Now no one can tell you with 100% certainty. But, I think that for two you will not fit into this money. Is it to look for something burning in 3 *. Monitor the prices yourself - this year they change several times a day. It is also possible to catch a good last minute offer with a flight from Kyiv. But the budget is 400-500 dollars. 2 even for October is too small to count on something +- decent. Unfortunately, pricing also depends on the political situation. What we have, what in the Russian Federation, everything is interconnected. Therefore, no one will tell you about prices in a month and a half or 2 months. Now you can find Egypt for December on your budget by early booking. For example, today there are options for 7 nights in 5 * budget hotels from $ 280. per person on 20.12 For Turkey so far in the budget 500-600 dollars. there is nothing close for two

And if we take the middle of October with a "very hot" flight? So that would be a day or two before departure. Tell me with the area, they have never been to Turkey.

dominicana for young people it will be more interesting in the Kemer center after all, and not in a country village hotel
What will happen in terms of prices, I can not predict. At the moment, at the beginning of October in Kemer there are offers from 550 USD for 6 nights for 2. But these are all hotels lower than mediocre ones (where there has been no repair for 10 or more years) and with many additional paid features in many. For this money ($550-600 for 6 nights for 2), for reference, here are the only options in Kemer center so far:
Konar & Doruk Hotel 3*;
Himeros Life Hotel (Ex. Magic Hotel) 4 * (second line with a microscopic beach 900 m from the hotel and terrible service);
Sefikbey Hotel Kemer
Ares City (Ex.kami Hotel) 3* (2nd line, no own beach, city beach 400 m)
Britannia Hotel & Villas
All these are hotels where you would not want to go yourself, so as not to spoil even the first impression of Turkey. Is it possible to abstract from hotels and accept what you eat only to contemplate nature, walk around the city and swim in the sea.

Why do you need this Turkey?!? Go to Abkhazia, to Gagra. Yes, they are stuck in the USSR, they are far from service. But there are many hotels and private cottages with excellent service and cuisine. But what kind of nature is there, what a clean and warm sea. .And the sea is warmer and the weather is comfortable. We 4 families rented a cottage at the foot of the Gagra Range overlooking the sea. Each room has a shower, toilet, hairdryer, TV, bar fridge, air conditioning. In September 16,500 rubles. Gorgeous place!!! Beauty! Sea! Mountains! We also don’t need parties, we just needed peace and quiet and we got it. We swore we didn’t need the Turkish coast! For now, we are planning to go there. Just look in youtobe for example, "Abkhazia 2016". You will see all the beauty there. Reviews of vacationers vary, but who goes for what, as well as everywhere else. And what kind of excursions are there, what is worth only about Ritsa ..... just great !!! Go and you will definitely not regret it. Have a good choice and rest.

September, October is better in Side, Alanya. It is a little warmer there than in the Kemer zone. And the sun sets later. For hotels, as mentioned above, you will look closer to your dates.

Three or four years ago, it was still possible to fit into your budget. But at the current dollar rate, it is unlikely. The lion's share of the tour package is occupied by the flight. In your case, this is almost the entire budget. There is practically nothing left for rest. You understand what kind of service you can get for "five kopecks".

They made fun of "ganibals". Let's assume this is a typo. In the style of our previous president, who is now in Rostov. Or is it contagious?
Outside of politics, unfortunately, nothing happens. Especially tourism. Look at the geography of outbound tourism from your country. She has changed drastically in a year. But these are the consequences of political events. (This is not about politics, this is about tourism).
Considering the peculiarity of the location and status of Abkhazia, it is simply inconvenient for Ukrainians to get there (nothing travels and does not go from us) and there are no advantages of resting there for us either. Cheapness on the spot is offset by the high cost and inconvenience of the trip. And we can get to the same subtropical palm trees and the sea comfortably and inexpensively in a 2.5 hour flight.

Barmalei898, It's not even about politics at all, but about banal practicality. How can a Ukrainian get there? Why does he need such difficulties? For the sake of Abkhazia? I was there at the time. when it was not yet an unrecognized republic. And I agree that it is very beautiful. But now to go to Abkhazia from Ukraine? This is nonsense. Airplanes fly to Georgia, you can fly to Batumi without any problems. How about in Abkhazia? And most importantly, why? If you want extreme sports, then it’s easier on the South Coast. And if you want a normal human rest without unnecessary difficulties invented by yourself, on a plane and after 2.5 hours you are in Greece, Turkey, Montenegro. The last option is in Albania. You sit and sip your wine, only have a bite of the caught dorado from the fish farm and watch the neighboring island. Corfu on the other side :)

I'm willing to bet. September is definitely good in any region of Turkey. In October, I would not go to Marmaris, Bodrum (due to windiness, it is uncomfortable to get out of the water). I also rested in the Fethiye area in October, it was great!
October is good on the whole Antalya coast. And if it rains (and, as a rule, these are short-term thunderstorms), then they are possible in Alanya and Kemer with the same degree of probability. The mountains of Kemer attract me personally more than the "steppe" of Alanya or Side. Yes, and storms in the Alanya region can be more frequent and stronger than in Kemer. But it is, digression. How lucky with the weather, no one has yet been able to agree with the heavenly office.))
September and October are great months to visit. True, at the end of October (and somewhere in the middle), animation begins to collapse, piers and awnings are dismantled, but such manipulations usually do not interfere with a relaxing holiday.
PS: last year we left Kemer on October 15, the pools were already cold (for me), and the water in the sea was +28!

dominicana In your case, you need to wait until mid-September (or maybe early October), and take the hotel that suits the budget / service ratio, regardless of the region, at the same time you will collect some money. Everywhere has its pros and cons. This year, unfortunately, is not very stable. If earlier in March it was possible to easily take a hotel for October in the Republic of Belarus, now many TOs do not even set prices for October. In any case, there is no usual choice. ((And what will happen next is unknown.

