Holidays to Turkey – Money-Saving Tips on Car Rentals

Based on the Open Travel website, Turkey is one of the countries that one should visit if he or she is planning a vacation. Many travellers, adventurers, and backpackers all over the globe spend the cheapest holidays to Turkey to experience its amazing scenery, ancient ruins, historical towns, delectable cuisine, and warm people. Best of all, Turkey is a relatively affordable country when compared to other Mediterranean destinations, and travellers tend to enjoy fantastic bargains.

If you want to truly explore this wondrous country and not being confined in the hotel, resort, or city, you may need to rent a car. Here are a few tips on how to save money when renting cars.

1. Before you leave for Turkey, check the Web first. Online travel sites and car rental service’s sites have lots of great deals. Doing so also gives you a sense of what is available and how much such service costs.

2. Note that a price that appears unbelievably low may not be as low as it seems when every aspect of the rental is added. Therefore, get in touch with the rental service provider and clarify the taxes, surcharges, and other fees that you are expected to pay.

3. Look for deals. Travel and car rental service operators often provide weekend discounts or special rates. When hunting for such deals, be on the lookout for fields where you can enter a promotional or discount code. These can definitely be money-savers as you will be entitled to fantastic discounts.

4. If possible, opt for a smaller car. Just think: do you really require a large car? If your luggage can fit in a compact, then choose a compact automobile. You will notice that car rental companies run out of smaller, economy models since they are the most popular.

5. Look out for restrictions on where you can take the vehicle. Remember that the “unlimited mileage” rates that some rental companies market are limited to only a certain area. If you plan to cross state lines, for instance, you may be charged extra, and you’ll end up in shock as you receive an unexpectedly high bill.

6. Check if you really require extra insurance that rental agencies usually recommend. Most often, you don’t need it, and your current insurance policy, credit-card agreement, or auto insurance may have provisions to cover your rented car.

Keep these tips in mind when renting cars during your cheap holidays to other places in the world.

How To Stay Clear From Traveller’s Tummy

Travelling is all about experiencing and learning new things. You get to spend time at picturesque places and blend in with the locals. Travelling is also one gastronomic experience. In fact, many people travel to another country solely for a search of the best culinary experience the place has to offer.

It’d definitely be a treat for you to try out all those different food stalls you see on the streets. You, however, would still want to be careful with what you eat and not avoid getting a stomach flu.

Here are some ways on how to make your stomach happy while tickling your taste buds with the region’s delights during your sojourn.

1. First, you have to realise that the meals you eat at home isn’t necessarily safer than the food offered in a foreign land. The cause of intestinal distress, sometimes referred to as traveller’s tummy, usually stems from the fact that your body isn’t accustomed to the meal. Thus, your body needs to acclimatize to exotic food.

2. If you are not accustomed to eating raw foods, then avoid eating raw meat dishes. Disease-causing bacteria thrives in raw meat. The same holds true with seafood dishes. Make sure meat, egg, and seafood dishes are thoroughly cooked.

3. Drinks served hot are undamaging as bacteria do not survive in hot water. It is best to drink the beverage hot and without potentially contaminated milk. If not having milk is not an option, go for pasteurised milk or cream that are packed in sealed containers.

4. Fresh animal’s milk is good, however, they need to be pasteurised to make it fit for human consumption. This applies to other dairy products such as yogurt and cheese.

5. When purchasing dishes from a food establishment, order your meal well done, and eat them while they are still really hot. Be wary of dishes that are characterised by raw vegetables or runny eggs.

6. If possible, observe the handlers who are preparing the food. Food places that seem to have no good sanitation practices should not be patronised. You should avoid food from food handlers or servers who are touching their face, chewing gum, smoking, sneezing or coughing near food, or having dirty hands or fingernails.

7. Prior to consuming fruits, make sure to have it washed. Chemical sprayed on the crops prior to harvesting can be washed out.

8. Prior to taking cheap holidays to Turkey, Spain, Greece or some other country on the globe, it’s a wise decision to follow an old, confirmed food-safety tip: carry spices. Spices such as chilies and turmeric have anti-bacterial qualities which make foods safer to consume. Furthermore, they can make meals taste better still. You can bring your favourite spices or purchase them domestically.

Now you know tips on how to keep healthy while enjoying a gastronomic experience. Your satisfaction guaranteed, you will truly cherish your vacation not only for the places and sounds also for the flavours offered.
