We are going through very difficult days as if we are in a movie.. Unfortunately, there is no one left who is not affected economically and psychologically.. Our behavior, our daily life, our habits had to change. Now our priorities are different; We are in days where we need to be more careful about hygiene than we have ever been before.
We can’t go to a new place, let alone a place, we can’t look out the window.. We wanted to share with you the holiday suggestions that we think are the most risk-free for ourselves when we were thinking about what to do, what to write.
As we all know, measures have been taken against Covid-19 actively for 2 months in Turkey.. But this time has come to an end.. Hairdressers, shopping malls, banks are starting to open little by little. As of June 1, workplaces will start to open by adhering to the “normalization” movement encouraged by the state.. How soon will our lives return to “normal”? Or are we really waking up to that fancy word “New Normal” we read everywhere and nothing will ever be the same again? May the world and all humanity learn something from this process; of course life goes on. Of course, somehow, we will see new places, step on that beach, swim in that sea, by paying more attention, wishing that all people respect each other.. So, what will it be like, what can be done?. Hotels are currently closed. Most hotels canceled their reservations during the summer. Hotels cannot rightly predict what kind of summer awaits them.. People ask, “How are we going to have another vacation?” They think.. We all need to be very careful, as the virus is waiting to spread at the slightest carelessness.. We have all taken the precautions to be taken in our minds: Let’s follow social distance, use our masks, do our disinfection processes with attention and care.. The same procedures should be applied by the hotels with care and attention.. For example, one of the first question marks that come to my mind is open buffets It is not possible to practice social distance here.. A little bit of a la carte restaurants; It is possible to manage the interior with control or appointment.. So, can social distance be provided on public beaches? It is very difficult..
We are sure that the hotels are thinking about how to attract our customers and how to make them feel comfortable at this point.. There are many arrangements to be made in terms of logistics.. There are many points to consider, from the controls of the common areas to the distance between the sun loungers by the pool.
There is a lot of time to think in the days of Corona.. When I dream of a holiday that will minimize risk, I think of going to a caravan, camping holiday or boutique hotel / aparthotel.. In order to elaborate these suggestions a little more, let’s look for an answer to the question of how we can take a vacation during Corona days:
Caravan Holiday
Advantages
The biggest plus is to have someone you know and be healthy by your side.. Caravan vacation is a kind of free vacation, you can stop wherever you want, when you see the crowd, you can run away and go to a quieter place.. It is very easy and fast to do this.. Your kitchen, your room, your toilet, everything is right next to you.. If you are a nuclear family, a caravan vacation will be suitable for you.
Disadvantages
If we think that you do not have a caravan, you will need to rent a caravan, and on top of that, travel expenses (gas, highway, etc.) will come.. If you have never taken a caravan vacation before and are a little self-conscious, the caravan may force you.. However, when the benefit – cost comparison is made, the caravan stands as the best option these days.
Camping Holiday
Advantages
If you have your own tent and cooking materials, stay calm You can have a peaceful holiday away from the crowd by going to the sauteed places we have described.. There are calm and unexplored coves, you can set up here with your tent.. If you say you don’t want the sea or anything, you want to escape to nature, choose a safe accommodation place for yourself considering the wild boars and bears.. For example, walking on the Lycian Way can be a good experience.. A camping holiday will be more affordable than a caravan holiday.
Disadvantages
If you have never camped before, it will force you.. Because we do not recommend going to a camping area and set up a tent during this camping holiday, you will be in an environment of 100% nature in mountains, stones and soil.. Don’t try to do anything you will be unhappy about just for a holiday.
Boutique Hotels
Advantages
Boutique hotels are undoubtedly one of the shining stars of this period.. It is one of the preferred places due to its small number of rooms and spacious common areas.. Generally, there are only breakfast rooms in boutique hotels, and during this period, most hotels are considering taking it to the room as a special service or solving it in intermittent and ventilated common areas.. There are boutique hotels you can prefer in beautiful coastal areas such as Ölüdeniz and Kaş.
Disadvantages
The biggest disadvantage is cost.. We think that the accommodation prices, which are above the standard prices even in the normal period, will increase even more due to the high demand in this period.
Apartment Hotels
Advantages
The number of rooms in apart hotels is low. Since there is a kitchen inside, your dependence on the outside is only for the sea and the sun.. You can cook your own food. Aparthotels usually also have a large balcony.. In the evening, you can relax with the sound of cicadas here.. Its cost is quite affordable compared to a boutique hotel, and it will be a comfortable holiday for families of 4-5 people.. No one will be surprised if you bring your own plate, pot or even linen..
Disadvantages
It is likely to be relatively crowded and noisy compared to boutique hotels.. Another thing to consider is hygiene.. Unsupervised, relatively little control. It is important to choose a place where you can truly trust its cleanliness.. At the same time, apart hotels do not have their own beaches, you have to use the public beach.. You can catch the calm moment by going a little early in the morning.. Of course, the places with paid entrance as “Beach Club” will organize themselves, if you do not want to join the chaos of the public beach, you can choose these places.
Yacht / Gulet Charter
Advantages
Nobody. you are not tied, you are free from the moment you do your shopping and get on the boat and you have the opportunity to have a holiday without ever stopping by the land.. You can have a holiday to the fullest in beautiful bays and calm seas.
Disadvantages
Very expensive. It was a short summary, but that’s the case.. Gulet charters for 3 or 4 people exceeded 15,000 TL for 5 days in May.. It is a fact that these prices will increase even more in the days of Corona.. I think it is one of the best options for those who have the opportunity.
Take care of yourselves, there are many more beautiful days ahead, and never ever let your guard down.
