The euro is currently very weak against the pound, and this, combined with depressed property prices, has given rise to some great opportunities to pick up bargains in the eurozone.
"Concerns about the stabilities of Eurozone economies has helped the pound strengthen against the euro," says Sarah Norman from www.aplaceinthesun.com.
"With prices in many destinations falling, this is very much a buyer's market for Brits. Now is the time to take advantage of exchange rates and bag yourself a bargain."
Here we pick out a selection of beautiful homes you can buy in the eurozone and surrounding area for around the £500,000 mark.
A Place in the Sun Live takes place at NEC Birmingham on 28-30 September and MSN Money users get free tickets.

The pound is low against the euro. Yes it has picked up some during the past year or so, but before dear Gordon became the worst chancellor this country ever had, the pound was over 1.5 to the euro. the euro zone is supposed to be in free fall but still the pound is nowhere near its value of 10 years ago.
