When it comes to planning a summer holiday, a trip abroad doesn’t have to break a bank. While traditional destinations such as Spain and Greece can be expensive when you take into account flights, hotel costs and meals out, there are destinations across Europe which are more budget-friendly . Eastern Europe has become popular for affordable city breaks in recent years, yet many won’t be aware that it has some incredible beach destinations too.
Bulgaria has some amazing beach resorts along its Black Sea coast, including Burgas, Nessebar and Sunny Beach. Factor in how cheap it is to eat out in the area - a pint of local beer sets you back around £1.30 on average, with a three-course meal out for two comes in at £30 - and you’ve got a winning combination.
Hotels in Burgas are wallet-friendly; Booking.com has a five night stay in June for two adults at Hotel Bulgaria in June from £441, including breakfast. It also shows a five night stay for two adults at Primoretz Grand Hotel and Spa , the only five star hotel in the resort, £609 breakfast included.
