It's simple - choose a hotel,
e.g. Adonis http://www.adonishotel.com.tr
Choose your dates and book. Before you pay - you will be asked: do you want a discount? Then book another flight.
Add - pay.
As for - this site - there is also a transfer.

If you book a hotel - for example on booking.com - then first,
I recommend you buy a ticket.
If you fly through Istanbul / or through the capital of Turkey - Ankara, then buy different air tickets.
1) Air ticket for example: Moscow - Istanbul - Moscow.
2) Air ticket within the country: Istanbul - Antalya, and Dalaman - Istanbul.

It's better, because you can fly to Antalya.
And fly away from Dalaman.
**** Arrive in Antalya. Taxi to the city - about 20 Euro. My advice to you is don't skimp on it.
Proven - for years.
Yes, you can use public transport - but don't do it.
Live in Antalya, enjoy 5 days vacation.
And then - you will go, for example, to Fethiye.
To do this, you need to go to the bus station - here you can go buses. You will be told how.
Approximately 30 minutes of time. But it is not important. Intercity buses run every 15 minutes.

I like the bus company https://www.pamukkale.com.tr
There are prices.
Rest 5 days days in Fethiye.
And - home. Only, for this you do not need to return to Antalya.
You need to Dalaman airport. From Fethiye take the bus

And, you return to Moscow.
Everything is simple!

1. Plan your budget, the probability that buying a standard tour to Turkey will be cheaper.
2. Choose a hotel - most importantly, check all the prices on the booking sites and check the prices for standard tours where your hotel is in the selection.
3. Flights, if your information is that your city is Sarapul, then the nearest airport to you is Izhevsk. For example, you can buy a ticket for S7 Airlines and Pobeda with a transfer in Moscow: Izhevsk-Moscow-Antalya.
You can also buy air tickets from charter companies through travel agencies that carry out charter flights Izhevsk-Antalya-Izhevsk.
4. Insurance, it is not expensive + -10 $, but you will feel confident under various health-related circumstances in a foreign country.
5. Transfer:
-Most hotels provide transfer from / to the airport, after you book a hotel and buy tickets. Write an email to the hotel. The hotel will request your flight details so that the driver can arrive on time

5. Transfer:
- there are well-known international companies that provide transfer services around the world
an example is kiwi taxi company. You can go to their website and choose the car you want or they also provide group transfer services. Tariffs can be viewed in advance on the website.
- Taxi near the airport, can be expensive
6. Money - if you have a Sberbank card, then in Turkey there is a large network of the DenizBank subsidiary bank and many ATMs, you could withdraw money without a commission, my friend works at Sberbank in Moscow, when we see each other on vacation she always has a Sberbank bank card
At the ATM at the airport, you can withdraw cash in dollars, euros and Turkish lira.
In the bazaars of Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side, Alanya, Russian rubles are also taken.
7. Before the trip, make photocopies of your booking, write down the coordinates and phone numbers of the hotel and the booking site so that you can contact you in different situations.

Tip choose hotels in Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side and Alanya for the first independent trip.
There are many Russian speakers in these resort cities of Turkey and the Turks understand Russian more than in the Aegean region of Turkey. Even at the Antalya airport there are people at the reference airport who will understand the Russian language.

I've been without travel agents for a long time. Almost on the website of any hotel you can book. Booking categorically do not advise, their prices are much higher. I book through the hotel website. The only thing is that I always buy air tickets at the very start of sales - at the end of October, November. My favorite Turkish Airlines gives great summer deals in the first weeks of sales. In this case, the total price of the tour is much lower than that of the earliest booking.

That's how many times I looked at the options for booking a hotel directly, through the site .... this is still without a flight ... Well, there the price always turned out to be higher than through a TO with a flight. Again, this year (I plan a summer vacation very early) when I saw the prices for the desired hotels in Belarus .... I decided to break through the option of traveling on my own .... Well, it’s more profitable not only that it didn’t work out, but it turned out to be 600 more expensive ... It makes complete sense to go to Spain, Greece without maintenance, but in Turkey I have not yet found such options.
аватар Alexandr-
moy_contakt ___I'm talking about Russia and specifically with a flight from Moscow. If you buy air tickets at the start of sales and book a hotel in Belarus itself, it will be much cheaper than with TO. As in Ukraine, I have no idea.

In 2016 (when Russians could only get to Turkey on their own), one of the hotels posted a promotion when booking a hotel - a flight as a gift. Well, I ran them an application, they called me back and said that this action is only for Russians together with Turkish Airlines on certain dates ... and there is no such action for Ukraine. Our packages to Turkey and Egypt are much more profitable. But from Russia it is more profitable to fly to the exotic. The same Thailand, on average, turned out to be 600 ye cheaper (until Qatar Airways appeared and offered tickets, albeit with a transfer, but 370 euros in both directions, instead of the UIA monopoly, which has a direct flight of 670-800 ye ... This is pure moments of our countries....

Where does this myth come from that people travel on their own to save money? In the vast majority of cases, it will be cheaper to go with a travel agency. But if the task is not to save, but to have fun, then the algorithm is as follows:
1. Decide what you want from your vacation, what places / cities you definitely want to visit, estimate the route and possible start / end points.
2. Scratch off a vacation at work.
3. Buy tickets.
Items 3 and 2 can be swapped if the authorities are understanding.
4. Build an exact route based on the purchased flights, buy tickets for the train, bus, ferry, rent a car, if necessary.
5. Book a hotel/hotels along the route.
6. Prescribe an excursion plan and go to pack chumadans.

Turkey profitable? Without a travel agency?
NO WAY.
аватар helena_fortuna
agent_borabora is not always cheaper and not always more expensive!
It all depends on the price of airfare!

When planning a vacation (since they spoke specifically for Turkey, and Turkey for me is a vacation with children), different moments are very important that only buying a tour can provide, namely: departure from the city of residence, without transfers. It's the only one from my city. If I'm traveling without kids, there are a lot more options to consider. But what did I forget in Turkey, when there are so many interesting and much more exotic destinations??
аватар helena_fortuna
moy_contakt You may not forget anything in Turkey.
But - I love her very much.

I traveled Turkey with my husband far and wide, there were previously very cheap flight options Kharkiv - Istanbul, my husband and I had a weekend for ourselves a couple of times, so I ate :) and also, there are some irritable moments in the Turks themselves .... I'm a man peace-loving, but .... In hotels, we are protected from all this as much as possible, but we had the experience of relaxing in apartments ... And since then, it hasn’t been pulling. But to each his own :)

For all my great love for Turkey, it is stupid to focus only on it. As moy_contakt said, there are a lot of interesting other places in the world.
