What is the best time to fly to Turkey? Can it be too coldin May (October)?
Traditionally the season for the Ukrainian tourists begins for May holidays, During this period the sea gets warm up to 18-20°С, the short-term rain is occasionally possible. Further air and the sea continue to get warm, yet it is reach the peak at the end of June to the middle of July. September - the most pleasant time of carrying out of holiday as heat falls down, and temperature of water high enough (if not the highest), and at night they are almost equal. September - superpopular time among many Europeans, therefore places in hotels during this period often find more difficultly, than during a summer season. The season for Ukrainian comes to an end at the end of October, because weather began to spoil sharply. In the afternoon the temperature will be high enough, you can quite become tanned, but it will be necessary to put on a jacket or an easy jacket in the evening. Take attention, that many Europeans (especially elderly) during this moment only have started to go actively to Turkey.

What Turkey beachers are like and how much do they cost?
Speaking about beaches, it is not necessary to imagine at once a picture from advertising Bounty. Beaches can differ on width, structure and color, to be natural or bulk, belong to hotel or municipality, to be in territory of hotel or through road from it, etc. We have tried to give the exhaustive information on each hotel.
Beaches of Turkey the diversified - for all tastes: sandy (Ichmeler, Belek, area the Torba in Bodrum), rebble (Kemer), sand-and-shingle (Marmaris), sandy beaches with a rebble entrance in the sea (Olu-Deniz). Sand-and-shingle beaches - large sand and a fine pebble up to 5 mm (for example, a beach of Marmaris). Under a fine pebble we understand stones from 0.5 up to 5 sm, as average from 5 up to 7 sm, under a large pebble - from 8 sm and is higher. Often the hotel is surrounded with artificial beaches - platforms (concrete or wooden) which in part fall asleep sand. The concrete platform is usually decorated with a stone laying. In other cases it can be a wooden platform, with an artificial covering. The input(entrance) in the sea can be sandy or rebble, flat or steep, fine or deep is direct at coast. In a number of hotels To go down in the sea it is possible only on special steps. On an entrance in the sea some hotels of Bodrum have rather large stones.
Also beaches can be municipal (to belong to city) and private. Private beaches belong either to hotels, or bars and restaurants at coast. Cost of a plank bed, a mattress and a umbrella(parasol) on city beaches of hotel makes from 0.5-2 $. Some expensive hotels meaningly overestimate the prices for using the beaches to frighten off tourists from the side. To use a site of a beach belonging to bars or restaurants, it is necessary to make there the order (for example, drinks), in this case for a plank bed and umbrella the payment does not undertake. Take attention, that in many hotels with own beaches, a mattress, nevertheless, is paid separately and costs 0.5-2 $.
How Much?
We result an estimated cost of services (for a season of 2005):
- the Dinner at small restaurant of a fast-food for one person - 10-15 $
- 1.5 litres of potable water - 0.6 $
- the glass of beer in a bar - 0.5-2 $
- Cost 1 minute of telephone call to Ukraine with a telephone card - 1 $
- Cost 1 minute of telephone call to Ukraine from hotel - 2-10 $
- Sim card the operator of local mobile communication - 9 $
- the fare by a taxi - 1 $ for 1 km. 1 litre of gasoline - 1.3 $
Whether it is accepted to leave the tip in Turkey?
As well as everywhere in Europe, here leaves the tip too, their quantity depends of your desire and from quality of the service given to you. At restaurant usually leave about 1-2 $.
Whether the shopping in Turkey is good? What usually people bring from Turkey?
Steady demand use a product from a leather and gold in Turkey. There is an opinion, that in Istanbul to do shopping more easy and more cheaply, but it is not always correct, as in resort cities you will find the exclusive things intended for tourists. To shop in Istanbul favourably only by the gross. From Turkey usually bring different glass eyes, ceramics Kutahya, sets glasses for tea, spiceries, apple tea, items for cooking coffee, carpets, color glass, figure from onyx, silver tablewares and other souvenirs.
What airports on Aegean and mediterranean coast of Turkey are? How much time does it take to reach a hotel?
We usually use three airports - Dalaman (basically serves resorts Marmaris and Fethie) and Milas (basically serves resort Bodrum) and the airport of Antalya (basically serves resorts Belek, Manavgat, Side, Kemer, Chamuva, Tekirova). Pure time in a way (without stops) from Dalaman to Marmaris is occupied approximately 1.5 hours, road from Dalaman to Fethie - about 1 hour. To reach hotels of peninsula Bodrum from airport Milas, it is necessary on the average about an hour.
Do not forget to make the amendment on a technical stop in road (15 - 30 minutes), and also that fact, that in the same bus there are tourists from different hotels, and all of them need to be settled. So, if our visitor lives in the remote hotel, quite probably, that duration of its transfer will make about 3 hours. Quite often tourists who are having a rest in Bodrum, arrive in Dalaman or, on the contrary, tourists of Marmaris take off through Milas, that slightly extends time of a transfer, and in the extremely rare cases (for example, tourists were late aboard the plane and take off the nearest accessible flight) transfers from the airport Antalya are spent.
Pure time in a way (without technical stops):
| Dalaman - Marmaris | 1.5 hour |
| Dalaman-Fethie | 1 hour |
| Dalaman-Sarigerme | 20 min |
| Dalaman-Bodrum | 3.5 hours |
| Dalaman-Antalya | 4.5 hours |
| Milas-Bodrum | 1 hour |
| Milas-Bodrum | 6 hours |
| Antalya-Marmaris | 6 hours |
| Antalya-Bodrum | 8 hours |
