If you are planning a long vacation, for example, for a month, then it may be beneficial to book an apartment. But you need to calculate everything. expenses, food is quite expensive in Turkey. And find cheap flights.
It is worth buying only a package tour to the hotel, it will turn out cheaper and less hassle.

And I agree with amazon_ka. Although my independent vacation (moving by car) turned out to be cheaper than a tour from TA.

For the first trip to Turkey, I recommend trying to pick up some kind of last-minute tour for one to two weeks. And the question must be asked more specifically - region, date of trip, duration, vacation at sea or in the city, excursions, apartments or hotel. My family has been planning and relaxing for a long time, especially in Turkey, on their own. We buy air tickets and vouchers for hotels, self-transfer and insurance. Tour price per person goes 20-30% lower. (Hotels in the Kemer area HV-1 or 5 * of a fairly high level). And an independent transfer to Izmir or Antalya by car 2000-2300 km. one way, the cost of gasoline in Turkey is very high + the availability of Schengen (Romania, Bulgaria) - speaks for itself. Now the cheapest Pegasus flight for any day of summer is $ 250. Make your choice and ask a question.

Turkey is big, prices are different. Write in more detail what you expect from the trip (terms, region, type of vacation), then we will advise.

It will be cheaper on your own if:
1. First and foremost - find cheap flights. From Kyiv at the moment there is nothing direct to Antalya, Bodrum and Dalaman cheaper than $ 430. With transfers - 330-350. It is expensive.
2. You know the hotel base and booking sites well. The websites of the hotels themselves and booking.com are not suitable for profitable booking in Turkey.
or
2. You are going to rest not in a hotel, but in apartments.
3. If you want a combined trip. You can fly cheaply to Istanbul, and then go along the west coast towards Antalya - even on a rented car, even on public transport. With stops and sightseeing, relaxing on the beaches, just for a week, this route is optimal.

Laricom5, for you and for everyone who is interested, calculated my trip from Kyiv to Antalya in 2013. 1.Bulgarian multivisa for a year for two - 110 euros. different cities (there and on the way back) - St. Vlas 4x20 euros = 80; Kusadasi - 4x35 euros = 140; Dalyan - 4x40 euros = 160; Gelemysh (Patara) - 3x35 euros = 105; Cirali - 4x45 euros = 180; Chisinau - 1x35 euros = 35. Total 700 euros. 4. Food on average 30 euros for two per day - 600 euros. Total direct costs - 1910 euros for 20 days for two. For 300 euros they brought a full trunk: olive oil, olives, spices, sweets, jeans, bamboo blankets, jumpers, shoes and some other little things. Excursions were also included in the total cost ( gasoline + food). I think that 100 euros a day for two is quite normal for Turkey. Whoever has it cheaper, share, now it's relevant!

Igor_m, judging by your trip report, you are a unique person, I would even add, heroic and probably the only one in all of Ukraine. Spending several days (round trip) driving from 12 to 17 hours is not for everyone for tourists. Yes, and the hotels in which you stay - this is just an overnight stay. You get a good sightseeing, informative, economical tour, but no more. My family has been visiting Antalya since 1996, so for the last 10 years we have been going to the Kemer region (but not to Kemer) only o-t-d-s-x-a-t-s. And in a good 5 * or HV1 with good animation, we barely have time to participate in all the interesting events and shows from morning to evening, and even more so to lie on the beach. When planning a trip, the focus is on saving money and time, a minimum of difficulties, and a maximum of pleasure, benefit from the first to the last day. Of course, in terms of the economy, our trips are losing, taking into account all the costs, this turns out to be in the range of 80-90 euros / day per person.

You and I, laricom5, have a different perception of rest. I am my own guide and animator, Cesur Pansiyon in Cirali is better for me than any five-star one. To each his own, and that's how it should be.

Laricom5, thank you for your kind words, I never stand in line for anything, I manage my business and leisure myself, in Turkey, except for Istanbul, in five years I have only seen a car with Ukrainian numbers once, when we returned to Dalyan from the beach Iztuzu, barely parted on a narrow road with an Odessa citizen in a Toyota. So at least two "crazy" already.

Igor_m, did not see your review of the guest house Cesur Pansiyon. Cirali is a great place - I know because. in 1999 for the first time we rested in Tekirova. But there are no hotels there that meet one of my parameters - an area of at least 50,000 sq.m. And even more so, I attribute the hotels located on the second line to my next parameter - and "I won't go for nothing." If you want to discuss, I invite you to Skype - deltasalut.

