Good value self catering holiday destination

cheap holidays poland Poland is the ideal good value holiday destination. Self-catering accommodation is very reasonably priced, eating out is inexpensive, beer is very cheap, public transport is dirt cheap, skiing and ski hire much cheaper than most destinations, and participation in tourist activities is inexpensive compared to prices in the UK or USA.

The differential between basic and luxury is much lower in Poland, so that most people can indulge a little without it breaking the bank. Things will not stay the same for ever, so do consider visiting this lovely unspoilt country in the near future, before the Euro arrives and prices rise.

Your money will stretch a long way in Poland and enable you to have an excellent holiday at a much lower cost than back home in Britain, Ireland or America.
