Holidays to Turkey are becoming increasingly affordable due to the plummeting lira, while hoteliers attempt to entice tourists with their attractive prices. Research shows that deals for
four-star hotels in the sun-kissed region can be found for as little as £122 per person for a week. Portugal’s Algarve region offers the second-best value, with 84 stunning Blue Flag
beaches. Miles of unspoilt coastline and bustling fishing towns characterise the Algarve. Popular Blue Flag beaches include Praia do Anção, close to resort towns Vale de Lobo and Quinta do
Lago, and Praia do Barril in the east. Four-star hotels start from £229 per person for seven nights. Ranking third, Spain’s Costa Blanca offers 62 Blue Flag Beaches and hotels costing
just under £300 for a week’s stay. On the Beach marketing director, Alan Harding, commented: “There are thousands of glorious beaches across Europe and our research has revealed which
destinations offer the very best value in terms of beach quality. “Whilst Spain has more Blue Flag beaches than any other country overall, Antalya and its surrounding resorts - such as Belek
and Side, is home to more Blue Flag beaches than any other single destination and offers phenomenal value in terms of accommodation.” TOP TEN BEST VALUE BLUE FLAG BEACH DESTINATIONS *
