Cheap Holiday Vacations on the shores of Mediterranean Sea.

Mediterranean Holiday Turkey

When it comes to arrange your next travel, one of the most difficult part is choosing and deciding the best destination that matches your criteria and financial budget. This decision might be a bit hard to make for some of us,  as the cost of the holiday changes depending on a few different factors such as the pick season of the destination, flight ticket cost, finding a cheap and nice accommodation etc.

Therefore we will compare a few different holiday places on Mediterranean Sea Side to give you some hint your next vacation to this specific place. Mediterranean Coast is surely one of the most popular and chosen holiday place attracting many visitors from  European Countries , America & USA  and  travelers even from Asia with its eye-catching crystal water and white sandy beaches. 

Turkey , Italy or Spain ?

First of all we will recommend the place on country based, then we will inspect some of the highlights of family vacations, honeymoon packages, solo travelers and relaxing seaside holidays.

Our top three recommended country for a nice Mediterranean Holiday Coast would be: Italy, Span and Turkey as you might have predicted. All of those countries have shore to this lovely sea and offers a great selection and convenience for an enjoyable getaway either with your friends, family or alone. 

Factors to consider to make it a budget travel to Mediterranean Region 

The first thing you should check before deciding on any country would the flight ticket coast to any of those three countries from your geological location and select the cheapest one, but you are not done deciding yet, as finding the cheapest flight ticket to one of the countries and comparing it in between is only the first step and the below factors might change your mind if even the flight ticket to next place is more expensive than the other ones.

Second factor would be checking the prices for accommodation, transportation inside the city and meals. Yes most of us ignores these when going on a vacation, but spending on accommodation and  meals are some of the main coasts for a holiday package as you are going to eat minimum two times outside than your hotel, and if we consider you stay a week that will be 14 meals and 7 nights of accommodation. 

After you compare those above two factors, you might already have an idea where to go for your travel, however there is one last factor you should consider is that, if the coast is roughly same or slightly different than the each other,  you should check the activities, the environments sightseeing places inside those vacation destinations and try to take advantages of those factors as much as possible to match your expectations, preferences and satisfaction to make it a better holiday than the other one.

We do hope, these basic but informative ideas could help you choose your perfect holiday in a way.

Please share your holiday experience and how you decide to go on with them as a courtesy for the next traveler.

A cruise to Bosphorus River that makes you feel you are standing in between Europe and Asia Continent.

3.) Ankara (Hattusas, Hittites Location)
Ankara City itself might not be very interesting for a short time visitors of Turkey, however if you can make a few days stop over this area, we definitely recommend you to sightseeing of around the city. Inside the city however, there is a worth-visiting place called Museum of Anatolian Civilizations where you can observe some of the traces of numerous Civilizations Ruled and established right in this land itself.

4.) Cappadocia Region

5.) Mt. Nemrut in Eastern Turkey
East Turkey is at least as historical as any other part of Turkey, if not more.

Turkey Travel packages and group tours

How to know if a tour package or a travel package suits your your requirements?

A tour package in Turkey is organized by tour operators and travel agencies with a transportation vehicle, a licensed guide and with the assist of other service providers.

Usually those free travelers do not like to join a big group tour with 100 people together and a guide saying, come this way go that way. That is why BTT Travel Turkey only arranges local sightseeing tours in Turkey with small amount of participants (10 to 15 passengers. maximum) in each destination and location you are going to visit.

The transportation in between inter cities are handled by public coach or domestic airlines such as Turkish airline, Pegasus airline, Onur air, Atlast jet etc.
Those the land transfer from/to your hotel to/from airport will be handled by the transfer team, you will be free on most of your travel time in Turkey, and in some destinations you will be joining the local sightseeing tour , with 10-15 people.

That is why it is always more relaxing and convenient to arrange a local sightseeing travel to Turkey instead of joining a big group travel.
