TOP 20  DESTINATIONS: 5 - 1

5. GREEK ISLANDS – 2,770,000

Coming in at 5 it’s the Greek Islands.  And as far as we're concerned they're cheap and cheerful.  Our favourite is Corfu – followed by Crete, then Rhodes.

4. BALEARICS - 3,811,000

It's official.  Brits simply can't get enough of the Balearics.  Whether it's the raves in Ibiza, the waves of Minorca or simply the miles of sand in Majorca, nearly 4 million of us had our holidays here last summer.

Majorca's the most popular of the lot - the place is heaving with us!  During the summer months, Five Brits arrive there every single minute.

3. THE CANARIES – 4,034,000

The Canary Islands,all 7 of them. Now Lanzarote might be the hottest and Fuerteventura might be where the action is, but it’s Tenerife – the time share capital of the world that wins with us everytime.

2. THE COSTAS – 5,877,000

There may well be four Costas, but as with our typical adventurous spirit, there are really only two that count.

The most popular is the Costa del Sol - let's just say Toerremolinos.

But by far the most popular single destination is in the Costa Blanca – It’s Benidorm. The Big Daddy.  Packed with thousands of Brits, basting themselves on the beach.

1. DEVON & CORNWALL- 6,300,000

Last year more than six million of us braved the M5, hours of traffic and the Moto Service Station outside Exeter en route to our Number One favourite destination - Devon and Cornwall. 

They've got the lot. They're not just about sun, sea and sand - they're about memories.  Our own. Of a simpler time, when we went crabbing, fishing in rock pools and buried Auntie Betty up to her neck in sand.  And it's all still there.  It hasn't changed.  No wonder we love it so much.
