We are doing this for the second year. In the past, because there was no other way, but in this one, because I liked it. We are booking a hotel. Only not through all sorts of bookings, where prices are 2 times higher, but through the website of a particular hotel. Accordingly, we ourselves buy tickets from Turkish Airlines for a regular flight. We also pay for the transfer through the hotel, and you pay for the transfer upon arrival, and not in advance. It turns out cheaper than through MOT. But we must understand that we bought air tickets for July 2017, for example, in December 2016. If you take it a month or two before departure, then there will be no benefit.

I have been traveling to Turkey for more than 12 years, I booked on my own and bought a package through a travel agency and the travel agency booked a hotel, and plane tickets on my own, all this depending on the price of the trip. It happens to be profitable to book on booking, and it happens that the tour operator has lower prices for the hotel than the hotel itself, even if you book on the hotel website. By transfer, there are many sites that offer transfer services, there are hotels that offer a free transfer from the airport, most hotels offer their own transfer but for money. By profitability, I booked a 5 * hotel in Bodrum for 8 nights from a tour operator, bought tickets from UIA to Istanbul and back and Turks to Bodrum and back, I arrive early in the morning and leave late, it turns out full 9 days, night and morning tickets from Turks to local flights start from $20. The savings amounted to about $ 400 for 2 people. In addition to Turkish Airlines, there is Pegasus Airlines, prices are also lower there. How profitable is it individually to be considered

And I'm only in the car! The largest budget was $2,450 for 20 days for two, including a trunk full of fruits, clothes, souvenirs, etc. from three countries (Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania) and a lot of independent excursions. Even near the Great Bergamot twice was passing through.

I read a report somewhere, people from Novosibirsk to Alanya and back went in their car. But it needs a lot of money, a lot of vacation days and a lot of restless cockroaches in my head. I would not go 6000 km.

Alexandr-, if not for my wife, I would not have known that there are shops in Turkey.
Vika284 , just don't arrange races - let the trip become part of the holiday, because both Bran in Romania and Veliko Tarnovo with Shipka in Bulgaria can be visited while driving. And when you enter Turkey, it is only twenty kilometers from the city of Keshan to Greece. Along the Aegean coast you will see such places that you don’t want to go to Bodrum, one Assos (Behram) is worth it! I'm not talking about the island of Gokceada!

ollennka ___ For 10 years we flew for a "beach" vacation only through MOT. But once they tried it themselves and now it's the only way. Firstly, it is cheaper (if you buy air tickets six months before the trip, this is important), and secondly, it is much calmer. You have tickets for regular Turkish lines, a fixed, very convenient time (at 2-45 in the morning from Moscow, at 22-20 from Antalya), you don’t worry about changing the time, because this is not a charter.

Thank you very much for the advice on traveling by car, I thought so from a stop in different cities. Thanks again for the advice.
I wonder why a girl from Barnaul gives advice on turpravda.ua, maybe she mixed up the site or the last letters ua and ru. And here Novosibirsk or Moscow, to the question of a person who lives in Ukraine

Vika284, "a girl from Barnaul" has the right to give advice to anyone who needs it. She is a luminary here, an adequate and principled person, like most Russians on this forum. Read her stories and all questions will disappear. Quilted jackets disappeared by themselves, but there were many.
If you go by car, I can help you make an itinerary, don't be shy.

Departures on charter flights to Turkey from Kyiv daily from night to evening every 10-30 minutes, and this is all sold through travel agencies, the planes are always full.
Or all these people do not count their money well, or it is still cheaper to rest through agencies.

agent_borabora____ just less hassle through TA. And this is especially convenient for those who have no time to mess around: take out insurance, look for a hotel, transfer, air tickets...
And air tickets for regular flights are more expensive than for a charter as part of a tour package, unless, of course, you book them 8 months in advance (like Alexander).
The car option is the most interesting. but not available to everyone.

thanks for answers. I really looked at the prices for plane tickets (for a month, because there is no way to plan ahead for half a year). The price is the same as for the entire "package" for which we had a rest in July ... So far, the "savage" has not convinced us of savings))))))

This is significantly less profitable than independent travel in the rest of Europe.
You can win on an independent tour to Turkey, as well as to Egypt, only if you have a familiar person working in a travel agency or an air ticket office who will inform you about the very rare empty seats on charter flights.
The process of booking first a regular flight (with transfers), then a round-trip transfer, then a hotel, then buying insurance, in 9 cases out of 10 is not worth the candle.
You can save money by traveling on your own to Turkey in November or April, and to Egypt in February or late January. In the off season.

Vika284, overheated at the monitor? Create your own site and set access rights there on a geographical basis.
Alexandr-, yes, yes, it is because of the calmness that I prefer the regular season, and not the packages on charters. Once I sat for six hours in the "corral" at the Antalya airport, since then I decided on my own.

ollennka you are a guru of various travels, a connoisseur of hotels and countries, but as for air tickets, visas and passports and international rules for citizens of Ukraine, your answers are wrong. so the geographical principle in relation to a person from the country of which he asks is important

Unfortunately, there are no such flights from Ukraine.

Vika284, Well, I'm just happy to be mistaken that from Ukraine on my own to Turkey is cheaper than with a package. But the author of the question herself agrees that it is cheaper to go to Turkey as a package.

ollennka, each option for an independent trip to the same Turkey needs to be worked out.
When WizzAir flew from Ukraine to Antalya, I twice rested in Kemer without a tour package, I organized everything myself. Wizz is gone, independent options have become more expensive. Now Turkishi and Pegasus low-cost flights have begun to fly from Zaporozhye (considering that the costs of travel to Kyiv and back have gone), it has become interesting to get to Istanbul, and from there the whole world, I'm not talking about Turkey .My son flies to New York via Istanbul on business, so we want to check either Bodrum or Turkish Cyprus via Istanbul. In general, you should always look for options.

Of course, everything needs to be worked out. But if in a month you already want to sunbathe in Turkey, then most often the tour package comes out cheaper than an independent trip.

I'm not sure about this, again the general words "then most often a tour package comes out cheaper than an independent trip." Each specific case requires a miscalculation, at least to Turkey, at least somewhere. There was also an option with a UIA charter flight from Sharm from morning to 12 at night.
Here is an example - a trip to Sukhumi from Zaporizhia this year. The first option is the plane - Simferopol-Adler. They will meet there. It turns out that it is very expensive. Not Europe.
We drove the car through Kerch, the ferry, and to Sochi. For a very long time, and even in front of the Crimea, we stood for 10 hours. That's how the routes are worked out.

Yes, it seems that we are analyzing a specific case anyway, the author has already calculated the price of an independent trip compared to the package and shed a tear.
I won’t tell you about Sharm, Sukhumi and Sochi, I didn’t fly there in packages ...

50/50 package and on your own, if on your own you either need to buy tickets in advance or wait for promotions, for example, from UIA or use the current promotion of buying a ticket for 6-8 months from UIA, which, due to Raynair entering the Ukrainian market, also sells promotional tickets from 560 rn (about $ 22), Pegasuses also fly very cheap, they have one-way tickets (Kyiv-Ankara-Antalya) starting at $ 70, but with hand luggage

All this means that if you want to take care of your own travels, then you have to calculate everything yourself. Then you can see whether it is profitable or not. If independent Egypt is not profitable for me, I take a package.

If a package to Turkey, then I always look forward to last-minute offers, you can always buy a tour to a very good hotel for a really low price, I lost a lot of money in early booking promotions in Turkey. Charter flights in a package tour is almost always a big minus

If you travel to Egypt on your own, you need to make a visa, for group tourists who bought a package, a visa is placed at the airports of Egypt
