Best holiday spots in the eurozone

Corfu, Greece

Greece has financial woes but this has made the islands highly affordable tourist destinations again. Of them, Corfu is one of the biggest and most interesting. There's enough packed in to cater for most tastes - archaeology and museums in Corfu Town, walking and mountain biking inland and floppable beaches on the coast. Those with a sense of adventure can hop on the regular ferry to Albania too - and it's even cheaper there.

Why in 2012: Easyjet is starting flights from Luton airport to Corfu on March 31 - and the increased competition should bring flight prices right down.

I'll bide my time here until the Euro zone settles down. At the minute the Euro/pound exchange rate is Rubbish!

(£1.000 to €1.208)

Yes I agree, its time to book a family holiday in the sun. Not a lot of point saving with very little return on your already heavily taxed money . Sick of other people making money on my investments and choosing not to pay out much in return blaming the economic climate. Working all the hours you can get and not getting much richer , take a break and enjoy some of the hard earned cash while you've still got it.

I totally agree with you ....but ...sorry I need a holiday !

There is a limit as to how much we need to be made to feel individually responsible for the current situation.

As for putting money into something with growth..... that doesn't happen at the moment. Interest rates are abysmal, house prices not rising etc .

So, sorry, but this weekend we're booking our holidays for the next few months.

I disagree. The Pound was around €1-50 2,5 years ago so it hasn't even gained a lot. It certainly shouldn't be where it is at the moment. It still makes holidaying in Euroland expensive!

Holiday at home in some of our own lovely holiday areas.
