We are ready to travel to Turkey, now we only have to book a hotel and the best packages to enjoy our dreamed trip, but in front of all the possibilities offered by the internet ... Which is the best?
If you already have a group and already have a promotion located in your favorite travel agency, you have part of the journey, but if you are still looking for the ideal hotel, we ask you to read this text that we have written for you based on our experiences. .
Surely you know that Turkey has 81 provinces, although they are not properly marked as such, some are rather conceived as cities and now some towns are identified as delegations, so you must pay attention to the time you are proposed to visit and the distance between a point and other. The most visited are Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana and Bursa, although Bodrum and Konya are also very popular.
Most of the packages you see on the most popular travel pages include a visit to four of these provinces and one to Cappadocia, to fly in a balloon, but perhaps you want to know others or maybe you will follow your own route, so it is necessary to check some tips so you do not make a trip too tired or so you will not waste days on the road. Turkey is a very big country and some distances between the most famous places may need you to use plane!
We will always recommend you to visit Istanbul for several days, because in that beautiful city you will find museums, mosques, bazaars, shops, bookstores, bars, shopping malls, restaurants and dream walks. You can only visit the Topkapi Museum and the Harem can take all day; Similarly, if you want to take a Ferry ride and climb the Galata Tower you will have to use several hours, since you will cross from Europe to Asia to get there, and more if you want to buy in the Grand Bazaar.
In truth it would be exhausting to try to know such beautiful places without enjoying them deeply, since sometimes the guides give very little time to walk, especially since the access rows are sometimes very long, particularly in summer. And you want to visit what was the house of Sultan Suleyman, right?
In Izmir you will want to know Ephesus, the last house of the Virgin Mary and the beaches of the Aegean Sea ... you can find a lot of tourist information about the places that have caught your attention, and once you have decided what to do next is find the hotel .
In general, it is important that you ask your travel agent what the characteristics of the place where you are going to host are, since they can offer you a Sufi Hotel, a pension that for its price will share the bathroom with a whole delegation of young people party-goers, one very far from what you want to visit or one where you will pay for one night what you could spend visiting Antalia and its turquoise waters.
If you are going to make a reservation using a website you should pay close attention to the hotels that you like, especially the comments that other travelers have left; We know that it always does but try to translate the comments you read in other languages to understand if the hotel has complaints about not respecting the reservations, because we had to live that the administrators of the place we chose were not aware of our arrival and the disappointment It was fatal. Can you imagine what it is like to have a complaint in Turkish or English to a call center, a switchboard whose headquarters are not in Turkey and you are?

Definitely, speaking of Istanbul, near Sultan Ahmed the hotels will have higher costs, they will be rustic (more charming because they will have a view of the Bosphorus and the Blue Mosque) and their rooms will be a bit small, they may not have a pool or many amenities , although the advantage of only walking a few blocks to get everywhere is insurmountable, since to go to one located in the Asian part you will have to use metrobus, metro, taxi and Ferry. Did you know that Istanbul is the second city with the worst traffic in the world?
In Izmir the hotels located in the Center are the ideal ones (the most economical ones), as their blue beaches are very popular and you may not be allowed to make a reservation for less than three days. We recommend you stay in Selcuk, where you can live with nature, between what was the Basilica of San Juan and the streets where they play jazz while you eat a succulent and fresh fish or fried calamari, just 20 minutes away from a beach club or the Roman columns of the Grand Theater of Ephesus.
We suggest you stay at a hotel called "Selena", whose friendly host will make you feel at home, as well as your family who is responsible for preparing the best borek cigara in the world for breakfast, which you will enjoy seeing an Ottoman castle. Its rooms are very modern, although from the outside you will see that it is in front of a very simple hotel, and you will only need five minutes to take the bus back to Istanbul or to go to Pamukkale and it will be a few steps from the typical shops where you can buy a colorful lamp cylinder whose cost can go from 300 to 2000 Mexican pesos.
We are sure that you will have a great time and that each experience is different; you can always find someone to guide you ... but you should definitely try to learn the basic words to ask for help in Turkish and try to speak the best English possible, as you will not easily find who speaks in Spanish. In Istanbul we had to meet a receptionist who did not speak Turkish because he was from Morocco, so we had to understand with a little bit of French and a very stumbled English. The truth was very kind and very fun to meet!
Finally we want to tell you that the best thing will always be to contact directly the official website of the hotel that you liked, since they will surely offer you a better price than you can find on another page, you can ask them everything you need to know so that You feel spoiled and happy during your stay. Ask at your hotel about the best walks and shows, as well as their promotions. Oh! Do not forget that you will always enjoy your trip to Turkey between May and October, avoid doing it from December to March because it will be spent in the rain and snow.
In our next text we will tell you a bit about what you can do in Bursa and Konya, for now we leave you a big greeting, hoping you can write us if you have already visited Turkey ... maybe we want to recommend the hotel you visited.
See you soon and happy trips!
