stanbul, Dalaman and Bodrum were all in the top ten fastest growing destinations on Skyscanner, and it looks like this is coming at the expensive of traditional favourites such as Greece and Spain.

who just wants sun and sand, the move from Greece to Turkey is an easy one to make, especially if it’s cheaper.

a cup of coffee in Greece costs £3.83, but only £1.79 in Turkey. A bottle of beer would set you back £4.79 in Greece, but only £3.13 in Turkey.
