Prices - The myth exposed: Turkey versus Greece

Last Updated on Tuesday, 08 June 2010 17:48

In-resort costs are 25% more economical in Greece than in Turkey, according to research by Skyscanner. The flight comparison search engine surveyed over 1500 UK consumers, asking them to rank 30 popular destinations in order of perceived expense. Although consumers believe that Greece was the 19th most expensive destination, actual costs, both with and without flight costs, mean that Greece in fact ranks as the 2nd most competetively priced destination overall. Recent negative publicity generated by the financial crisis and industrial action appear to have resulted in prices being slashed, and "...from a value perspective..." for holidays in Greece, this "...really is an extremely good time to go."
