Budget Destinations in Turkey

Wondering where budget tours visit in Turkey? With a variety of stops and destinations along the way, there's something for everyone.

Istanbul

Istanbul sits at the crossroads of east and west. It's a major cosmopolitan city that has long been at the center of trade, culture, religion, and activity. The city is filled with beauty and historical sights that make it a world class travel destination. It attracts everyone from backpackers to high end luxury vacationers who appreciate the diversity and culture that flows through the city.

Pamukkale

Pamukkale, located in southwestern Turkey, is home to the famous travertine terraces, which is a stunning natural wonder that is recognized for its cascading white pools that are filled with turquoise thermal waters. It has been a popular attraction for centuries due to its unique landscape and the therapeutic properties of its mineral-rich waters. Visitors can walk barefoot along the travertine pools but swimming has been limited to preserve the environment. Pamukkale is also home to the ancient city of Hierapolis, where guests can explore ruins such as a well-preserved theater, ancient baths, and the Necropolis.

Kusadasi

Ephesus, located in western Turkey, is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world and a world-class destination for history enthusiasts.

Budget Tours vs. Independent Travel: Pros and Cons

If you're trying to decide whether to book an organized tour or plan the entire adventure yourself, keep in mind the following factors for each style of travel.

Which is cheaper?

Is independent travel cheaper than guided budget tours? The answer is not simple. Tours provide many of the services that you would otherwise pay for yourself on an independent trip. Hotels, transportation, food, entry tickets, guides, and activities are provided on organized tours, whereas you would pay for everything separately on your own. To deterine the difference in price, you would need to compare the combined price of everything in a tour with everything you would book separately. Sometimes you might want to stay in a cheaper hotel, or eat at a more expensive restaurant, so the price of a tour could be more or less than what you would otherwise pay on your own. Make sure you know what is included before making your comparison.

Also, before booking a tour, make sure you know exactly what is included as tour companies sometimes change their itineraries or included amenities to keep them updated with seasonal changes and customer interests.
