What Are the Most Expensive Mediterranean Cities for a Holiday?

According to recent research conducted by financial experts at Gambling ‘N Go, the Mediterranean region boasts some of the priciest cities for a vacation. The study analyzed several factors, including the cost of flights from any London airport, a seven-week hotel stay, and a mid-range restaurant for two people, to determine the most expensive destinations in the area.

Most Expensive Cities

Topping the list of the most expensive Mediterranean cities for a holiday is Monte Carlo, Monaco, followed by Marseilles and Venice in second and third place, respectively. Each city was assigned a score out of 100, with the cities receiving the lowest scores being the most expensive.

Monte Carlo in Monaco has topped the list of the most expensive Mediterranean cities for a holiday, with a score of 26.4.

Nice, Cannes’ neighbour, ranks fourth on the list, with a score of 36.1.

Note from Gambling ‘N Go

According to a spokesperson from Gambling ‘N Go, there are many beautiful spots on the Mediterranean coast that offer both beach and city experiences for a perfect holiday. However, visitors may not know whether these destinations are within their budget.

“There are plenty of beautiful spots along the Mediterranean coast that make for the perfect holiday by offering both the beach for a day to soak up the sun rays and the city centre to explore the culture. However, while many of these places may be on your bucket list, you may be unaware of whether they are within your budget,” said a spokesperson from Gambling ‘N Go.

The spokesperson further added that by using these data, travellers could plan their trips by giving them an idea of the expenses they can expect and allowing them to consider their finances when planning a trip to one of these cities or choosing a more affordable alternative.
