Sunny Cyprus and the idyllic beach resort of Cancun…here are the cheapest places to holiday this winter

WITH the temperature set to stay low in Britain for the foreseeable future, the New Year could be the perfect time to book a holiday.

A survey has found that these destinations are where you'll bag the best bargain this winter.

According to the Post Office Travel Money, Paphos, Cyprus is the resort to head for.

A week-long package holiday in the joint 2017 European Capital of Culture is only £339 per person, including evening meals and drinks.

You'll be able to explore both the modern harbour city and historic ancient ruins.

The dreamy beach destination is an incredible 19% cheaper than similar getaways in the Canary Islands.

Lanzarote will set you back £416 and Tenerife, £417.

European holidays won't feel quite as pricey at the moment, because the pound has increased by more than 6% against the euro since November 2.

When it came to long-haul travel, the iconic US city of Orlando came top.

A package holiday to the City that is home to Disney World will currently only set UK travellers back £752.

For those in need of some sun, sand and sea on a budget, Cancun in Mexico is the place to be.

Due to the fact that the Mexican peso is much weaker against the pound than 12 months ago, a trip to the idyllic resort will only cost you £815.

The survey's most expensive locations were Montego Bar, Jamaica, which will cost you £1,288 and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, at £1,212.
