These three destinations are currently top value picks for vacations in 2024 offering a nice climate, interesting adventures and great value for money\u2014it\u2019s perfect timing to visit Albania, Egypt and Morocco.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to get an average of holiday costs across countries. It depends where you live and if flights (the probable mode of transport) are plentiful and\/or long-haul. Is the destination a popular one? It\u2019s also hard to compare countries on a like-for-like basis and currency exchange and inflation play a large role.<\/p>\n

Holidays can be expensive. A three-night vacation in the U.S. might\u00a0cost, for instance, $1,389.09 for an individual and it\u2019s hard to find a destination that costs less than what you might spend at home, but some of these can offer great value. As a comparison, life in the UK costs on average \u00a353 ($67) per day (based on an average U.K. three-bedroom rental with utilities).<\/p>\n

Visit the new European hotspot, Albania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Albania has long been a summer haunt for Italians because of its sublime beaches\u2014there are 296 miles of waterfront, stretching from the Adriatic to the Ionian seas. Travel guides have been advocating it as the place to go for the last few years, because it is so much cheaper than the most of its European neighbors and has so much charm.<\/p>\n

CNTraveler\u00a0is\u00a0selling\u00a0the food\u2014think, rosemary-scented lamb and blackened sea bass with tart mountain cheeses, for example, while\u00a0The Times\u00a0advocates trying the\u00a0tav\u00eb kosi\u00a0(baked chicken or lamb in yoghurt) where even with three courses and a bottle of wine, it can be difficult to spend more than $12.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph\u00a0advocates\u00a0its lively cafe culture in the capital Tirana, which is home to one fifth of its population. Wander the Ottoman villages, the historic sites, the National parks and Ceraunian Mountains famously mentioned in Lord Byron\u2019s poem, Childe Harold\u2019s Pilgrimage. He lovingly compared these mountain residents to the Scottish Highlanders only living in a better, Mediterranean climate.<\/p>\n
