Turkey remains the #1 destination for Russian travelers: direct flights, no visa required, all-inclusive for any budget. But "Turkey" is a broad concept. Here's how the resorts differ and how to pick the right one for your goals.
Antalya vs Bodrum vs Alanya
which to choose
01
Antalya (Belek, Side, Kemer)
Mass tourism, the best all-inclusive hotels, pebble and sand beaches. Ideal for families. Hotels: Maxx Royal, Regnum Carya, Kempinski.
02
Bodrum
The most European resort. Nightlife, yachts, boutique hotels. Not for those seeking quiet. The Mandarin Oriental here is the best on the Aegean.
03
Alanya
20–30% cheaper than Antalya. More affordable apartments. Good for a budget getaway.
04
Belek (for golf)
8 golf courses within 10 km. Gloria Hotels, Regnum — Turkey’s best sports infrastructure. Very quiet.
All-Inclusive: What's Included
and when it pays off
Turkey's standard all-inclusive covers: three meals a day plus snacks, most alcohol, animation programs, and water slides (at 5-star hotels). Ultra all-inclusive adds imported alcohol, à la carte restaurants, and spa treatments. For families with children, it's always the better deal: no worrying about prices.
Best months: May and October — warm (+26–30°C), beaches aren't crowded, and prices run 25–35% below the July peak.
