British holidaymakers are being offered the opportunity to win a luxurious, all-inclusive family getaway to Turkey, courtesy of Jet2holidays. The prize, part of The Independent Travel Awards, provides a seven-night stay for two adults and two children at the four-star-plus Aska Lara Resort & Spa in Antalya, a popular destination on Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
The comprehensive package includes return flights from any UK airport that operates services to Antalya, along with airport transfers to and from the hotel. Travellers will also benefit from a generous 22kg baggage allowance per person. The accommodation is based on a standard room with a land view, and the all-inclusive board covers meals and drinks throughout the stay for children up to 11 years old.
Jet2holidays, recognised as the largest tour operator in the UK, offers ATOL-protected holiday packages, providing financial security for consumers. The company is also Which? recommended across seven categories, a testament to its commitment to reliable service. This competition highlights the continued appeal of destinations like Turkey for UK families seeking sun-drenched holidays with comprehensive amenities.
For UK travellers considering a trip to Turkey, it's important to be aware of current travel advice. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) currently advises against all but essential travel to certain areas near the Syrian border, but popular tourist regions like Antalya are generally considered safe. British citizens do not require a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is always recommended to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers health emergencies, cancellations, and any unforeseen circumstances.
While the prize offers an all-inclusive experience, travellers should budget for potential extra costs such as excursions, additional activities not covered by the package, and personal spending money. Local currency in Turkey is the Turkish Lira, and while many resorts accept credit cards, having some local currency for smaller purchases is advisable. A typical meal outside of an all-inclusive resort might cost between £10-£25 per person, depending on the establishment.
