Low-Cost Holiday Destinations

If you're looking for cheap holidays from Ireland that won't break the bank, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a cracking getaway without upsetting your bank manager.

The best place to start is by evaluating your holiday priority list. If cost truly is at the top of your list of priorities, then you'll have a wonderfully broad range of destinations to choose from. For instance, there's no point looking for a Caribbean holiday if your budget barely exceeds that of a weekend in Benidorm - but if you know exactly how much you have to spend and you're flexible on your choice of destination and local resort, the world is your oyster.

Turkey is a traditionally affordable holiday destination thanks to its relatively low cost of living. For those that choose to book self-catering apartments or budget bed and breakfast breaks, you'll find a wonderful selection of markets selling fresh local ingredients, perfect for cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Plus the holiday resorts on Turkey's coast are packed with fabulous restaurants, serving up everything from delicious regional cuisine to Western-influenced dishes - ideal for kids and fussy eaters!

What's more you can book Turkey holidays at Direct Holidays, which is another way to save money. By booking direct you cut out various overheads and expenses, meaning the savings are passed onto the customer.

There are plenty of other low-cost destinations available too, such as Bulgaria, Spain and Malta. These are all popular destinations and due to the high competition between tour operators, you'll often find some great deals on everything from last-minute departures and summer breaks to end of season getaways.

With so much choice on offer and a superb range of sun-drenched low-cost destinations on offer, the world is your oyster. So where will your next summer break take you?
