Get more for your money with cheap Turkey hotels
Offering a diverse blend of attractions for holidaymakers, Turkey boasts a mix of inspiring landscapes and intriguing ancient history and culture. Happily, for the time being this all comes at an affordable price as well. Having been hailed as a ‘best buy’ holiday location throughout 2009 Turkey has been proving itself to be a shrewd option for travellers and this is partly related to its currency. The country still has a number of years to go before it can join the European Union and start thinking about taking on the Euro. Until then, visitors can enjoy a favourable return on their money alongside some great deals on Turkey hotels.
Following the changing fortunes of the Pound against the Euro, some travellers were forced to look elsewhere for a good value holiday. Turkey has become a serious contender as an alternative to traditional European destinations, with its favourable exchange rates of around 2.4 Turkish Lira to the Pound. The country benefits from all the advantage of its European neighbours, such as weather, activities and culture, but at a better price when you’re there.
Popular places to spend your new found wealth include the town of Bodrum on the west coast, which offers a heady mix of old fashioned charm and modern sophistication. For a great investment of both time and money, a trip to the Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology is well worth a visit. A bit further south, in Antalya, you can see some of the ocean’s treasures for yourself when you take a scuba diving course. The region also benefits from a good supply of high quality cheap Turkey hotels, with all inclusive resorts available for incredible prices. Meanwhile, the Dalaman region is a good choice if you want to save a bit of money by sampling a diverse range of Turkey’s delights all in one place. Again, there are plenty of reasonably priced Turkey hotels on offer, suitable for families, couples or groups of friends.
There’s no doubt, of course, that some of the most rewarding things to do in Turkey are free. Whether you choose to walk around its towns, hike through its mountains or relax on its beaches, you will have a great experience – and at a great price.
From cheap hotels to luxury resorts Turkey has it all
A hugely versatile holiday destination, Turkey has rocketed up the holiday charts. It’s not unusual to hear holidaymakers praise the country’s good variety of both luxury resorts and cheap hotels, which can be found for as little as under £5 per night. Meanwhile, with Turkey’s all inclusive resorts offering some incredible deals at the moment, travellers can enjoy luxury at a great price in the best of both worlds.
The Concorde De Luxe Resort Hotel is one excellent example of the quality of the hotels in Turkey, offering five star luxury at a great price. Located in Turkey’s capital Antalya, this beachfront hotel offers such variety through its accommodation and facilities that guests have everything they need just in the resort and need never venture outside.

The Concorde’s all inclusive option offers the best value for money. For around £350 two people can enjoy a standard room with land view for seven nights and for just £50 extra they can opt for a stunning sea view. The cost includes the chance to take full advantage of the hotel’s extensive dining facilities. The Turkish, Italian, English, Seafood and BBQ restaurants are just some examples of the choices onsite. Meanwhile, holidaymakers can enjoy unlimited locally produced drinks and a selection of imported beverages at one of the 12 bars available, including a tea house and vitamin bar.
Catering effortlessly for visitors of all ages, the range of activities on offer at the hotel is staggering.

This is just a taster of what’s on offer. The Concorde De Luxe is a perfect example of the quality and value offered by many Turkey hotels.
Cheap hotels abroad make sunshine breaks in Europe a no-brainer
The current financial climate seems to have affected everyone and pushed the thoughts of escaping on holiday far, far away. Hotels and resorts know that people are more concerned about their finances and have adjusted their prices to follow suit – making a getaway a surprisingly affordable option.
Holidaymakers looking to keep a close eye on a tight budget should opt for all inclusive options.The essentials, such as food and the majority of drinks, are fully catered for, while on site facilities mean that you don’t need to go far to find alternative entertainment if you fancy a change from lounging by the pool or need something to keep the kids happy. All this means that the ‘hassle-free’ element of your holiday is fully covered, but what about the ‘cheap’ part?
While all inclusive used to mean very expensive, there are some excellent offers on at the moment, making a stress-free getaway a possibility despite a very low budget:
Greece
The Greek islands are a top choice for a sunny escape, surprisingly they are also extremely budget-friendly. Greece hotels are very affordable. On the island of Kos, for example, all inclusive hotels can be found for as little as £25 per person per night this May. May is a great time to travel to Greece, as there is guaranteed sunshine, but the sweltering summer heat waves will not have set in.
Turkey
Just outside the Euro-zone, you’ll find Turkey is an excellent and very affordable option. The cost of eating out is climbing, however, so an all inclusive holiday is a sensible choice price-wise. All inclusive hotels in Turkey near the beautiful region of Dalaman, cost as little as £10 per person per night this May.
Majorca
Majorca in the Balearic Islands offers up a great mix of Spanish island culture alongside traditional British tourism trade. There are great deals to be found on Majorca hotels at the moment. A three star all inclusive experience can be found for a very budget-friendly £10 per person per night this May.
