There are many countries that because of various reasons, it's convenient to spend an holiday in 2011; maybe because of the favourable euro exchange or the financial crisis in those countries.
1 PORTUGAL
It's easy to reach by low coast companies.
There you eat well (the fish is fabolous), you drink well (Porto and Ginjinha, to give two examples) and you spend little.
As a matter of fact Portugal is not only Lisbon, Porto and Algarve: the best thing is to travel across it by car from north to south, stopping on the little towns on the coast, like Sintra and Cascais, or on those on the intern, like Obidos and Coimbra.
2 IRELAND
The evergreen Ireland is no more the country that grows at high rates and certainly Dublin can't compare with London for the cost of life.
Also here the best thing is to rent a car (watchout..the driving is on the left!) and do a tour of all the island to soak in the most uncontaminated nature.
The Cliffs of Moher, the places of James Joyce and the breweries are all to see.
3 LITHUANIA
Lithuania, as well as being cheap, it's to see for three reasons: the gorgeous girls, Frank Zappa and...the desert!
In Lithuania there is a long strip of sand hills.. infact Lithuania is even called the Sahara of the Baltic.
4 ALBANIA
Albania could be the perfect destination for 2011 summer: infact it was included at the first place for the top 2011 destinations by Lonely Planet, the bible of indipendent travellers.
It has little of tourism (a wonderful thing) and many places to discover: what do you want for more?... oh yes, we have forgotten the cusine!..a mix of greek and turk one, with some italian influence.
5 CYPRUS
The Republic of Cyprus it's diveded on two: the southern part with a greek majority, it's the place where many mediterranean cruises stop; the northern part with a turk majority that is less touristy.
You can't go to Varosha, that in the 70s was the Vip beach (Liz Taylor, Richard Burton, Brigitte Bardot) because by now it's a ghost city; but you can take a tour in Kyrenia, that it's worthwhile.. it's like Portofino or Saint Tropez.
6 ROMANIA
If we talk about Romania, suddenly Count Dracula comes to mind.
Infact it's impossible to avoid the Dracula mith, also because many medieval towns echo with its steps and its deeds.
Thanks to low cost companies it's not a problem to arrive there.
If then you want a less touristy itinerary, you can visit the Bucovina monasteries, declared World Heritage Site by Unesco.
