Last minute offers in Turkey from Craiova are a chance to go on holiday at a great price and enjoy warm sea and vivid impressions. Here is a selection of the best hotels, resorts and beaches for an ideal trip.
Why last minute deals to Turkey from Craiova are worth it
• Real savings of 30–50% compared to standard tour packages, with the same hotel and all inclusive services.
• Direct charter flight from Craiova to Antalya, transfer to the hotel and a complete holiday package in one booking.
• A wide choice of resorts: Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, Belek, Side and also the Aegean coast with mountains and turquoise lagoons.
• 4★ and 5★ hotels with aquaparks, Ultra All Inclusive, kids’ clubs, SPA centres and rich evening entertainment.
• A long beach season from May to November, with many periods where good prices meet great weather.
Why last minute offers are so advantageous
Cheap last minute packages to Turkey, sold just a few days before departure, are a great deal for everyone: hotels, travel agencies and, of course, the residents of Craiova who value smart savings.
Why are last minute holidays so cheap? It’s simple: hotels try to sell the remaining rooms for specific dates and offer generous discounts. Tour operators create packages with minimal mark-up, but fill the charter flights. And travellers get a full holiday at the price of a weekend — flights, transfers, accommodation, insurance and even extra bonuses — as a gift for taking a quick decision. The main thing is not to hesitate too long: such offers melt as fast as ice cream at midday in the Turkish sun!
Savings: the real benefit of last minute holidays in Turkey
A last minute package to Turkey from Craiova (flight + all inclusive hotel) with a 30–50% discount means saving around €600 for a family. Don’t believe it? Let’s check: a standard package for two to Antalya, Alanya or Belek costs about €1500, but as a last minute promotion it can be bought for around €900! On top of that, all inclusive meals in Turkish hotels reduce your daily spending: if lunch for two costs €25–35 and dinner €30–40, the weekly total easily reaches €500–600. With the package, everything is already included! That’s why people from Craiova love last minute deals: sea, sun and complete comfort — with no extra costs and extra money left for excursions, shopping and delicious Turkish sweets!
Last minute holidays to Turkey for families
Last minute offers to Turkey from Craiova with direct flights are a practical and convenient option for family holidays without layovers and stress. Of course, getting the kids ready for a trip in just a few days is a challenge, but after a short flight you will already be relaxing under the Turkish sun. Here are our tips for organising a holiday in Turkey with children:
On the Mediterranean coast (Antalya, Side, Alanya, Belek) you get wide sandy beaches, warmer water, a gentle entrance to the sea and hotels fully adapted for families: mini-aquaparks, children’s pools, playgrounds, age-based kids’ clubs, animation and evening shows. In the restaurants you’ll find highchairs and menus for almost all ages (except newborns under 1), and cots can be provided in the rooms on request.
The Aegean coast (Marmaris, Bodrum, Fethiye) is the choice of those looking for a mild climate and mountain scenery. Beaches here are often pebbly, the water is even clearer and the air cooler, but hotel prices are higher and the children’s infrastructure is less developed.
Seasonality in Turkey: when is the best time to go?
When do last minute offers to Turkey appear? Cheap packages from Craiova can show up at any time from May to November. The important thing is to know in which month the discounts match good weather.
May — the start of the season: gentle sun (+25…+28°C), refreshing sea (+21…+22°C) and pleasant weather without extreme heat. An excellent choice for a calm, budget-friendly holiday.
June — the perfect blend of savings and full summer vibes. Air temperatures reach +30…+33°C, the water warms to +25°C and the resorts are not yet crowded.
July and August — for those ready for the full Turkish heat: air up to +38…+40°C and sea up to +30°C. This is the period of the biggest discounts — you can save up to 50% compared to the usual price.
September — velvet season with mild temperatures (+30…+32°C), warm sea (+28°C) and lower prices.
October — the sea is still warm, air temperatures are around +26°C and hotels offer a very relaxed atmosphere.
November — great chances for a very affordable holiday: last minute packages from Craiova appear at below-average prices while the air remains at +22…+24°C and the water up to +22°C.
Top 5 popular beaches in Turkey
When booking a spontaneous holiday to Turkey, it is important to consider not only the price but also the hotel’s location in relation to the best beaches — this directly affects comfort and the overall experience.
Cleopatra Beach (Alanya) — one of Turkey’s most famous sandy beaches, with a gentle entrance into the sea. It is great for holidays with children, while the historic buildings around add special charm.
Moonlight Beach (Kemer) — a well-kept crescent-shaped beach with fine pebbles and a gentle entrance into the water, surrounded by greenery. There is good infrastructure for families: playgrounds, cafes and equipment rental.
Lara Beach (Antalya) — a long sandy strip with excellent infrastructure, perfect for holidays in all inclusive hotels. It is one of the most convenient beaches for tourists with children.
Side Beach (Side) — fine sand and the proximity of ancient ruins make this place attractive for quiet holidays. It is perfect for walks, holidays with children and cultural excursions.
Oludeniz Beach (Fethiye, Aegean coast) — a pebbly beach with a unique lagoon and crystal clear turquoise water. It is a popular spot for active recreation and paragliding, combining mountain scenery with good tourist infrastructure.
The best resorts in Turkey: top 5
Which seas wash Turkey’s shores and which resorts are considered the best?
Although the country has coasts on the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea, the main centres of beach tourism remain the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts.
Resorts on the Aegean coast are more intimate, expensive and refined. Bodrum is a magnet for lovers of a stylish atmosphere and nightlife, and the yacht marina looks like something from a postcard. Marmaris is calmer, with a pretty promenade ideal for evening walks and shopping. Fethiye and Kusadasi delight visitors with secluded beaches and proximity to many of Turkey’s ancient monuments.
Mediterranean resorts — Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, Side and Belek — are generally more affordable, with a long beach season, sandy beaches and all inclusive hotels that are especially popular among tourists from Craiova.

Turkey: all inclusive hotels
To avoid mistakes when choosing a hotel, keep a few important aspects in mind.
- Location: if you dream of waking up to the sound of waves and walking straight onto the beach in your slippers, choose hotels on the first line. Travellers who prefer evening walks, cafes and shopping will feel better in hotels in the resort centre — where life goes on until late at night.
- Group composition: families with children should look for hotels with aquaparks, mini-clubs and animation. Young people will appreciate hotels with pool bars, DJ sets and evening shows. Those seeking peace and quiet should opt for 16+ or boutique hotels away from crowded tourist areas.
- All Inclusive or Ultra: the standard “all inclusive” system is good, but sometimes has time limits for meals and drinks. Ultra All Inclusive is more premium: imported drinks, late dinners, snacks around the clock and an extended menu.
