Something to note if you're planning to stay in Turkey... If you want things such as air conditioning and fans, you usually will need to stay in at least a 3 star or higher rated hotel.

Recently Turkey has invested a lot of resources in improving it's hotel facilities. Most establishments are now regulated either nationally or by the local regional council. The Turkish Hotel Association maintains lists and addresses of hotels which fall into the different categories.

Turkey has made a considerable effort to develop its hotel facilities. A large number of faceless concrete high-rises have gone up at some resorts along the Aegean and Mediterranean coast to provide accommodation for visitors on package tours. Away from these there are smaller boutique hotels that offer real character.

Guest houses (pensions) can be found in holiday resorts and major towns. The guest houses in the region of Cappadocia are sometimes found in caves dug into the soft volcanic rock. Some guest houses also double as hostels, offering dormitory accommodation as well as private en suite rooms.

Villas and apartments can be rented, especially on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and also in Cappadocia and the larger cities. Time share properties are also starting to take-off in Turkey, most usually in the resorts along the Aegean or Mediterranean coast and in Istanbul.

There are numerous camping/caravan sites around Turkey, but facilities are generally limited.

You can also find a number of excellent youth hostels in Turkey. The Yücelt Interyouth Hostel in Istanbul is a member of Hostelling International. In recent years a number of private hostels aimed at backbackers have opened for business, especially in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district. Some hostels also offer private rooms in addition to dormitory accommodation.
