Here are the tools that I use when traveling to my own country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the time-tested tools from my own experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Rental a Cars<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you wish to explore coastal areas like Antalya, Bodrum, or Kusadasi and the countryside like Cappadocia, renting a car will increase your freedom and help you to discover more places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When possible, I always rent a car on my travels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like escaping the crowded city centers, exploring secluded beaches and authentic villages, and going into the less beaten paths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey is an excellent country for day trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Discover Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Discover Cars is an excellent search engine for car hire and my personal favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover Cars shows the best options from many Turkish and international car rental companies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to check Discover Cars<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Rental Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I generally check the prices of different brands using Rentalcars.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can compare the prices of the biggest international rental car companies on this website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to check Rental Cars.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Turkey hosts more than 50 million tourists every year. For this reason, you will have no trouble finding hotels, holiday villages, and similar accommodations in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My other favorite option is all-inclusive hotels. I love them because once you pay, everything is free. All I care about is which activity to spend my time on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hotels usually charge per person. Private houses have fixed rental prices and do not charge per person basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Booking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Booking is one of the world’s leading online travel agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking’s primary service is to provide a platform for booking hotels, but it has expanded to include a range of other accommodations like apartments, guest houses, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booking is by far my favorite website for organizing my stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to check Booking.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Expedia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expedia is another search engine that is very popular in the USA and North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expedia is my second favorite website for booking my stays because it is not possible to book with booking.com in Turkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to check Expedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Vrbo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vrbo represents over 2 million vacation rentals in 190 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vrbo is my latest favorite. Vrbo is also the biggest competitor of Airbnb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I even browse Vrbo just to amaze myself with different vacation rentals all around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to check Vrbo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Hostelworld<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hostels are usually cheap hotels with dorms and shared facilities<\/strong> instead of private rooms and private facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IIf you are looking for the cheapest accommodation with value, hostels may be the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can search 30,000 hostels in over 180 countries with Hostelworld<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"
Bird’s-eye view of Istanbul from a plane.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Turkish Airlines (THY) is a well-known Turkish airline company and is competing with top brands in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pegasus, Anadolu Jet, Onur Air, and SunExpress are Turkish airline companies with budget prices. Corendon and Turkish Airlines provide the best service quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish Airlines is a bit more expensive than others. Anadolu Jet is a subsidiary of Turkish Airlines that offers lower prices and better service quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Expedia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love Expedia when searching for plane tickets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expedia has small features which help you find the best and cheapest ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click to go to Expedia’s flight reservation page.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Google Flights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Google Flights<\/a> is another source to check for flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a new feature of Google that I find very helpful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
