Holidays in Turkey 2021
Although many Russians have already discovered Turkey, this country continues to attract thousands of our compatriots every year. Rest in Turkey is available to people of different incomes, and at the same time it is extremely comfortable. Clean beaches, azure sea, hotels with rooms for every taste – all this allows you to completely relax and enjoy your vacation. But the most complete rest is provided by tours to Turkey on an all-inclusive basis.
Which resort to choose
Turkey has several world-famous resort places. Which one you choose depends on your preferences. Some people prefer noisy and crowded southern cities in order to “look at others and show themselves.” Others are looking for an opportunity to spend their holidays in peace and solitude. Still others love some particular type of entertainment – for example, diving, or sailing on a yacht. But in Turkey, everyone can find what he is looking for.
Antalya
On the Mediterranean coast is one of the country's most popular resort towns – Antalya. The warm season here lasts 8-9 months a year. Rest can be very different: swimming in the sea and bliss on wide sandy beaches, evenings at incendiary discos, sightseeing, among which there are many ancient monuments, including the Museum of Archeology.
Kemer
Another well-known resort of Kemer is much quieter. The beaches here are pebbly, which is preferable for many tourists. In the vicinity there are many coniferous plants that give the air a unique aroma. The local cuisine is famous for its delicious seafood dishes. In addition, about 200 yachts are regularly moored here, which will allow guests to take walks in the Mediterranean Sea.
Alanya
Alanya, without exaggeration, can be called a very green city, despite the hot climate of Turkey. The beaches here are sandy, and the entrance to the sea is gentle, which makes this place ideal for families with kids. A large number of local attractions, including water ones, are also designed for children.
Side
Side is known for its history dating back many hundreds of years. But today this resort is perfect for young people. Modern hotels designed for different income levels, discos, numerous excursions for outdoor enthusiasts – all this brings Side a well-deserved fame.
Bodrum
If the cities mentioned above belong to the resorts of the Mediterranean Sea, then Marmaris and Bodrum overlook the shores of the Aegean Sea. From Bodrum, first of all, young people will be delighted. Here you can enjoy all the beauties of the underwater world by diving. Outdoor enthusiasts may prefer surfing or sailing. And those who cannot imagine rest without a vibrant nightlife will be met by the amazing Halikarnas disco. It is especially worth mentioning that it is near Bodrum that one of the “seven wonders of the world” is located – the tomb of King Mausol.
Marmaris
Marmaris is intended rather for those who love privacy. There is a beautiful long embankment, and many quiet bays where no one will disturb your peace. However, there are enough places for entertainment. Moreover, cafes and discos are located on the very shore of the sea, so while relaxing, you can admire the beautiful views.
Benefits of an all-inclusive holiday
The all-inclusive system, or as it is referred to in tourist brochures – all inclusive – is extremely convenient. First, it frees you from any kind of hassle. From the moment the ticket is paid, you can only focus on the rest. You no longer have to worry about whether you took enough money with you. Even if you have a purely symbolic amount in your pocket – for the notorious souvenir magnets – you will not have to experience a lack of anything.
Secondly, you will not need to look for a cafe, the dishes in which you will like. All inclusive meals include buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The choice in restaurants is so rich that the only danger that awaits guests of the resort is to gain a few extra pounds. Moreover, hotels operating under this program are usually famous for their cuisine. Thirdly, by choosing “all inclusive“, you get unlimited access to all the entertainment that the hotel has to offer. These are animation services for adults and children. Possibility to use swimming pools, fitness centers, sports grounds, baths and saunas. In a word, even if you do not go on excursions, you will not be bored. Fourth is comfort. As a rule, hotels offering all inclusive, located in close proximity to the sea, which is convenient for families with children and the elderly. Also, there are no strangers on the territory, and you are guaranteed safety in a foreign country. And among the hotel staff there are always those who are able to communicate in Russian.
Fifth, although the package may cost a little more, when you get home, you will be surprised to find that you have saved money. I didn't have to spend money on cafes, bars, pay for sweets, local fruits. In a word, rest will bring only positive emotions.
When to go on vacation to Turkey
Turkey will find something to please its guests – at any time of the year. In winter, lovers of skiing willingly come here, who do not want to overpay for a vacation in Switzerland. After all, Turkish routes are equipped no less worthy, and prices are several orders of magnitude lower than in Europe.
You can see the sights of the country all year round. Ancient Istanbul seems like a revived fairy tale to tourists. And numerous mosques, fortresses, bridges – the tourists' cameras click without a break! In Turkey, almost every stone breathes history.
But for most tourists, this country is associated with a beach holiday. You should know that only people who do not have health problems should come here in July or August. These months are hot. Of course, every room in the hotel is equipped with a split system, the water in the sea and pools is refreshing, and the staff is always ready to offer you ice cream and soft drinks. But you still want to take a walk or go on an excursion. Young people endure dry and hot weather without difficulty. Elderly people should choose other months to rest. The ski season ends in early March, and at the end of April the sea warms up to such a temperature that you can swim: 18-19 degrees. In addition, the water in the pools is heated at this time. The most comfortable for people of middle and older years: May and the “velvet season” – September and October. At this time, the water in the sea is warm – 25 C, and there is no sweltering heat. One has only to remember that in the middle of autumn the differences between day and night air temperatures are quite noticeable. Therefore, you should take a sweater or raincoat with you.
Vacation with children
When choosing a place where it is best to come with a child, you should pay attention to a number of points. First of all, on the hotel website you need to see how things are with the infrastructure for children. A swimming pool, animators, equipped playgrounds, special dishes on the menu – all this will play an important role in how your vacation will go.
If the baby is still very small, it is desirable that the road from the airport to the hotel does not take too much time. And here again, we can recommend the all-inclusive system, namely, hotels that have been assigned the 5-star category. Firstly, they are located a stone's throw from the sea, they have their own equipped beaches and shady green parks, where the child will not suffer from the heat. Secondly, nutrition in the “fives” is a guarantee that the baby will receive high-quality food on time, and gastric ailments will not threaten him. Another point – choose “family” hotels, without noisy night discos, so that nothing disturbs the sleep of a little man.
