The popularity of Turkey as a holiday destination continues to grow.

Unlike the Euro the Turkish lira has hardly gained any strength against the pound, but yet prices for the tourist continue to rise and the number of visitors to turkey also continue to rise A typical shopping basket for tourists has risen by 44 per cent in Turkey over the past year, with the cost of a meal out at about £55 for two.
Away from tourist restaurants and you will find prices are far lower.
If you afford bigger resorts and tourist areas you will find eating and drink in turkey much cheapr. The sort of all-inclusive packages offered by the big tour operators, at large resort hotels with in-house sports, entertainments and children’s clubs, often appeal to families because they make budgeting easier. But they limit your choice to the bigger resorts such as Bodrum, Kusadasi, Gumbet, Side, Fetiyhe and Olu Deniz, where prices are higher. Bookthistrip.co.uk recognise this so before you rush to book one of these, check out the flight and hotel search on bookthistrip.co.uk website where you will find great deals to less commercialised resorts like Belek and the side which are upmarket and littered with 4 &5 star hotels. We feature over 20 resorts so your sure to find the turkisnh resort that appeals to you. As an alternative to Bodrum, you might wish to consider at the fishing port  resort of Yalikavak, where there are  good beaches,  a more relaxed atmosphere and cheaper restaurants and bars.
