New research about the cost of taking a holiday to Turkey has shown that holidays to the country may not be as cheap as you had hoped.
Following on from our recent blog article “Holidays to Turkey may not be as cheap as you think” new findings published by the Post Office have shown that Turkey could be becoming the most expensive in europe rather than the cheapest.