There are no hotels in Cirali in the usual sense, there are guest houses, I have not seen a territory of 100x500 m anywhere in Turkey, I posted a review of Cesur Pansiyon on booking, but it has already disappeared, and on Google maps - click on the bed on the map. I talked a little about it in your stories. Compare reviews of the best hotel and this guest house, as well as Jet Pansiyon in Gelemish, Onder Pansiyon in Dalyan, Dikelya Otel in Dikili. for me, I don’t rest in them, but I go in formation either to the beach or to the canteen, watching the struggle for trestle beds and food.

Why compare reviews if they are from completely different tourists? I would even say CATEGORIES of tourists. Some people don’t even need the first line for nothing (I can’t understand this, honestly :)), someone needs a house without food and territory.

Igor_m, I repeat - I admire your devotion to "independent tourism", but to consider yourself and the option of rest worked out by you as an ideal, probably this will not be correct. If you voiced 3-5 5 * hotels you have visited, terms and dates, then you can have a discussion. And I’ll name more than 50,000 hotels at once in Beldibi - Crystal Flora (the length of the beach alone is more than 700m, places under awnings on the beach and by the pool at the end of August - September are occupied no more than 50%) Nirvana, Renaissance, etc. up to Sungate Port they all have a named territory size. Houses, cottages and villas are buried in pines, cedars and palm trees. There are similar places in Goynuk, Camyuva and Tekerov. No one walks in formation, and there are no queues for rarity. It all depends on the level of the hotel. I made a mistake in choosing so far only once - La mer Art (Goynuk) and wrote my first negative review (subjective), after that I began to visit the Turpravda website. So everything in life is relative. We will be alive and if we are lucky we will meet in Turkey in 2015.

Dear travelers, I'm sorry that I'm asking a little off topic in someone else's question, but in what month would you advise to go to Cappadocia? So that there are not too many people and the weather is comfortable.

For all the disputes, the author was lost)))
from personal experience - a package tour is still cheaper (due to flights and transfers). But, for example, a 10-day vacation in Kemer (majesty mirage park hotel from 12.05) with a preliminary flight to Istanbul for 4 days, this season turned out to be approximately equal to the cost of the package tour. But here it is more about the instability of the ruble.

It all depends on personal experience, as you correctly noted. To date, I have calculated your package from 12.05.2015 to 22.05. from Moscow to Majesty Mirage Park, it was about $ 570 per person (kemer + flight by Turks + transfer + insurance) based on a transfer of $ 50 for two. I would like to hear from you the cost of your package tour. With a stop in Istanbul for 4 days, it turns out to be a little more expensive (the hotel is about the same price) - due to the "broken" flight, its price is $ 200. And it should be noted that a flight from Moscow to Antalya is cheaper than from Kharkov to Antalya ($164 versus $250).

All were not bought at the same time, respectively, the costs look something like this (all for two): hotels Istanbul / Kemer 1100 € (4/10 nights, respectively), at least 100 € for transfers (20/80). Tickets were paid in rubles: MSK-ISTANBUL, ISTANBUL - Antalya, Antalya - Moscow time - all 33000 R. That's something like this approximately) 1200 € + 33000 R

I didn’t understand Why you have a flight MSC-ISTANBUL, ISTANBUL-Antalya, Antalya-MSK costs 33000 rubles. Now Pegasus has a price for the same flight of $200 per person. A direct round-trip flight is $167.

From MSC and to MSC we fly by Turks, by Pegasus we have an internal Turkish flight. First we fly to Istanbul, walk there for 4 days and then go to the sea from there. Maybe not the cheapest option, of course, we chose, but initially the goal was to combine Istanbul with a vacation in Antalya, but at that time they didn’t offer anything, so they got confused themselves) well, in the end, it was a little profitable with exchange rates and races, because the hotel and tickets paid in the fall.

We have been flying to Turkey for ten years ourselves. In 2013-14 from Kharkiv to Antalya via Istanbul (no direct flight), but still cheaper than a package tour to the same hotel. I remembered that we did a similar option in 1996, but Istanbul was on our way back. There was no experience then, they ordered from TA and the trip cost 1.5 times more.

Indeed, if everything is done in time, the benefit is obvious) Yes, and TO stopped pampering us with last-minute tours (especially if you try to wait for a certain hotel, and even on vacation dates). And so, according to our prices, Kemer has risen in price by 400 €, Istanbul - first 2 times, and already in early January it completely went to the stop (after all, we are there on the May days themselves). Yes, and our tickets have risen in price by 10 thousand. Although other carriers have appeared, cheaper, now we will know. And in general, somehow I was very afraid of non-direct flights, they had never flown like that. And now it’s even interesting, people have fun in different ways, someone manages to see the cities with one eye) And Majesty now at Tez, for example, costs 100,000 rubles + fuel, but everything turned out cheaper with us)
