Turkey Hostels - Cheap Accommodation in Turkey

Backpacking Turkey ? As a local resident of Turkey (Istanbul) and a fellow backpacker, i hope this guide will help you to find the perfect youth hostel in Turkey.

Turkey is a backpackers paradise. Accommodation prices are the lowest in Europe, food is cheap and it is an historical and touristical heaven. You can even stay in a 3-4 stars hotels for the price of a stinky dorm bed in Amsterdam. So whats the catch? To be honest, it is a nightmare to travel in Turkey. Forget your Interrail or Eurorail ticket here. I would recommend using bus or fly between cities. Flight prices between big cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya are as low as 30 euros between big cities.

Enough chat for now, you can check the listing of all cheap hotels, bed and breakfasts, pensions and youth hostels in Turkey. Wish you a pleasant trip in Turkey !
