This year’s top mini-break destinations have been named<\/p>\n

Looking for a mini-break? This year’s most popular spots have been unveiled by the travel team at Thomas Cook. While an iconic Spanish resort has claimed the top spot for the second year in a row, Turkey has soared in popularity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thomas Cook has seen a rise in families and older travellers heading away for a short break of under five days, with many Brits looking to escape the UK for a mini-break.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emma King, Thomas Cook\u2019s head of product, said: \u201cWhile Covid restrictions last year may have played some part in people\u2019s decision-making, Turkey and Salou offer great value for families and couples looking for quick getaways in the sun.<\/p>\n

“We can see this year that people have broadened their horizons and value for money has been a priority for many of our customers, so while the Canaries are perfect for year-round sun, other areas have found renewed popularity because they are a little easier on the wallet.\u201d<\/p>\n

So where are this year’s leading destinations?\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Benidorm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love it or hate it, Benidorm is a firm British favourite. Millions of Britons travel to the Spanish resort every year and it’s even been named the most British place in Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spain’s first ever package holiday resort, the destination is known for its nightlife and 2km long Levante Beach. According to the WHO, the Costa Blanca has one of Europe’s healthiest climates so what are you waiting for?\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Milatos, Crete<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dreaming of an island escape? It’s no surprise to see gorgeous Milatos on Crete’s northern coast near the top of the hotlist. Tourists can unwind on one of the village’s gorgeous beaches or explore its history on a tour of Milatos Cave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While in Crete don’t forget to sample a traditional moussaka or kalitsounia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Albufeira<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most beautiful destination in Portugal, Albufeira sits on the country’s Algarve coastline. The former fishing village has grown into a major holiday destination. Join a dolphin watching trip to spot some of the area’s wildlife or unwind on Falesia beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Albufeira also has a busy nightlife scene so it’s a great choice for party loving Britons.<\/p>\n
