How to save money on a trip to Turkey?

Turkey is an interesting country with centuries of history and ancient traditions. Today this sunny country is one of the favorite places of rest for many tourists, because the local opportunities for entertainment and beach holidays are truly limitless. However, unfortunately, not every one of us can afford to vacation abroad. But, as they say, dreams come true, so the main thing is to strongly want and you will succeed! In addition, you can take advantage of some ways that will allow you to have a great rest in Turkey and at the same time not to cause serious damage to the family budget.


How can you save money on a trip to Turkey?

Savings on voucher

  1. To begin with, it is worth paying attention to the burning tours and last-minute tours , the purchase prices of which can be reduced by 20-25%. This happens in the case when the tour term is approaching, and the travel company has a few unsold seats. The downside to a burning holiday for a tourist is that there may not be enough time at all, as the flight can be scheduled in the next couple of days from the date of purchase. And this is not always convenient. So, to buy a burning ticket, you must be ready for any circumstances. In addition, you will have to periodically call the travel agencies or monitor the information on their websites so as not to miss new offers.
  2. You can also go to Turkey in the so-called "dead season" - the period from November to December, when prices for accommodation in hotels noticeably reduced. This is more suitable for those who do not like hot weather and travels to Turkey more for excursions. However, it is worth noting that although the summer season ends at the end of September, in November it is still possible to swim in the sea or, alternatively, in the hotel pool.
  3. Essentially reduces the cost of a voucher choice of an inexpensive hotel. Quite comfortable conditions for living there and in hotels with 4 or 3 stars.
  4. There is another way to fly to Turkey cheaper - do not buy a ticket from the tour operator, and go on your own, having found the accommodation in Turkey beforehand. This, of course, is a more risky option and not everyone is going to decide that, but believe me, so you can have a great rest, too. In addition, to rent accommodation from local residents via the Internet will not be difficult.

So, one way or another you flew to Turkey and here too you can reduce your expenses. By the way, when you go to this country, you should stock yourself with dollars, since you will lose a lot on the exchange of the euro, and the local people will not disdain and will give you a change with a dollar bill, though most likely in national currency, in lire.

Saving on excursions

As a rule, immediately upon arrival in the hotel you are attacked by a representative of the tour operator, who will start offering you many additional trips and walks. Usually these excursions can be purchased much cheaper on the street with local travel agencies, and some excursions in general can be organized independently. To make a walk on the yacht, do not go to the agency, and immediately go to the pier. There, Turkish sailors will be waiting for you, who, for a minimal fee, will be ready to skate for you all day, including lunch and fishing. But, as for visiting sights, then it is better to contact the tour operator, because without it you will spend much more, and still you will not understand anything.

Saving on purchases

First and foremost, it is worth noting that it is worthwhile to make purchases in large cities, where trade is not focused solely on tourists. In addition, bargaining is actively welcomed here, which is not at all impeded by ignorance of the language, so do not forget to bargain and you will be able to pay 30% less. However, remember that bargaining is not at all relevant in large supermarkets, as well as in pharmacies.
