Have not been to Turkey yet, passports will be ready at the end of July-beginning of August, will it be possible for 3 adults to go to Turkey for a week from August 12 on an all-inclusive system at the rate of 20 thousand per person? And where? What should I pay attention to when ordering a tour or can we not get out at all without a preliminary reservation?

There are always hot tours. And not burning either. A lot of hotels work at All INC. And not expensive either
The region (Kemer, Antalya, Marmaris, etc.) depends on your preferences:
1. sand or pebbles (or whatever)
2. big hotel or small
3. the first line or you can get to the beach on foot-minibus
4. party and noisy animation or quiet family vacation
5. the desire to visit excursions or just lie in the sun ...
Waiting for clarification
аватар Katerina_1
Here are the thanks. I'll try to explain point by point:
1. Sand
2. It doesn't matter (which one is better?)
3. I would like to walk to the beach, I don’t know if it is possible to qualify for the first line under such conditions
4. At the expense of rest ... We are going with friends, according to the result we are 4 adults and 2 overage children 17 years old (boys), I think that they will be bored on a quiet family vacation, and a noisy party will give us a headache. In general, this question is still open.
5. I don’t want to go on an excursion, I want to be a seal, I can take a walk on a yacht, but I’m unlikely to take long walks around the sights.

Sand - Side region, Fethiye, Marmaris
In Side, a budget option on the first line
Larissa Beach Club 4*

The hotel is normal for tourists without big claims and understanding the value for money. At the same time, it completely fits your criteria and needs. In the side itself there are the ruins of the old city (still ancient :) and good yacht tours (you can just ride a yacht or sail on a boat along the river to the Manavgat waterfall)
I myself have not been to this hotel, but there are friends, a married couple with a child of 10 years old, who have been calling for the third year to go there with them (!), They are very pleased with their stay there and believe that it is an excellent combination of price and quality. From St. Petersburg (sorry, but you did not specify the city of departure, I looked from St. Petersburg and Moscow) for 7 nights from August 13 for 3 adults 59,000 (Go More) and 62,000, respectively (for the first time from Moscow I see more expensive :))))!
Look Marmaris, also a very good place.

Trisha75, thank you very much, very valuable information for me, otherwise I poke like a kitten (I'm from Moscow)

before buying a tour, be sure to read the reviews, look at the photos of tourists for this year. BUT, I'm sure - no matter what you choose, it will still be better than domestic hotels and beaches for the same price! When choosing, also pay attention to whether the sunbeds and mattresses on the beach are free. Also look at the departure time - the earlier the better so that the day does not disappear, otherwise the tour can be cheaper, but you will arrive there in the evening and leave in the morning .... and two days of rest will be lost. If you need a safe - it is usually paid, it is more convenient to choose a hotel where the safe is in the room and not at the reception.
аватар Trisha75
Instead of a safe, you can use your suitcase with a combination lock, for all the time you traveled to Turkey, if you stayed in hotels where the safe was at the reception or paid, the suitcase was never opened)))
About the departure is complete nonsense, according to the terms of the contract (such an item is written there), it can be postponed without explanation. We flew to an expensive hotel on an expensive tour, with a company of 12 people, and our return flight (four people from the whole group) was postponed to 9 am, instead of the promised 19-00, and the rest were left for the evening (((, with no persuasion and money offers from our side did not help, and this happens very regularly.
pysy: I wonder if the one who put "disagree" with my comment was against Marmaris or against Side? Please explain...
аватар galja20
yes, the flight can be rescheduled, but still it's better to pay attention to it (after all, they may not be rescheduled !!!!!) Katerina_1 just asks ---- What should I pay attention to when ordering a tour?
аватар Trisha75
I don’t quite agree about the reviews, it’s MANDATORY to read, but carefully filter the claims that guests express, for me personally, dissatisfaction with “old furniture” is always ridiculous if it’s comfortable. Just like "suffering for alcohol", I don't care at all what it's like with wine-whiskey-cognac. Some reviews generally raise doubts about the sanity of their authors ...
I prefer to choose more adequate authors in the reviews and contact them in personal correspondence with those issues that are personally important to me (beach, food, cleanliness, staff attitude)
аватар galja20
yes, reviews are a purely individual factor, but fresh photos are useful to look at. I am very outraged by the reviews, for example - "there was nothing to eat" ... we have already been several times in Turkey, according to the all-inclusive system - it is not possible to stay hungry there !!!!!!!!!

