Where is it better to go with children for the first time to Turkey (end of June)?
I plan to go at the end of June for 8-10 nights, with children (son 18 years old, daughter 9 years old). Budget $1000-1500. Therefore a number of questions:
1. Where is the best place to go to combine a seaside holiday (warm sea and not too hot) and excursions? 2. Is it possible to consider hotels 3 * or better with 4 *? (so that it is both budgetary and not quite a "terrible" hotel) 3. Is the budget realistic? How much does it cost to allocate money for excursions/souvenirs/contingencies? (minimum)? 4. Settlement in a room: is it necessary to count on settling in one room or is it necessary for an adult son to have a separate one (as is customary?) 5) Which tour operator is better in Kyiv? Thank you in advance!

I'm not talking about the budget. Not aware of prices in Ukraine. If you or your children cannot live without fat, then Turkey is not for you! Further: three of you will not be accommodated in a double room. In addition: the policy of many hotels is such that they do not accommodate two young men in one room ...

I'm afraid they won't put you all together. Hence the budget needs to be increased. It's a shame there are three of you...
Now about the travel agency. From personal!!! experience, I can say that agencies from the periphery quite easily go for a 10-11% discount from retail. Kiev ones start with 5 and hardly reach 8 (after torn years). 10 they can't beg on their knees. While all.

And by deadlines. If you can shift to the second half of May, the prices will definitely be more pleasant, but you also need to go to the Antalya coast because of the climate.

Good afternoon! Your budget is quite realistic if you stay in 1 standard room (2 + 1) or Triple (3-bed). So, a son is 18 years old - he is considered an adult. If you want it to be not too hot, I would recommend you to choose the end of May (and prices are cheaper during this period). Choose 4 or 5 star hotels. Read reviews. Of the tour operators, I would recommend Join Up (one of the inexpensive ones), Anex Tour, TUI, Coral Travel,

After reading the question and looking at the nickname, it seems like a woman with children of 18 and 9 is going to go. Why won't they settle? will settle. There are various options for rooms such as standard but designed for 3 and even 4 people. I am a mother of many children, the eldest is 21 today, and she traveled with us regularly. There were options when we did not fit in the room (maybe we are 2 adults + 3 children), but while the youngest was an infant, they easily fit in extended standards. It all depends on the hotel and how many rooms it has. At the expense of the budget .... oh, this year Turkey even set a considerable price tag for Belarus. Hotels that cost up to 2000 ye last year are offered for 3000 or more... what about her, Turkey this year).

Kolhoznic freezing in Turkey at +30, the policy of individual hotels, and not many, is not to accommodate 2 men in one room
valentyna777 look at the 4 * hotel in Side TT Hotels Pegasos World and at the end of June you can Bodrum hotel Bitez Garden Life and Sundance Resort
If Bodrum, then there are many excursions in the city itself and nearby, closer than from the Anatolian coast, go on an excursion to Pamukkale, and an excursion to Ephesus is 100 km from Bodrum, if you have biometric passports, then 40 minutes by ferry and in Greece on the island of Kos
Bitez Garden Life even 3 adults are accommodated in the standard
аватар moy_contakt
I will continue. They did not fit in a standard room and we had to settle in a family. It's more expensive, of course, but much more comfortable. As for TO, everything is simple here, choose a hotel (by yourself or listening to the advice of a TA or TO employee (who work with individuals, but at the same time, even recommended hotels or hotels are checked by reviews, this is a must). Choose a price, read the conditions for early booking , what shines for you if you can’t go, etc. (after all, anything can happen) There are, of course, MOTs that distinguished themselves last year and regularly have some problems (here I would think about whether it’s worth flying through RB through such. It's one thing when you fly out in the near future and quite another when in half a year.) But it's up to you to decide.

Any tour operator TezTour, Coral, Tui, Anex
Just don't Join up!
аватар moy_contakt
Pegasus is still a great operator. It somehow happened that it was Turkey in the Republic of Belarus that was booked through them and there were never any overlaps, replacements of hotels, etc. There were shifts in departures (booking takes place half a year or more in advance and the flight program is not yet finally known, so this is normal), but I was always offered options and I chose the best and more convenient. But their price may be higher if the considered the hotel is offered by other operators. And here, of course, you need to look at who offers and whether it makes sense to take risks. For example, if the hotel is offered by Pegasus and Join Up, then the choice is definitely in the direction of Pegasus.
аватар Kolhoznic
moy_contakt, Pegasus is a purely Turkish company. But their prices are initially higher than the prices of other operators. Especially high prices for excursions... And, yes, Pegasus has the oldest fleet of planes... Cramped, uncomfortable 757 Boeings. However, for a hundred dollars in these planes you can take extra-comfort seats ...
аватар moy_contakt
Dear Kolhoznic! Did I say something about buying tours from Pegasus? I wrote about the reliability of this MOT in terms of early booking, that he never let us down. And we have never taken tours and will not take them from hotel guides, it's completely different. At the expense of the old fleet of aircraft ... all MOT has its moments in this regard. And considering that to fly only (from Kharkov) 2 hours with pennies ... it is possible to survive. Although, I flew from the annex and coral and other MOT and did not find much difference in the planes. Everywhere there is equally little space between the seats .... maybe somewhere newer seats, and so no difference.

