Those looking for cheap travel to Europe need look no further than Greece this year. Economic troubles have hit the country hard, but that is translating into financial breaks for the savvy traveler. With so much history and culture to offer, Greece ranks as a top destination in terms of value for the money.

Luxury travel options in Greece abound, especially at the upscale island resorts, but budget travelers will want to focus on the many small, family owned establishments to find the best food and lodging deals. You should also be on the lookout for special Internet rates when booking accommodations. Sightseeing in Greece can be cheap too, since many amazing ancient monuments and archaeological sites can be seen for free or for under $10. Most of the paid sites have some free days as well.

Thanks to a strong "loonie", Canadians are enjoying unprecedented cheap travel options worldwide. From tropical getaways to international adventures, all are more affordable this summer as the soaring value of the loonie against the US dollar and euro make travel to these regions a great value.

To secure the best travel deals this summer, Canadian travelers should be flexible and consider traveling to countries where they'll have the most buying power, including the US, Turkey and Brazil. Booking last minute deals, standby flights and traveling midweek can all help to keep vacation costs within budget. Also, reviewing your travel reward options can ensure that you're getting the most out of your credit card reward programs. Taking the time to budget on big ticket vacation items like flights can save a lot, but the little costs like airport transportation, taxis and souvenirs can also add up fast so be sure to set budgets for these as well.
