Turkey is a beautiful country located on the Mediterranean Sea and stretched between the continents of Europe and Asia. Many people take holidays to Turkey to enjoy the beautiful beaches, delicious local cuisine, sunny climate, and fascinating culture. This beautiful destination holds many fascinating historical sites and luxurious hotels and resorts that are perfect whether you want an exciting adventure or a relaxing retreat. 

Turkey holidays can be much more affordable than you might imagine, as there are many budget airlines that offer cheap flights to Turkey throughout the year. If you are a savvy traveller and you can save money in other ways as well, you can go on holidays to Turkey without having to spend a lot of money.

 

Here are some more ideas of how you can save money in Turkey:

• Is an all-inclusive resort really cheaper? When a three course meal in a traditional restaurant in Turkey can cost only 10 Euros per person, it might be just as affordable to book your own hotel. 

• If you want an even cheaper meal, you can find simple and delicious kebabs and soups in the shops where the locals eat for only 5 Euros. 

• You don’t necessarily have to rent a car during your holidays in Turkey, because there are many taxis which will take you where you need to go for a small price. There are also the Dolmus minibuses which have very cheap fares. 

• If you are going to be travelling by train in Turkey, you can buy a Tren Tur card which will give you a month of unlimited rail travel on ay Turkish train. This is a much cheaper option than purchasing one-zone Inter-rail tickets.

• If you are in one of the cities such as Istanbul, consider renting a bike to explore on your Turkey holidays. Renting a bicycle is a cheap way to get around, and you will get to see more of the city. 

• When booking accommodation, look for guesthouses or “pensions” which are cheaper than hotels. 

• Camping is another great way to save money on your holidays in Turkey. There are many gorgeous camping sites throughout the country and the weather is warm enough to make sleeping outdoors a pleasure. 

• Don’t use your mobile phone while you are in Turkey, as you will spend a lot more on calls and texts there because roaming charges are not capped. 

• Buy bottled water from the supermarkets, as it will be cheaper there than at the kiosks near the beaches and museums. Also, water is served for free on intercity buses in tiny plastic cups. 

If you can find cheap flights to Turkey and find lots of other ways to save money while you are there, a trip to this beautiful country can be a very affordable option. It’s about time to start booking your budget Turkey holiday!
