Looking for a budget Easter holiday break? Greece is expecting you!

Athens has been rated the cheapest capital in western Europe

Newsroom March 30 01:50

Are you looking for the ideal Easter holiday break destination that combines great springtime weather, amazing beaches, traditional charm and low prices? Well, your search is over.

According to an article published on www.mirror.co.uk, British tourists will get more value for money in the east Mediterranean paradise, due to the soaring value of the pound.

Citing data from new research, the article says families changing £500 into euros will get the equivalent of more than £68 more to spend, compared with 12 months ago.

And, given the fact that prices on resort islands are down by as much as 13%, this sum will be more than enough to cover a family meal together with drinks and entertainment.

Moreover, Athens has been rated the cheapest capital in western Europe, which makes Greece the bargain choice for urban dwellers and beach lovers alike.

Note, Orthodox Easter this year falls on April 12, a week after Catholic Easter.
