Ryanair’s latest analysis shows that two countries dominate Polish bookings. The first one is Italy, chosen by 28 percent. people, and the second one Spain – 20 percent. There is an interesting disproportion between what we choose on our own and what we choose with travel agencies. When it comes to all-inclusive stays, the most popular destinations are Türkiye, Egypt and Greece.
We usually buy summer tickets to popular European gems on our own, but there is one common denominator. Greece, which ranks high in travel agencies and in this case Ryanair, takes a good place – it closes the holiday podium according to the Irish carrier – such flights are chosen by 9%. subjects.
The next positions are taken by: Croatia – 6%, Malta – 5%. and Sweden – 4 percent.
This tempts Poles in Italy, Spain and Greece
Those who have not yet visited the three countries mentioned above may wonder what attracts Poles there. At the beginning, it is worth noting that one of the reasons are airline tickets – often sold at lower prices. Sometimes you can get to Italy with hand luggage for less than PLN 100 one way. The same is true for other places.
Italy, which enjoys the first place, is a paradise for fans of the sun, delicious cuisine and world monuments. Ryanair’s most popular destinations are Rome, Venice, Milan and Bari. But at the same time Catania in Sicily.
Tourists attracted to Spain include, among others: long beaches and unique resorts. In this case, Barcelona, Valencia and Alicante dominate.

The most popular are Crete, Corfu, Thessaloniki and Athens, offering a wide range of attractions.
