Turkey as a resort

Posted by Ryan

Turkey has always been a hotspot for Europeans for a holiday. The main hotspots of Turkey include: Bodram and Istanbul. Turkey, though nearly a Middle-Eastern country, is still trying to enter the EU (European Union).  Bodram is the main site in Turkey for party goers, as it has a large amount of bars and entertainment on offer, as well as large coastlines.

The country’s main religion is Muslim, although it is usually very practical, just like Christianity is in England. The climate in Turkey is usually very hot, usually over twenty-five degrees in the summer, though they tend to have cold winters.

Self catering

Posted by Ryan

A self catering holiday is where you pay for the holiday, and then pay for your own food and drink, whether It be from the hotel or elsewhere. The advantage of a self catering holiday is that you can explore various restaurants and bars as you aren’t constrained to the hotel (as you would in an all inclusive).

The disadvantage of a self catering holiday, is that you would most likely spend more money, due to having to buy the food and drink constantly, which may also include travel there and back to supermarkets, café’s and other food selling places.

Spain as a resort

Posted by Ryan

Spain is a very popular holiday resort, for many age ranges. The most visited hotspots in Spain include: Madrid, Barcelona, Ibiza, and Majorca. Spain is part of the EU, and therefore uses the European currency.

The reason Spain is so popular, is because of the climate, beaches and cities. The main type of cuisine in Spain includes chicken dishes (i.e. red pepper sauce with chicken etc), vegetable dishes and beef dishes. The main area of party life in Spain is in Ibiza, in San Antonio Bay, where there is a whole strip of bars, right by the beach called the west end.

England as a resort

Posted by Ryan

England itself is surprisingly a holiday resort as well. Some may view England as an unpredictable country, due to its climate continually changing. Many like to visit the country though due to the illustrious history here, as well as captivating sites, including Stonehenge. Other sites include Parliament, Alderley Edge and several sites in London.

Some people even live in England, finding the climate more bearable, as well as the jobs found in the country. Main holiday destinations in England include: Brighton, Cornwall, Somerset, Manchester, London and Birmingham. The main currency used in England is its own, even though the country is part of the European Union.

All inclusive holidays

Posted by Ryan

When going on holiday, some people prefer to book a holiday known as ‘all inclusive’. All inclusive holidays are where you get your food and your drink ‘free’ in the hotel that you have paid for.

This is a good idea if you would rather spend the money on ornaments or souvenirs. It also means you may possibly gain an idea of that country’s cuisine. The drawback of an all inclusive holiday, is that you would be less up for going out to have a meal outside the hotel, as this would mean missing out on a free meal, and spending more money than you had to.
