visit. Especially Rhodes Island. This island is only approximately 80 kilometers long and you can make a round trip around the island in a single day. 

If you are going on Crete, do not forget to use an opportunity to rent Crete villas. Financial crisis in Greece is in full swing at the moment, so I’m sure you will be able to find luxurious Crete villas for affordable prices. It would be a shame not to use this opportunity in your favor and spend your holiday in one of the premium Crete villas for standard hotel rates!
