- Shoes / Slippers / Sandals / Light flip flops (always prefer the ones you feel comfortabe, not a new one)
- Sun glasses
- Books
- Camera or smart phone. A Smart Phone (recommended) doubles as an alarm clock, MP3 player, web browser, translator, taxi finder, calendar/calculator.
- Driving licience if you are planning to rent a car
- An ATM or credit card for extra expenses
- Check the weather forecast to decide about the clothes. Take only the essential clothing wih you such as; underwear, socks, pans, tshirts, pyjamas, one or two smart dresses for dinners.
- An empty suitcase for the ones who love shopping!
If you are travelling with children ;
- Children may effect from the weather change, be sure to take simple medicines like painkiller or medication for fever with you.
- Hat and sun protection cream
- Wet towels may save your day!
- A backpack would be perfect to carry necessary items of the kids, if you love sightseeing.
- If you are travelling in the winter, take something thicker/warmer and the outer jacket to a full-on waterproof shell with a hood to keep out all wind/rain.
Good to Know;
- !!! Medical kit: make your own up and keep it small - just what you need to get through any bad times/emergencies until you next get to a pharmacy. Pharmacies in Alanya are excellent, easily located and you could easily order from the reception.
- !!! Make sure to control airport rules of yours and the airports in Antalya and Alanya-Gazipaşa such as; the size of cabin bag/ the weight of the baggage, carry policy about the liquid items.
- !!! You'll be doing yourself a big favour by keeping everything liquid in either a water-proof wash kit or zip-lock/money bags tightly fastened with an elastic band. An item leaking into your bag is a pain that's worth avoiding. If you are a couple it makes sense to share a wash and medical kit rather than double up on everything.
- !!! Do not take any schampoo, toothpaste or showergel with you. They took place and are heavy, it is better to get them here.
- !!! Bottom line: Bring clothes you are comfortable in and like! If they are light and practical all the better.
One last and valuable advice is choosing a trustfull tour operator or travel agent to buy your holiday!
