According to financial website This is Money, the British Post Office Travel Money city costs barometer survey, studied the deflation and drop in prices in 28 cities finding the cheapest weakened destinations for Brits in Europe. Athens was placed 5th on the list emerging as “the cheapest in Western Europe, boosted by the low cost of eating out at 40 euros for two, and a total of 180 euros for a whole weekend vacation. “It’s a win-win situation for UK holidaymakers this year in European cities because prices are down in the majority of cities we surveyed, thanks to the soaring value of sterling. However, prices continue to vary significantly in different cities so it makes sense to do some holiday homework before taking the plunge and booking a capital break,” said Andrew Brown of the Post Office Travel Money. The cheapest cities in Europe, before Athens were Vilnius, Lithuania; Budapest, Hungary; Riga, Latvia and Tallinn, Estonia. Furthermore, the Greek capital was closely followed by Dubrovnik, Croatia; Prague, Czech Republic; Lisbon, Portugal; Krakow, Poland and Strasbourg, France. British tourists are able to benefit from the crisis that has caused prices to drop in most Eurozone countries, while the value of the British pound remains stable. “British tourists will have an average of 22 percent more to spend than a year ago on a European city break,” wrote the website.
