Hi all!
How is it that I never thought about this before? But lately it seemed like it dawned on me and I decided to write a post about it.
In fact, my friends and relatives have been using this method of travel since last year. But for some reason I didn’t think about it to tell others on the pages of my blog.
This scheme will be of interest to those who come to relax not in hotels, but in their own apartment or as a savage. And also for those who love active recreation with trips and travel. For those who prefer a “seal” vacation (just lying by the sea for days), this is not suitable for such people. Also, this is not suitable for those who travel to the sea so as not to dry out.
So let's get to the point.
Holidays in Turkey with your own car or How to travel from Antalya to Alanya.
The fact is that when coming to rest on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, for example in Mahmutlar Alanya, to their “dacha” or to relax as a savage (in a rented apartment), many tourists call their friends, ask to hire a transfer to Alanya, or when arriving they hire a transfer or taxi in an Aeroport. Some people take a public transfer to save money (it takes much longer than a VIP transfer). In general, vanity and confusion are created.
In fact, everything turns out to be much simpler and more profitable.
I’ll give you an example when tourists of 4 people arrive for vacation.
As a rule, most tourists fly to Antalya Airport, from there they hire an individual transfer to Alanya costing (60-80 euros) or a shared transfer for 40-50 euros. They arrive at an apartment in Alanya and the next day look for a car to the arena to walk around the outskirts of Alanya, go to the mountains, to Dim Chai, to Gazipasa, etc.
As a rule, renting an identical car in Alanya is a little more expensive than in Antalya or about the same, depending on the season.
After a week or two weeks of rest, they again wander around agencies and look for a transfer on the way back to the departure airport. The cost of the transfer service depends on the workload. If you read posts on social networks, there are cases when the transfer is late or does not come for clients (I have not encountered this myself). Thus creating a fuss on the day of arrival and departure.
But you can make everything simpler.
If one of the arriving tourists has a driver’s license and experience driving a car, then the procedure can be simplified and even reduced in price.
For example: you can use the website below, while still outside Turkey, to choose a car that suits you and make a reservation. Set the rental time from the day of arrival to the day of departure. Thus, you arrive in Antalya, get into a rented car and drive on your own to Alanya, enjoying the views along the way. You can stop at roadside cafes and various attractions, because once you get into your car, you have already started your vacation. On the day of departure, you return to Antalya in the same car, return the car and fly away.
What are the benefits?
You save on transfers.
Your vacation and journey begins from the moment you get behind the wheel of a car.
You save time on transfers there and back because your vacation begins immediately and ends before the plane.
You save on rent because it doesn’t matter to you how far from the sea the rented apartment is located, since you have a car. The closer to the sea, the higher the apartment rent, the more noise at night, etc.
You save on excursions, because wherever you are going, you have transport and you can safely go and arrive wherever you want.
You can do normal shopping at reasonable prices if you go to any other cities except Alanya. Take my word for it, you can save a lot of money.
You can pay for car rental from any card and even from a MIR card, if you have one.
Well, probably everyone can still find a bunch of other advantages.
Rental conditions are described in the rental application itself. There are also insurance conditions, on which the rental price will depend.
On my own behalf, I suggest taking a diesel car with an engine capacity of at least 1.3 cubic meters. They are more nimble and hardy in the mountains. If you don’t plan to travel to the mountains, then look at the circumstances there.
In general, have a good holiday and all the best.
If you need an apartment for rent, contact the MODERN GROUP real estate agency, this is my personal recommendation. If you have any questions, write, I will try to help.
I forgot the most important thing, you can use this travel scheme not only for a holiday in Alanya, but also in any city in Turkey and not only Turkey. I gave Alanya as an example, because I live here, nothing more.