Kolhoznic, in Ukraine, TO Pegas Touristik by air is now cooperating with UIA, normal planes
аватар moy_contakt
By the way, in December my daughter flew to Minsk with Bravalia ....... that's where the junk really is ..... and in Ukraine Pegasus has normal planes. They flew both from Kyiv and Kharkov ....
аватар moy_contakt
I made a mistake, Belavia - I flew to Minsk with this wonderful airline. tin. scare is rare. But 50 minutes .... you can survive.

valentyna777, if 1500, then it will be more realistic. Vika284 and moy_contakt gave you the most adequate advice. According to the settlement of the three of us - a million times I traveled and accommodated 3 adults in the room and also 2 + 1. so do not listen to the bullshit or gelding about supposedly NOT placing 3 in the room.
аватар Kolhoznic
Elenka08, "The three of us traveled around the settlement a million times and accommodated 3 adults in the room and also 2 + 1" but not on the ball?!
аватар moy_contakt
Kolhoznic! you are definitely weird. who was talking about the ball? The conversation was about the possibility or its absence of a settlement of the discussed number of people in a standard room. Naturally, any accommodation is paid, but there are cheaper options, there are more expensive, expensive and very expensive. And everyone chooses based on their budget. In this case, the budget is small, and budget options are being considered.
аватар Kolhoznic
my_contakt, I got it right! Just 1500 dollars for three people for 8-10 nights is very little even at Russian prices for trips to Turkey. And here at 4 * and even 5 * they offer to swing!
аватар moy_contakt
In this I agree with you. Prices for Turkey this season are not encouraging. But nevertheless, people are not demanding, you can find some kind of mediocre hotel.
аватар Vika284
8-10 nights $ 1500 for 2 adults + child normal budget even for a good 5 in any region of Turkey
for example, according to the offers of early booking to Bodrum for the second half of June for 9 nights 2 adults + 1 child, for example, there is a hotel
Armonia Holiday Village & SPA 5* for 10 nights 1590$
In Side Terrace Elite Resort 5* $1600 for 8 nights for everything
In Alanya TT Hotels Pegasos 5* Resort $1400
аватар Kolhoznic
Vika284, Ukraine has very low prices! From us, this money is only a "kopeck piece" or a shabby "three-ruble note" for seven nights.
аватар Veronika7081
In the top five for 10 nights 1 + 2 (18 years old - already grown up, 9 years old) for 1500 dollars will not work exactly at the end of June. I don't recommend triplets. Fours - well, for example, Here Pegasos Club 4 * (plus - 1 line) in Alanya - again, I'm not sure what will be on the budget. Friends are considering the 1 + 2 option (only 14 years old and 5 years old), also for 10 days up to $ 1400 at the beginning of June: Mukarnas, Gypsophila in Alanya, Crystal Paraiso (conditionally 2 line, the river flows between the hotel and the beach) in Belek. But in the Republic of Belarus it is not yet in line with its budget. Belarus in Turkey is not happy yet.

serna7081 no matter how you find it, there are many offers for Turkey in this budget and even good 5 * hotels
аватар Kjokka
I watch RB on Anex! RB started in November! There were minimum prices, today the price is 10-11% higher than in November. I don't think it will get any cheaper.
аватар Veronika7081
Vika284, that's all I can't find.
аватар Kjokka
How are you looking? Try it on the Anex website, it is very accessible and informative there! Hotels with descriptions and photos. Just no reviews.

1. Choose either Kemer (Antalya Airport) or Marmaris or Fethiye (Dalaman Airport). There are mountains and greenery. At the end of June, the sea will already be quite comfortable. The regions of Side and Alanya are more flat.
2. It all depends on what you expect from the rest. If you do not plan to sit permanently in the hotel, but spend time outside its territory, then you can consider the top three. If you plan to spend most of your time in a hotel, then the three will not work. Here it is better to choose a hotel with a large territory and the presence of entertainment. But these are 4 *, 5 * hotels and, as a rule, are not cheap.
3. The budget is realistic for a budget hotel, especially when ordering in RB. For excursions and souvenirs, probably from $ 200. Again, it depends on the quantity, quality and duration of excursions (there are both $15 and $60). And what do you mean by "souvenir"? A magnet and a bag of coffee or something more serious?
аватар Olgaolga153
4. The three of us check into one room is real, for most hotels this is a common practice. In a standard room, they can put a cot as a third place, the child will be quite comfortable. And it will be much more economical than ordering 2 rooms. Here, consider the most acceptable option for you.
5. Considering that you will be abroad for the first time, I agree with those who do not recommend TO Join Up. They, for sure, the tour will be cheaper, but there are no less “jambs”. Remember the proverb about the miser who pays twice, and consider how justified the risk is.
аватар Olgaolga153
Kolhoznis, in my opinion, you are confusing Pegasus and Pegasus (in the sense of maintenance and air carrier).
аватар Kjokka
Very good advice! The only thing I don’t agree with is Jin Up’s ro pod, far from always nth tours are cheaper. It all depends on what kind of hotel. Very many hotels that are bpz for Anex and Join Up either do not offer at all (on the website there are places there) or offer more expensive than Anex.