And yet, a preliminary search for vouchers and obtaining passports is not a related issue. If you are sure of the date of receipt of passports, then you need to think now, or you can buy vouchers. Keep in mind that August is the high season and the choice of vouchers can be very small, maybe it not to be, grab only what will "burn".
аватар Katerina_1
Thanks, I've taken note of everything. Do you need to present your passport when ordering a tour?
аватар Trisha75
It is necessary for issuing plane tickets. Usually a charter is issued 2-3 days before departure, check with the agency. My friends had such a situation - they took vouchers without passports, then they provided the data to the agency. The main thing here is to be 100 percent sure that the passports will be ready. If there is a delay in issuing passports, the money will not be returned to you for the tour. I'd wait... I don't like taking risks. Or postponed the departure date to the end of August - and the weather is better and you will definitely take a ticket.
аватар Katerina_1
I'm also afraid to take risks, paperwork does not depend on me, and a lot of money, it's easier to transfer the vacation.
аватар Katerina_1
Can you please tell me what to look for when choosing a hotel? I understood about the reviews and fresh photos. is it possible to change the room without additional payment if you don’t like it on the spot (a friend who returned from Italy heard a lot about terrible drips on the walls, a hole in the floor instead of a shower, etc.)? Big difference between air conditioning in room and shared? The beach is probably better if your own, and not the city, is it not worth saving on this?
аватар galja20
In Turkey, if you are flying to Antalya (Alanya, Kemer, Side, Belek), almost all hotels have their own beaches (but there are exceptions). I would advise you to start your acquaintance with Turkey from the resort of Alanya (well, this is my choice !!!!). But if you decide to go to the Aegean Sea in Dalaman, then you should be careful when choosing a hotel - the beach can be quite far away!!! At the expense of exchanging a room - it is always solved, but you are going in August - the high season, and the hotel may be full and there may simply not be available rooms. But it all also depends on the hotel itself and the level of service, and of course, whether it is paid or not, too. But you can always get out, for example, present a bottle of vodka to the administrator or something like that. . . . . But I advise you not to give anything, but first look at the number, and only then, with a fresh mind, decide !!! we, too, after a night flight with children, upon arrival at the hotel, the rooms seemed somehow cramped,. .. we were promised to show other rooms the next day, but we had a good sleep, looked closely, and were satisfied with everything, we didn’t even go to look. . . . . I have never come across a shared air conditioner, so I won’t tell you anything here. . .

and know how you spend your vacation largely depends on your mood! You can just enjoy the sea and rest, or you can walk and look for flaws! So tune in for a good rest, for positive emotions! Have a nice holiday!
P.S. Be sure to let us know when you arrive!
аватар Trisha75
You can change the room for free, provided that there are adequate claims (well, for example, it flows from the bathroom to the floor, the closing of the balcony door does not work, etc.), but simply "not liking" will not help. If the hotel is completely full, they may offer to wait a day or two and hope that you will forget about it, but if you periodically remind them, they will change for sure. The main thing is with a smile, but persistently and politely ask))))
City beaches are worse because, as a rule, there are sunbeds for a fee (but there is always an option to sunbathe on a towel for free), otherwise they are very clean and normal, often no worse than hotel ones))
For example, the beach of the Atlantis water park is much better than the beach of the Palm Beach hotel (in Marmaris).
The condo is better all the same individual, the general one is turned on when they themselves decide what they need, and not when you need it. With an individual it is easier to adapt to your regimen (for example, I don’t like it when I work at night).
And I also join the advice: do not look for flaws, enjoy your vacation and everything will be GOOD! I have a friend who ALWAYS comes back from vacation with pictures of broken-leaked-spoiled things she found in the hotel (I even managed to find Dolce in Amar!) It looks like it's already like a hobby)))
аватар Katerina_1
Thank you so much, I’m not a whiner in general, but then something shakes me, the thought flashes “wouldn’t I go to the Krasnodar Territory out of habit”, but I drive her))) Oh, when I start skating, you won’t stop me)) ) I’ll definitely unsubscribe, but for now I continue to collect opinions and make notes for myself in order to be fully equipped
аватар Trisha75
If we compare Turkey and the Krasnodar Territory - I definitely vote for TURKEY!!! And for the money it will not be more expensive and you will definitely get more pleasure!
Have a nice holiday. Turkey is a hospitable country, as you will address and treat them - so they will treat you. In my 12 visits to various Turkish resorts and cities, I have never had a single conflict or dissatisfaction with the local service or attitude.
And one more piece of advice: if there are no English speakers in your company, choose the Kemer region (the village of Kemer, Chamyuva, Tekkirova), although there are pebble beaches (but the sea is clean and transparent), and the nature is more beautiful, but most importantly EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE speak Russian. There will be no language barrier for sure! Tourists from Europe still prevail on the Aegean coast, and often neither sellers in the bazaar and shops, nor employees at the hotel reception will be able to communicate with you normally.

What hotels do you choose? By what criteria?
аватар Trisha75
Various )))
And super-cheap apart-hotels with a kitchen, where there is absolutely no animation and Russian "gulyarvanin", where you can be completely free during the day and not be tied to feeding hours ..., and budget 4-5 * on All, where you can give relax without thinking about anything and without running around with a wallet, where all the money taken with you is spent only on excursions and purchases ...
Was in Botanica (Alanya), Marty Mira (Tekirova), Ring Beach (Beldibi), Royal Sultan Garden (Tekirova), Le Paloma and Beach Size (Antalya center), Altinkum (Center of the old city of Side), Letonia Club (Fethiye), Secret Garden Appart, Green Valley, Romance Beach (Marmaris), Angels Home and Stone Hotel (Istanbul)... they are all different)))
I do not fly with agencies, I book everything myself via the Internet (tickets, hotels, and transfers).
аватар semushina_
Can you tell me the site where you book everything?
аватар amontouragent1
First of all, you need to pay attention to the level of service and service in hotel complexes. Whichever resort you choose, in a good hotel you will definitely have only positive emotions. If you want to save some money, we recommend choosing the best 5-star hotels in Alanya: https://imontour.lviv.ua/novyny-i-statti/krashh%D1%96-gotel%D1%96-alan%D1% 96%D1%97-5-z%D1%96rok.
