Bulgaria is best for bargain-hunting British holidaymakers thanks to plunging resort prices, according to a survey.

And the strengthening of the pound against the euro is making the Portuguese Algarve and Spain’s Costa del Sol good value for money for UK travellers too, the survey by Post Office Travel Money found.

Prices of 10 typical holiday items, including a two-course lunch for two and a three-course evening meal for two plus wine, were assessed in 14 European resorts. The items were cheapest, at just £37, in Sunny Beach in Bulgaria, with the Algarve (£44) the next-best value-for-money destination followed by Spain’s Costa del Sol (£48).
