Cyprus Comes Out Cheapest Holiday Destination

An interesting article in the Guardian has Cyprus as the cheapest holiday destination.

The survey looking at holiday costs has France, Switzerland and Denmark as most expensive destinations, with Cyprus cheapest.

France is the most expensive place to take a holiday according to research published today, despite the public perception that it is cheaper to visit than the Nordic countries, Dubai and Japan.

A survey by flight comparison website Skyscanner compared the cost of paying for various typical items – including a coffee, a beer, a meal, accommodation in a Marriott hotel and hiring a car from Avis – in 30 different countries and found that the cheapest place to buy these was Cyprus, followed by mainland Greece and South Africa.

If the cost of a flight was then included Cyprus and Greece were still the cheapest, followed by Morocco.

I think this is very interesting and would like to know how they came to this conclusion.
