Paphos 'great value' says travel report

Meanwhile, a rebound in the strength of the pound against the Turkish lira has given families almost 14% more travel cash in their pockets compared with last May, making prices in the Turkish resort lower than a year ago.

Andrew Brown, of Post Office Travel Money, said: "At the beginning of the year the Turkish lira was the only European currency that was stronger than sterling. Now the position has reversed and the pound has powered ahead and gained over 17% in value against the lira since January.”
