TURKEY TRAVEL QUESTION PLEASE?
Posted on 06. Feb, 2010 by admin in Europe travel
I hit watched whatever recording clips on YouTube, Turkic Travel.
But I didn’t wager some camper vans of some kind.
Do they hit tenting sites in Turkey?
Motorhomes?
Campervans?
I dislike staying at hotels, I such favour the tenting holiday.

Is that a meliorate locate to go camping?
Please Help!

You can find camper vans of all kinds in Istanbul but gas prices would disappoint you. its around 1 liter = 3 TL = 2 $ for now so its like 1 gallon = 9.60 $…
but if you insist about renting one : http://www.salyrentacaravan.com/en/default.asp in istanbul
http://www.egekaravan.com/ in izmir ( website doesn’t have EN choice but the phone numbers ).
last time i checked prices were between 150 – 300 TL per day ( equal to 100 – 200 $ ).
Distance between Istanbul – Izmir is 564 km. ( starting of best places on Aegean Shoreline )
you can drive from izmir to antalya along shoreline where all beaches and camping sites are. it is also around 600 km.
normal car rentals are around 35 Euro = 70 TL = 45 $ per day.
so my recommendation is to fly ( its around 70 $ to every place – from nearest to furthest- with plane )
or
with long-distance buses ( not more than 20 $ from istanbul to izmir aegean shoreline )
there are many pretty camping sites along aegean shoreline till the end of antalya. you can find many of them on every 50 60 km outside of cities and their numbers are increasing beside county centers. So there is no problem about camping sides.
you can also rent tents in camping sides as many backpackers or tourists do they are cheap and safe.
and plus if you are interested in nature there is an organization named Ta-Tu-Ta for organic farm stays. you can keep an eye on their websites : http://www.bugday.org/tatuta/index.php?lang=EN
you can stay in those farm stays as guest with humble turkish villagers who might share anything they have to comfort you and enjoy nature by paying 5-10 $ per day and meals are included or pay nothing in the way of organization just help the villagers on daily simple works and have a nature holiday for free.
but if you like to have some comfort and independence you can look for some hotels around county Marmaris in Mugla ( on aegean shoreline too ). There are many good places for nature adventures but my favorite is : http://www.klupamazon.com/
so… turning back to your question…. yes there are plenty camping sides , caravan renting companies in turkey. you can also find them just from airport or you can find plenty car rental companies at shoreline cities.
about bulgaria i can say that seaside of black sea is not reliable. though gas prices are low. but in my opinion, if you are a Naturist , i would use my choice on Turkey. No need to mention historical places but about nature , north coast has plateaus alike new zealand plateaus nature is worth to visit there but if you look for beaches Black Sea is not a good place to swim and a few camping sites though all depends on your vacation span. Aegean side ( west side ) is hot on summers and most of the tourists are preferring there. South – West coast is ( Antalya ) also hot on summers and has nice beaches but invaded by concrete since early 90′s. So if you are Naturist visit aegean region ( Marmaris , Alacati , Datca , Oludeniz etc.. ) with swimming or north ; Black sea region without having swimming in your plans.
Hope these informations will help you to figure out
Enjoy your trip…

I haven’t seen any camper vans or camp sites when I was visiting Turkey. I t was so cheap to stay B&B anyway.
Do not go to Bugaria – the food is horrible, there are pickpockets everywhere and the place is filthy.
For Naturism, visit Maspalomas or Formentera – the weather and beaches are magnificent.

This is only for the naturist part of your question. As far as I know, there are no designated naturist areas ( at least they’re not publicly announced ) in Turkey except for some yacht cruises.
