How much will Mallorca cost in 2023? Reporter Sven Kroll is looking for answers and is spending a week on holiday on the island (the extended version with 15 minutes more Mallorca can be found in the ARD Mediathek: https://1.ard.de/was-kostet-mallorca-... ). His challenge: can he get a good, varied holiday including flight, hotel, excursions and sights for under 1000 euros? And how big are the price differences between high and low season? Or is a package holiday worth it? Mallorca is the Germans' favourite island. Around four million tourists from Germany alone are expected every year. But the energy crisis and high inflation are not stopping at Mallorca either. The tourism industry is predicting a sharp rise in prices for flights, hotels and restaurants on the Balearic island - holidays on Mallorca will become up to 33 percent more expensive, it is feared. 00:00 Intro 02:10 Flight & Hotel 04:22 The Playa de Palma 06:20 By bike to Palma de Mallorca 08:39 Out and about in the city 11:33 Ride on the historic “Red Blitz” train to Sóller 14:49 Hiking through the orange plantations 17:27 Fornalutx, the most beautiful mountain village in Mallorca 20:43 By rental car to Porto Cristo to the Dragon's Cave 25:01 Mallorca's dream beaches 28:10 Financial review & Outro Sven Kroll tests a 4-star hotel with half board right on the beach.

Sven is always on the lookout for varied activities and good value for money. How much does an overnight stay cost in the interior of the island? And how crowded are the picturesque bays that Mallorca is so famous for? Do you like our channel?
