A ferocious fare war between Ryanair and Wizz Air has taken off just as the tourism industry in the Balkans is blossoming. Four decades after Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics, Torvill and Dean have been back in town this week; they flew out yesterday afternoon, after performing their gold-winning ice dance to Ravel’s Bolero once again. Prices may not quite be at 1980s levels, but they are not far off.

Muscular mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for the Adriatic nation; many of the beaches are empty; and inland, your footsteps will echo in the narrow lanes of implausibly preserved medieval towns. More prosaically, summer flights from no fewer than eight UK airports to Tirana are on offer – on some routes for under £50 return. Half an hour from the airport, beachfront apartments in the resort of Durrës can be rented for less than £20 a night, and a full meal with drinks comes in at under £10. No charge for abundant Albanian hospitality. Closer to home, the usual money-saving rules apply. For the cheapest overseas holiday, if you live in the southern half of Britain and you have access to a car, pack everyone in and take a ferry to northern France.

Those who are fortunate enough to inhabit the north of England or Scotland can indulge in cross-border hopscotch to save on package holiday prices. Most Scottish schools break up at the end of June and go back in mid-August. Most north of England schools break up in the third week of July and go back in early September. So if you’re Scottish, in the first two weeks of July head south to Manchester or Newcastle to fly out, And if you’re English aim for Edinburgh, Glasgow or Prestwick in the second half of August.

My favourite resorts are Poiana Brasov in Romania and Pamporovo in Bulgaria. Neither nation has the soaring heights or variety of runs that the Alps can offer, and the lift infrastructure is hardly state-of-the-art. Conversely, though, prices for everything from lift passes to a hot chocolate at a mountainside chalet are far lower than in France, Switzerland or Italy.
