Better value holidays in Turkey
As the pound has fallen against the euro in recent months a number of British holidaymakers
are now flying to Turkey as they snap up bargain deals to popular places such as Istanbul and
Dalaman.
According to figures released by the Post Office earlier this year, Turkey ranks alongside
Egypt as one of the best value for money destinations for British travellers, with the cost of a
three-course meal for two with a bottle of wine coming in at £30, compared to £42 in Malta.
According to recent reports, Turkey is one of the few holiday destinations where it is still
possible to find a dinner for two for under £20 and with the UK currency situation unlikely to
resolve itself anytime soon, demand for holidays in Turkey is set to increase over the next few
years.
Turkey has plenty of attractions with its golden beaches and clear blue waters offering many
plenty for holidaymakers whether they simply want to soak up the sun or get involved with the
many watersports offered by the resorts.
Despite many holiday makers flying to Istanbul, Bodrum is fast becoming one of Turkey’s most
popular holiday spots and is an excellent choice for holidaymakers looking for entertainment,
sun-kissed beaches and cultural attractions such as the Mausoleum. The old city of Izmir is
the perfect option for those looking to explore the country’s rich heritage and culture.
Those looking to explore the natural beauty of Turkey will appreciate the Pamukkale, which is
one of the natural wonders of the world and was reportedly formed more than 14,000 years
ago. The Cappadocia region in central Turkey is also famed for its natural beauty and,
according to toptenturkey.com, is home to over 600 rock-cut churches.
Aside from Egypt and Turkey there are still several other destinations where a pound still buys
more than just a postcard. Other top credit crunch destinations, according to the trusty Post
Office Barometer, include Thailand, South Africa, Bulgaria and Croatia, with Spain being
ranked as the cheapest destination within the eurozone.
Flights to Turkey are available from a number of UK airports including Heathrow Airport,
Stansted Airport and Manchester Airport, with carriers such as Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and
Bmi providing services. Flights to Bodrum and other popular Turkish destinations now offer
great value for money with prices available from as little as £137.
