Tours to Turkey — Last-Minute Beach Holidays

Tours to Turkey mean a beach holiday on the Mediterranean and Aegean seas: Antalya, Kemer, Belek, Side, Alanya, Bodrum and all-inclusive hotels for any budget. The beach season runs from May to October. While Ukraine's airspace remains closed, tours depart from Chisinau, Rzeszow, Katowice, Warsaw and Bucharest, and the flight takes 2–3 hours. There are also bus tours from major Ukrainian cities with pick-ups along the route.

Departure Airports for Tours to Turkey from Ukraine

There are currently no direct flights from Ukrainian airports, so tours to Turkey depart from the nearest airports in neighbouring countries:

• Chisinau (Moldova) — the closest for Kyiv, Odesa and Vinnytsia; about 2 hours to Antalya and the largest number of last-minute deals;
• Rzeszow, Katowice, Warsaw (Poland) — convenient from western Ukraine; the flight takes about 3 hours;
• Bucharest (Romania) — for those travelling via the Romanian border; about 2 hours to Antalya;
• Kosice, Bratislava (Slovakia) and Budapest (Hungary) — convenient from Zakarpattia;
• Prague, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn — for Ukrainians currently living in the EU.

You can reach the departure airport by train, bus or car. In the search, choose your departure city: the price of the same hotel can differ noticeably between airports.

Bus Tours to Turkey from Ukraine

If you do not want to travel to an airport in another country, choose a bus tour. The bus departs from major Ukrainian cities, picks up travellers along the route and drives through Romania and Bulgaria to the resort. Such tours are usually cheaper than package holidays with flights, and they run from May until autumn.

The bus tour price includes:

• bus travel from major Ukrainian cities with pick-ups along the route;
• transfer from the stop to the hotel and back;
• hotel accommodation with meals according to the chosen plan;
• medical insurance.

Good to know:

• Where the buses go: mainly to the Antalya coast — Kemer, Antalya, Belek, Side and Alanya.
• Journey time: approximately 38–40 hours from Kyiv to Antalya; from other cities, it depends on the route.
• A biometric passport is required: the route passes through EU countries, so an ID card is not enough. The passport must be valid for at least 180 days from the date of entry into Turkey.
• Pick-up points and the schedule depend on the tour operator and are shown in the tour description.

Turkey Resorts and Prices

* Approximate price for two, one week all inclusive, departing from Chisinau. See the search on the site for current prices.

The price depends on the season, departure airport, meal plan and hotel category. Prices are usually lowest in Alanya and Side and highest in Belek and Bodrum, where large 5* hotels prevail. With small children, the sandy beaches of Belek, Side, Lara or Alanya are more convenient; Kemer has pebble beaches, but its water is especially clear.

Beyond the beaches, Turkey offers Istanbul with Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus, hot-air balloons over Cappadocia and the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, all popular excursions from the coastal resorts.

Last-Minute Tours to Turkey: How to Find a Good Deal

A last-minute tour is a package departing in the next few days, discounted by the tour operator to fill the remaining seats on the plane and rooms in the hotel. It costs less than a regular tour, but the choice of hotels and dates is limited. To avoid overpaying:

• Search with flexible dates: ±2–3 days around your preferred date and 6–9 nights.
• Compare several departure airports: Chisinau, Rzeszow, Katowice, Warsaw, Bucharest.
• Choose the shoulder season: May and the first half of June or late September and October — the sea is warm and prices are lower than in July–August.
• Book July and August in advance: there are few last-minute deals in high season, so early booking is better value.
• Compare all-inclusive and ultra all-inclusive: the price difference is often small, while ultra usually includes imported drinks and often à la carte restaurants.
• Check the beach and the hotel's location: a beachfront hotel with a private beach costs more, but it is more convenient with children.
• Check your passport: it must be valid for at least 180 days from the date of entry.

If your dates are fixed (school holidays, scheduled leave), compare last-minute deals with early booking: you will have a much wider choice of hotels.

Turkey Visa and Documents for Ukrainian Citizens

• No visa required: Ukrainian citizens can stay in Turkey for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
• An international passport valid for at least 180 days from the date of entry. If you travel via Poland, Romania or other EU countries, it must be biometric.
• ID card: under the agreement between Ukraine and Turkey, you can travel with it instead of an international passport, but it is intended for direct trips from Ukraine. If you fly from Moldova or the EU, take your international passport.
• Medical insurance is usually already included in the tour; you can extend it if needed.
• Children travel with their own international passport. Check the current rules for leaving Ukraine under martial law on the website of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine or with our agency.

What the Tour Price Includes

Included:

• return flights from the selected airport;
• airport — hotel — airport transfer;
• accommodation in the selected hotel;
• meals according to the chosen plan, most often all inclusive;
• basic medical insurance;
• fuel surcharge — usually already included in the price.

Paid separately:

• travel from Ukraine to the departure airport;
• excursions, tips, trip cancellation insurance.

On a bus tour, bus travel with pick-ups along the route replaces the flight, and a stop — hotel — stop transfer replaces the airport transfer.
