Greece's economic woes have led to a surge in bookings for its main islands as holidaymakers try to grab bargain breaks, one agency claimed this week.
Directline Holidays said bookings for Corfu were up 21% in recent weeks while Rhodes has attracted a 5% increase.
Bookings for Cyprus were up 28% in July, although Majorca remains the favourite destination, closely followed by Dalaman in Turkey and Tenerife in third place, said Directline.
CEO, Maria Whiteman said: "The increased popularity of the Greek islands is due to recent economic events enabling competitive pricing."
