A great way to find the real good beach travel deals is just surfing the internet. This is a good way to do it, it you’re not too picky when it comes to hotels and you are not travelling during high season. Just using the internet and doing it all yourself is not always the best way to go, sometimes the old fashioned travel agent might be a better option.

The travel agent industry is very competitive these days, so most travel agencies try to increase the quality and the type of services they offer. You also got the specialized travel agencies, searching for a beach vacation could be considered a specialization, but I’m thinking more of romantic vecations, adventure vecations and so on. It’s also a good idea too book far ahead if you want to get the best deals out there, especially during high season.

The city of Alanya is devided in two by a little mountain, and on top of it you can find a large fort from year 1200. On both sides of this mountain you’ll find long sand beaches. Apart from just sunbathing and swimming, you can also do waterskiing, beach volleyball, paragliding and snorkling.

When it comes to restaurants and nightlife Alanya is pretty good. The food is cheap and there is a lot to chose from. There are also several bars in the city and drinks are fairly cheap too. On a holiday in Turkey you should also try the Turkish bath at least once.

The first one on the list would be the Canarry Islands. Lots of people from Europe travel here every year, and there are good reasons for that. The infrastructure for tourism is great, the weather is generally very good and the beaches are numerous and real beautifull. The most popular cities here would be Playa del Ingels, Maspalomas and Puerto Rico.

The second destination I’d like to mention is Florida. It’s fairly cheap to have a beach vacation there these days, and there several beautifull places to go. The weather is generally pretty good, it’s not called the Sunshine State for nothing.

The third destination and maybe the one where you get the most value for your money is Egypt. The hotels are generally quite nice and they are much cheaper than what you find in the US or Europe. The food here is real cheap too, while alchohol compared to that is pretty expensive. The best and most popular location here would be Sharm el Sheik.

This island is perfect for a week in the sun, unless you have a problem with being at a charter destination like this place is. It is the center of the three northern islands of the Sporades and thus lots of tourists find their way here. There are lots of beautifull beaches on the island though, so you should be able to find one that’s not overly crowded.

The main village on Skiathos is a pretty busy town. You will find lots of bars, restaurants, travel angencies and souvenier shops here. The nightlife is also pretty good cause of all the tourists in the area, and you should definitely spend a few nights checking out all the pubs and discos.
