Holidaymakers who book flights to Antalya in Turkey have the greatest savings potential compared to 2023, as the travel search engine
Kayak
found with regard to flight searches - prices have fallen by 22 percent.
This is followed by Larnaca in Cyprus with a price drop of 20 percent.
Flights to Egypt have also become 16 percent cheaper.
The latter may be due to the fact that many travelers are unsettled by the situation in Israel, which borders Egypt, and the attacks by Houthi rebels on ships in the Red Sea.
Package holidays to Hurghada are also six percent cheaper in summer, as the booking portal
HolidayCheck
has found.
The following travel destinations have also become cheaper compared to 2023:
Izmir, Türkiye: -15 percent
Victoria, Seychelles: -14 percent
Rome, Italy: -13 percent
Marrakech, Morocco: -13 percent
