First, determine where you want to go
Seems simple, yes? And yet…perhaps you have many destinations in mind, multiple places you’d like to explore. You can begin by prioritizing your destinations – what you want to see, do or experience – and then look at the factors that might influence your decision: your budget and time constraints are usually the main components.
If determining where you want to go is tougher than you’d expected, take a look at the Turkish Airlines Holidays vacation themes for inspiration – “Beach, Sand and Sun”, “Honeymoon”, “Holiday with Kids”, “Gastronomic Routes”, “Diving and Snorkeling” or “African Safari” are just some of the trips in the As You Wish section.
