A poll of 2000 by Direct Traveller revealed what is a perfect holiday for British holiday makers.
A 14 day trip to Europe in 27 degree heat with the family is the perfect holiday, according to British holidaymakers. A new study of 2,000 people has revealed the formula for a great break – and shows two weeks in July, enjoying at least nine hours of sunshine a day is just the ticket.

The dream trip will start with a maximum five hour flight, and continue with a 22 journey mile journey in a hire car to the hotel. The accommodation will have direct access to the beach, pools for all the family, and will be set in a peaceful and tranquil area.

And Brits are prepared to fork out a staggering £1,539.83 PER PERSON for the privilege. But only 51 per cent of people have been on their perfect holiday already.

A spokesman for Directtraveller.com, which conducted the research, said: “British holidaymakers prefer to step out of the UK for their perfect holiday, as it feels more like a real break from the daily grind.

“But we don’t like going too far – a five hour flight is all we want, and guarantees you can’t go much further than Europe.

“The results show only one in 10 of those polled would want to travel to the Far East, while a measly four per cent considers Africa a desirable destination.

“The other notable point is the Brits don’t want a big hustle and bustle on holiday, for a truly relaxing time they prefer to stay away from the big lively resorts.”

The poll shows 81 per cent of Brits would want to go abroad for their perfect holiday, and 70 per cent would like to get there by plane.

Ideally, once settled into the accommodation, the average holidaymaker would then love to spend at least four of the 14 days lounging by the pool getting a tan. A further four days would be spent on the beach, soaking up the sun and occasionally participating in water-sports or swimming in the sea.

Another four days would be spent on day trips – sightseeing and experiencing the local culture and tourist destinations.
And a couple of days would be dedicated to shopping in the local markets and shopping malls, stocking up on fake designer goods, gifts, clothes and ornaments.

More than four in five consider how far their holiday money will go when choosing their destination.

But this perfect holiday comes at a cost – as folk would be prepared to pay £907.57 per person for flights and accommodation, and a further £632.26 for spending money.
This means the average family of four would need to save at least £6,159.32 for the holiday of their dreams.

The spokesman for Directtraveller.com stated: “ North Cyprus has the elements for a perfect holiday. We want to be with our family and we want guaranteed sunshine. “We also want to have the chance for sightseeing and shopping as well as the beach and the pool. “Finally, we balance being active with finding enough time to chill out so we are relaxed and refreshed by the end of it all. “We are delighted that North Cyprus is such a great match for the perfect holiday but also at a lower cost than the average family cost, due to North Cyprus not being in the euro.”
