We have adapted to many changes and many challenges in every area of our lives and we call this the \u2018new normal\u2019.&nbsp; We do not know how long this situation will continue, so we make every effort to minimize our own risks and the risks to our loved ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us now prioritize safety measures such as social distancing and hand washing. Yet, even as we attempt to reduce our risks, we can still take a vacation, provided we adhere to certain guidelines. Please see <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/en\/is-a-socially-distanced-holiday-possible\/\">Is a socially distanced holiday possible?<\/a> for more information. If the mere idea of going on a vacation produces anxiety, then it is probably wiser not to take that holiday. But, if we are willing to abide by directives from international and national health organizations, the risks of taking a holiday can be considerably reduced. Yes, fun is still possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;For further information about holidays during the pandemic, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/en\/category\/trip-ideas\/the-new-normal-holidays-during-the-pandemic\/\">new normal holiday<\/a>.

It is easier to follow social distance guidelines while camping, for instance. Browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.turkishairlines.com\/en\/category\/trip-ideas\/camping-and-camping-vacation-ideas\/\">Camping<\/a> category for suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glamping is a more luxurious option. Offering the amenities of a hotel and a camping-style experience, glamping involves a tent, but one that usually includes a bathroom, electricity and other amenities.

Since you\u2019re driving, there\u2019s even more flexibility. Plan a route in the Aegean-Mediterranean so the entire family can experience history, swimming, camping and nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another holiday that provides both social distance and greater control over hygiene is renting a private villa in a beautiful area close to the sea or to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Review the options and select the type of vacation that best suits you and your family \u2013 and have a wonderful and safe holiday this autumn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-default\" style=\"background-color:#ebebeb;color:#ebebeb\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>Stories knock at your door!<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can easily download images, and share on your social media accounts via your smartphone.
