Planning a trip to Turkey. We’ve compiled the ultimate guide to which resort will suit your holiday needs the best, from relaxing beach holidays, to adventure holidays in the mountains and cultural city breaks.

The southern coast of Turkey enjoys a Mediterranean climate, where temperatures rarely drop below 18C, making it perfect for beach holidays. The north of the country can get slightly cooler so make sure you wrap up warm when exploring Istanbul during the winter months.

#Travel to tibet

If someone wants to travel in Tibet it’s important to know how to do and how to get the permit to enter in the country.

- Is still not possible to enter in Tibet as backpackers, so it needs the help of a Travel Agency of your country, or a Tibetan one (from Lhasa ), or a Chinese one (from Beijing or Chengdu for example) or form a Nepali/Tibetan one (from Kathmandu ).

To visit Tibet you must follows an organized trip and plan everything before.

#The Best Way to Spend Two Months in Southeast Asia

I knew I was going to fall in love with Southeast Asia before I even arrived there. Problem was, the region seemed so vast and filled with things to see and experience, I wondered if traveling to Southeast Asia would be worth the stress of planning a trip there. (Five years and seven trips later, I can safely say then answer is Yes !)

My experience traveling in Southeast Asia has led me to believe that two months is the perfect amount of time to spend on your first trip in the region. Rather than a fixed itinerary, this guide provides a flexible framework for an unforgettable two months in Southeast Asia, and although I ve written it to be comprehensive, I ve also written it to focus on the fundamentals – I assume (and hope!) you will return to Southeast Asia as many times as I have!

#Travel insurance cancellation cover.

Travel insurance cancellation cover can help if the unexpected happens and you can't make your trip and should be considered when you book a holiday.

Key points

• Not all travel insurance policies include cancellation cover - check yours, and check the level of cover and excess
• Book your insurance when you book your trip to benefit
• If you have an annual policy, take care with the cover start date
• You can't insure yourself against an event taking place that you were already aware of

Around a quarter of a million policyholders make claims related to the costs of cancelling a holiday each year, [1] according to the Association of British Insurers. †

Travel cancellation cover might not make up for the disappointment of a missed holiday, but at least it will help ease the dent in your pocket if things go wrong.

Having this protection allows policyhol ... Read more »

#Maldives travel guide

Why go?

Download the free Telegraph Travel app to destinations including Paris, New York and Rome: itunes.apple.com

The Maldives are made up of 26 coral atolls in a chain reaching down to cross the equator. Within those 26 atolls are roughly 1,200 islands and of these around 200 are inhabited and 100 are resorts.

Which is not to say that this is not also one of the most sophisticated holiday destinations in the world. A race to the top has seen the standard of service, rooms and cuisine rise exponentially in the last 10 years. Now, instead of the dreaded buffet, there is superb à la carte cuisine; there are cellars for cheese, charcuterie, wine and chocolate. The world’s first underwater restaurant, under-water nightclub and underwater spa are all to be found here.

#Travel advice: the best flight comparison websites

Donald Strachan, Telegraph Travel's technology expert, compares the leading flight search websites to discover which finds the cheapest deals

12:40PM GMT 23 Jan 2014

Comments

For anyone hunting the cheapest flights on the web, key bookmarks are the meta-search engines . These sites trawl airlines, online travel agents (OTAs) and flight-data wholesalers to find the best price. But which of them is the cheapest?

I selected 20 routes from Britain to long- and short-haul destinations, plus one internal flight in the United States and one between Australia and Asia. I mixed five different dates, ranging from a short-notice week away in February to a 20-night August trip. I searched for every flight on eight leading flight websites, rejecting prices if they were only available with crazy layovers or a circuitous route. In other words, I chose the cheapest sensible route.

OneTravel Customer Reviews

One Travel is the only way to plan a trip 5

I have dealt with a lot of online travel companies and have often had trouble with the bookings or the service was not rated correctly when it comes to hotels and cars. That being said, OneTravel gave me the best deals, delivered as promised, and both the airline and rental car reservations were confirmed and delivered as promised. Great service and communication. Very pleased and will use OneTravel for all future trips.

I have purchased tickets online but only from the carrier's website. This was the first time I purchased through a third party. Not only was the process fast and easy but I got the ticket for almost 50 USD less than other big names. I will definitely recommend One Travel to everyone.

#Top 25 Online Booking Sites in Travel This Month - Skift

Come Attend the Best Conference in Travel

Ed. We re starting a new monthly feature on top trafficked sites in various sectors in travel, using data from SimilarWeb. We have found SimilarWeb s traffic stats to be the most reliable barometer of consumer web activity, easily besting other comparison sites like Quantcast, Compete, Alexa, and others.

#The best time to buy airline tickets is on Sunday 57 days in advance

The holiday travel season is coming, and here's some important new data that might help you enjoy it more: The cheapest airline fares can be found 57 days before your planned departure. What's more, the best day of the week to buy those tickets is now Sunday—which has changed in recent years. It used to be Tuesday.

The new information is thanks to a detailed report by the ticket processing center at Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), a service used by travel agencies that represents half of all airline tickets sold in the U.S. ARC looked at a 19-month period of ticket sales (almost 130 million tickets) and saw that the lowest average prices were found on Sunday. Second runner-up? Saturday.

Traveling on a budget can be tricky and all the more so if you have children.
