Your ever-expanding vacation wish list may be a strain on your finances, but there are many places where you'll get more bang for your money. From Greece to South Africa, here are 5 cheap vacation destinations you can visit without breaking the bank.
1. South Africa - One of the best things about visiting South Africa is that you can go on a safari without breaking the bank.

Here are some affordable places to stay in South Africa. Also check out Planet ware.
2. Cotonou - The busy port city of Cotonou in Benin, West Africa, welcomes visitors with a 49-acre (20-hectare) market, unique art galleries, and outstanding architecture. It is the only town on stilts in the world and the cradle of the ancient religion of Vodun. Cotonou, Benin's de facto capital city, is the seat of government and the country's commercial hub, with coastline excursions through beautiful tropical landscape leading to beach resorts that give a peaceful respite.

4. Mexico - You'd be astonished to learn that vacationing in Mexico is as inexpensive as it gets. Mexico is a tropical treasure trove, with spectacular beaches, fascinating ruins, enticing culture, lively towns bursting with colonial splendor, and fiercely delectable food. Mexico is a vacation with something for everyone. Here are 10 things you can do in Mexico.
5. Ghana - Ghana is an ideal destination for experiencing the bustling coastal cities and the vibrant food and creative sectors. Ghanaians are well-known for their variation of jollof rice (a rice dish that is popular throughout West Africa). However, mention this to any Nigerian, and they would argue fiercely that Nigerian Jollof is superior. It is abundant in natural resources as well as cultural riches. It is Africa's second-largest cocoa and gold producer (which is why it was called Gold Coast). It also has a lot of diamonds and oil. Here are the top 10 tourist sites in Ghana
