When we get to Turkey I always book a holiday somewhere local, I just like to have people wait on me for a change. 


Travel republic, Ovacik is always cheap along with Hisaronu, Calis for the life of me I know why is more expensive. 
At the moment Travel republic for the last week in August Ovacik B&B total cost for the week £84  to £108  Anna apart Calis £114 self catering Aymes hotel Calis B&B £120


The above is for 2 people 24th August to 31stAugust
Just how cheap do you want?

That is a brilliant price Loz, we are not fussy at all re the hotel being great as we have an apartment in Calis, I booked Easyjet flights one way only as a lot of things in my life were up and down at the time and did not know when I would be returning, however a flight back is extortionate so that is why we are looking into a package deal as at the moment some that I have found are cheaper then a return flight, if I can not find anything sensibly priced we will just stay in England for the week, I refuse to pay £400+ per person for a one way flight, it has now become a matter of principle to me  :)thanks for all the replys, I shall keep on looking   :D

I've wondered about this idea of booking a package holiday and then not using the hotel but it always makes me nervous as I hear rumours once about them cancelling your homeward bound flight if you don't use the hotel.  Has anyone else heard that?  What's the best way around it?

Mmm... Good question.  Not sure as I've never tried it.  I guess they'd know if you never turned up to check in which probably answers my question.  Just check in.  Might they also notice if the cleaners never need to clean the room?  Not sure.  If anyone has tried this and has any tips I'd be grateful because it sounds like a great idea.   ;D

We did it and told the rep at Dalaman arrivals that we'd be staying elsewhere. She couldn't have been less interested.

We did this once many years ago, we told the rep that we would not be using the hotel, or the flight return, they just said thanks and could sell it on, as for the hotel if you do not show up it does not matter, the flight is still yours.