Olgaolga153, we are talking about the end of September and the beginning of October. It's pointless to argue about the weather. But still, the side of Alanya is considered a little warmer. I can only bet on the time of sunset. In the middle of June, exactly at 19-00, it falls behind the mountains (for the sake of fun, they even filmed it on video), and in part of Side-Alanya they left the beach closer to 20 and the sun was still there. In autumn, I think this is an important factor. After 13-14 times in Turkey this year (mid-June) I observed a completely non-sunny day, even with rain, for the first time. And in Kyiv in August + 14 ....... after 38 ... so there is no time for arguing about the weather))

As for Abkhazia, I agree with musja7, they answered very politically correct. It is necessary to organize group tours there for the residents of Donetsk-Lugansk, so that they can see what a bright future awaits them after reuniting with the great and mighty.

Belarusian numbers are now all over the CIS - they live, work and relax. We even have transfers from Minsk to Kyiv airport.
Ukrainian numbers in Abkhazia from a well-known part of the territory of Ukraine. They also want to rest. And restrictions on movement have become significant. Now they even travel to the Crimea across the territory of the Russian Federation through a ferry.
Here are the latest reviews about Abkhazia. Very indicative. There is also a comparison with Turkey.

Olgaolga153, you are absolutely right about the prices. They write above that it is not necessary to drag in politics, but, alas, it has had a great influence on the tourism business in recent years. It's banal: Putin and Erdogan met - that's it, the next day a number of positions soared up in price for the fall. And they are waiting. They will open a charter program for the Russian Federation for the fall - prices will be kept. They will not open - prices for the second half of September may go down a little + half of the hotels will simply close the season in September. Because it would not make sense for them to work in October at 20-30% load. Therefore, they wait and do not give prices. Also with airlines. For example, at the beginning of the season, we opened a bunch of charters to Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus. In July, flights here were actually only left from Kyiv. Because, for example, people from Western Ukraine travel to Albania, Bulgaria by 80% by car - and it is cheaper and more convenient for a number of reasons. In Turkey for the fall, except for Kyiv, they may not leave air charters to Dalaman. Because this direction is less popular

Of the hotels mentioned here, last year I was in Himeros Life Hotel (Ex. Magic Hotel) 4 *. It all depends on the management of the hotel and the responsibility of other staff. Quite normal 3 *, but certainly not 4 *. I was going to another country. I had to reorganize in the agency. I took a ticket the day before departure, then I read the reviews and was horrified. I called the hotel and let them know. that if everything is so terrible, I will not settle. In fact, everything turned out much better. At the time of my arrival, the hotel was almost full. Dinners are indoors. It was tight. But then the number of people decreased. Breakfasts, afternoon snacks and dinners - in the open air. If there were not enough sweets such as pancakes at breakfast, you can loudly but politely report this. To the delight of other tourists, they will bake more. You can go to the free pebble city beach, there are free sun loungers there. For a fee, you can go to any beach, not only to the sandy Moonlight. The cost of a deck chair with an umbrella is $ 1-3 per day. Bargain.

If you are considering only Turkey and the budget is limited, then for a young couple - Kemer. Not villages around. Kemer is a city where everyone can arrange a holiday to their liking, whether you like parties, prefer outdoor activities or a relaxing holiday. In whatever hotel, if the beach is for an additional fee, choose any beach. For money you are welcome everywhere. In Moonlight - sand. On other beaches - pebbles. Do not rush to take excursions from the hotel guide. In agencies - 2 times cheaper. If you take it on a pleasure yacht. then on this yacht, with the same service, there will be tourists who took a tour for $ 30 from the guide, and for $ 15 from the agency. If in the evening you are invited to the gazebo for a cup of coffee, ask what the final bill will be. For a cup of coffee for 2-3 dollars in Moonlight, they can set $ 30. since renting a gazebo also costs money.
And. as already advised here - monitor prices on the websites of tour operators at 11 hours and at 4 in the afternoon. And with a ready-made offer, go to the agency.

Grand Viking 4 * in Kemer is an excellent hotel for little money. Inexpensive, because from the hotel to the beach 20 min. on foot. But this is not a problem, because. There is a shuttle bus from the hotel to the beach all the time. In addition, the hotel has a swimming pool. Mountains nearby. Food is good, service is good. We really enjoyed staying there

SandraUA, neither Grand Viking 4 * nor Viking Star 4 * will fit in the budget. There 6 nights for 2 in October while it starts from 750 USD. Even if the price drops, it is unlikely to reach $500. Set of Vikings keeps the price not because of the separation of individual hotels from the sea. This is a Scandinavian network and the price is formed taking into account the fact that the Europeans anyway, even if the sea is at hand, they will still spend 90% of the time by the pool. In addition, this year, these Viking hotels are being relocated, if necessary, from other hotels of their chain (for example, this year they are re-accommodating from their Viking Nona, which is on the waterfront). For rational operation with less load. The pricing policy in their hotels + is the same, therefore, having bought a tour in any of the Viking hotels in Kemer, you can find yourself in another one. For this reason, they will not cut prices much.

musja7, maybe you are right, because. I cannot say that a package from a travel agency to this hotel (Grand Viking) will cost 500 USD. At one time we flew there ourselves, that is. We booked a hotel separately, a separate flight to Antalya (then Wizz Air flew there from Kyiv). The hotel - I just looked at Bucking at the end of September - will cost 420 USD. for a week for 2 - all inclusive. It remains to find a cheap flight)) Maybe look at Pegasus Airlines.

musja7, as an experienced person in such matters, please explain the following point. If the price of $750 is now announced, can't you expect that a few days before the tour the price will "burn" by 25-30%?
