Europe's Pocket friendly and Family fun beautiful Resorts are in Turkey and Bulgaria

Europe Pocket friendly and Family fun beautiful Resorts are in Turkey and Bulgaria

Bulgaria and Turkey are the best bets for bargain-hunting families looking to cut their holiday spending, a report has revealed.

The annual Post Office Travel Money Family Holiday Report found that prices have fallen in over half of the 15 leading European resorts surveyed – despite the pound’s recent decline in value.
Other cheap destinations include the Algarve in Portugal and the Costa del Sol in Spain.
However, the report, using figures from May 2019, found that three-quarters of parents who set budgets bust them by 25 percent, spending £159 extra on the average budget of £630 on their last trip.
The biggest pitfall for parents is likely to be the cost of food and drink. Families spent an average of £336 in restaurants, bars and shops, according to the Post Office poll.
The only place where they could easily cut that cost is Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, where prices are down almost 14 percent since last summer to make it the best value of the 15 destinations.
At just over £32 for a family meal for four including drinks together with the cost of a coffee, bottle of beer, glass of wine and soft drink, Sunny Beach has pulled away from its competition and is over a third cheaper than runner-up Marmaris, Turkey

Over the course of a week, wallet-watchers can expect to spend around £225 in Sunny Beach – over £100 less than the average that families spent on food and drinks. By comparison, prices in Ibiza, Croatia, France and Italy are over three times as high.
Ibiza, Zadar and Sorrento are among eight destinations where UK visitors will find a fall in meal and drinks costs.
The biggest fall is in the Algarve, where the Post Office barometer basket has plummeted since last summer by almost a third. At less than £51, the Portuguese family favourite is by far the cheapest of 11 eurozone resort areas surveyed.
Prices have also fallen by 9.5 percent in Playa de Palma, Majorca, to make it sixth cheapest in the food and drinks barometer. Although the Costa del Sol remains lowest-priced of three Spanish destinations surveyed, this is 30 percent pricier than the Algarve.

The cost of beach extras is another potential budget buster because Post Office research found that parents spend an average of £153 on kids’ items. It showed 86 percent splashed out over £35 on ice-creams, while other big ticket items are water parks, pedalo rides and beach gear like buckets and spades, lilos and swimming goggles.
The cost of beach items varies significantly across the 15 resorts surveyed for the Family Holiday Report Beach Barometer. Marmaris is easily the cheapest place for fun in the sun at just £34.39, a year-on-year fall of around 11 percent.
The 10 beach items surveyed cost over 44 percent more in its closest competitors – Sunny Beach and Costa del Sol.

The value available to families visiting Marmaris and other Turkish resorts has been boosted by a sterling surge that makes it worth around 20 per cent more against the Turkish lira than last summer. This means visitors can currently expect to receive around £83 extra in Turkish lira on a foreign exchange transaction of £500 at the Post Office.
As with meals and drinks, Post Office Travel Money researchers found that Beach Barometer prices have dropped in over half of the resorts surveyed. Aside from Marmaris, the biggest falls have been in two of the more expensive resorts. In Sorrento prices have dropped 12 per cent to £92.82 and in Ibiza they are 17 percent lower than a year ago at £93.09.
The highest premium on beach fun is in Nice. The 10 beach barometer items cost over three times as much in the South of France as in Marmaris. However, while prices have risen only marginally in Nice – by 1.8 percent – there have been bigger increases in Greece and Croatia since last summer.

Families visiting Crete can expect to pay 13 per cent more, while they are likely to pay 11 percent more for the 10 items in Porec, Croatia
Nick Boden, head of Post Office Travel Money, said: ‘If you’re planning a beach holiday abroad, keeping a tight rein on your holiday funds will be crucial this summer to avoid busting the budget.
‘The Beach Barometer reveals how paying for beach items can tip the family holiday budget into the red so plan carefully and keep costs down by packing sun cream, insect repellent, swimming goggles and last year’s lilo into the suitcase. That should help pay for ice creams! ‘Another easy win is to buy currency before leaving home to avoid poor airport bureau rates.’

Hidden Hormone Disruptors In Beauty Products Might Be Behind Your Bad Skin (And Health)

When it comes to trying to be healthy, we’re pretty clued up on what we’re putting into our bodies. We know that junk and processed food is bad for us, and anything that’s been sprayed with pesticides could probably do with a good rinse before we eat it. But do you know the real effects of what you’re putting on your body? Turns out, our favourite everyday beauty products might be secretly packed with ingredients that are actually wreaking havoc with our hormones. Your endocrine system i.e. the system in which all of your hormones are secreted into the blood, is affected by everyday toxins and pollutants. These pollutants trick our hormones into acting in different ways than they’re naturally supposed to behave— and so they’re called ‘endocrine disruptors’. These changes to your hormones can cause anything from irregular periods, hormonal breakouts and (in very extreme cases) birth defects, illnesses and cancer. Yikes.
