Croatia holidays 'a good budget option'

Croatia holidays could be a good option for people who want to treat themselves to a getaway without breaking the bank, a currency expert has suggested.

David Swann, currency strategist at Travelex, named Croatia as one of a number of destinations outside the eurozone that offer good value for money for Brits.

He pointed out that the pound has increased in value against the kuna by approximately 6.86 per cent over the past year.

Post Office Travel Money released a report in September which described Croatia holidays as the "winning choice" for holidaymakers travelling to Europe this summer.

Spokesperson Sarah Munro said: "In spite of the improving exchange rate and lower resort costs, it seems that some holidaymakers were still reluctant to travel to the eurozone, which helped to boost demand elsewhere in Europe.

"Croatia has been gaining ground as a result for some time."

People who enjoy outdoor activities can arrange a Croatia sailing trip that includes pursuits such as mountain biking, white-water rafting and hiking.
