Holidaying In Italy Or Turkey – What Country Is Right For You?

Italy and Turkey are two holiday destinations that have majorly grown in popularity among travellers and there are valid reasons for that. Both countries have a lot to offer to visitors and a lot of attractions to see. This popularity spike has led to a lot of various travelling packages to these countries being offered by companies, which makes a decision making process between these two even harder. Are you in the same boat and can’t decide which country is right for you?

In order to make a decision you will not regret later, you have to have a clear understanding of what these countries have to offer to you specifically and what are you looking forward to getting from this vacation. Oftentimes air and water temperatures are decisive factors when going on a holiday. Both countries have warm climates, so if you are just looking to have some fun time sunbathing by the sea, you might want to drill it down further a little bit and find out more about these two most ancient countries in the world.

Turkey holidays are going to cost you less that is a fact. There are so many different premium hotels and so many resort places and all of them are competing against each other, hence the lower prices. While on Turkey holidays, 95% of hotels offer an “all inclusive” packages and this make them a perfect place to spend your holiday at if you are on a tight budget or travelling in large groups. It’s a no-brainer that you can save a lot of money on eliminating eating out habits, especially if you do not know the local area that well and are not familiar with local restaurants and cafes. 

When going on Turkey holidays, make sure to book your stay at a hotel you researched well before ordering. TripAdvisor is a great place to research Turkish hotels and there are thousands of unbiased reviews from real tourists.

What is so special about going on holidays to Italy? As opposed to Turkey, Italy is not a cheap country and offers slightly different way of holidaying, but there are a lot of other great things to do rather than just eating in your hotel room three times a day and spending all your days sunbathing. There are a lot of interesting museums and historical sites for you to visit. However, if you will want to visit Italian attractions, you will have to rent a car, since the public transportation here is not as advanced as in other European parts. Italy is basically the creator of fashion industry and is the mother country of many worlds’ famous designers, so if you are an avid shopper, you must go on holidays to Italy.

I’ve travelled to Italy (Tuscany and Florence) and Turkey (Alanya). Both times I stayed in a 4-star hotel and the service in Turkey was a lot better than compared to Italy. Probably this is because of the competition, which forces them to fight for every client and make him pleased as much as they can. This was my personal experience though, so the choice is up to you, but I hope this information I shared with you will help you to decide!
