Travelers looking for the real Halloween travel deal--or a summer, fall or spring deal as well--might consider an Eastern Europe vacation for a splendid trip that offers all of the history, culture, and natural beauty of Western Europe at roughly a third to half the cost depending on the venues you choose.

This region is home to Transylvania, summer nights where midnight is light as day, medieval villages, and regional cuisines and wines that keep visitors coming back. Each of the following destinations is popular among tourists, yet surprisingly affordable. Even so, you can take even more of the price of a trip with Orbitz travel coupon for $50 off a 4 night stay or Travelocity hotel coupons, including one for $100 off.

Here are some highlights to a mostly overlooked and under-priced travel destination:

Autumn is a season that fills the senses. Visions of lush red, yellow, and orange tree leaves are everywhere. So is the scent of smoke trailing from chimneys of cozy homes--along with the cool air on breezy days and chilly nights...To many fall is a time of reflection and respite. To others, however, fall is a time of...well, food.

Fall is also traditionally the season of harvest--which means you can enjoy its luscious bounty for less. Stock up on squash, sweet potatoes and, of course, pumpkin--all rich in nutrients and low in price at this time of year. Starting with yummy Halloween candy, through Thanksgiving dinner and leftovers, all the way to winter holidays, autumn is a time for togetherness, laughter, fun times and delicious food!

There is nothing like an island vacation to relax, inspire, and refresh a weary traveler. The problem is that leaving the mainland often doubles or triples the price of a trip. Fortunately, even for island getaways, sometimes lesser known is less expensive--and yet just as splendid.

Next time you want the tranquility of an island retreat, checkout these islands off the US coast. You'll save about 30% to 50% compared to Caribbean packages or Hawaiian vacations--and that is just on transportation and accommodations.

The seafood, leisure activities, and shopping in these areas are also much more affordable--resulting in a trip well-worth the reduced price tag!
