Is Turkey a budget destination?

I was pleasantly surprised at how low the prices in Turkey are. It is certainly not as cheap as Southeast Asia, but for a few euros you can eat delicious food and accommodation is not expensive. If you travel by public transport and eat mainly at local restaurants, a trip through Turkey is certainly doable on a small budget!

Turkey is a surprising location anyway. Outside of the standard beach resorts, the country has so much to offer, beautiful culture, very varied landscapes and delicious food! This is certainly not the last time we will visit Turkey, I am already looking forward to the next trip through this beautiful country!

What is a realistic daily travel budget for Turkey?

As a backpacker, a trip through Turkey is realistic for an amount of 35 euros per person per day. This daily budget for Turkey includes travel by public transport, sleeping in hostels and cooking as much as possible.

Do you have a larger budget? Then 60 euros per person per day is a large daily budget for Turkey. For this, you sleep in nice hotels and B & Bs, eat outside and travel by plane.

What does a trip through Turkey cost?

If you travel as a backpacker for two weeks through Turkey with a daily budget of 35 euros per day, you will lose an average of € 490 euros per person. For a tour through Turkey with a slightly larger budget, you spend an average of € 840 per person.

Note: these daily budgets for Turkey do not include airline tickets.
