This Week Holiday Mate Welcomes the Beginning of Summer!

Yes, today is the 1st of May and here at Holiday Mate we are saying hello (Hosgeldiniz) to the official start of the 2013 summer season!

 

An exciting day as it means visitors start flocking to the many fabulous resorts Turkey has to offer.  New and old customers will embark on a holiday to Turkey and taste the wonderful delights that this rich and varied country has to offer.

 

The majority of hotels officially open their doors for the first time since October, and resorts around the country awaken after a long winter sleeping.

 

Work has been continuing full throttle over the last couple of months to make sure that everything is ready for the beginning of the season.  With renovations being made, road improvements and new hotels being built it has been a busy winter, but with the start of May now upon us preparations are finally complete.

 

Hotel pools have been filled, sun beds have been put out on the beach, restaurants have laid their tables and excursion boats are returning to the harbours- yes summer is definitely here!

 

We couldn’t ask for a more fabulous beginning to the season with the weather here in Turkey.  At our office in Hisaronu it is an already scorching 29C!  Great news for holidaymakers, as it makes a welcome escape from the dreary weather back in the UK. Temperatures are set to rise even higher as the week progresses, with the weather man predicting a whopping 33C by the end of the week.

 

If you have yet to book your 2013 holiday to Turkey then why not book today.  Here at Holiday Mate we constantly offer our customers different deals and offers as well as running a daily dynamic price check to ensure that no one can beat us on value for price.
