Planning your flights.
A new search engine, Skyscanner.net, specializes in finding the lowest flight prices and is useful for all travellers, especially those starting their journey from the UK.

Direct flights to the new terminal at Izmir, combined with the appearance of budget airlines, have made for cheaper flights. For maximum convenience you can now fly direct from London (Gatwick) to Izmir with British Airways for around £100.

If your priority is to keep travel costs to a minimum, can be flexible with flights and you are prepared to search for the best offers, you should be able to secure a last minute discounted ticket - even with scheduled airlines such as BA.

The discount airlines, such as Easyjet, already operate to Istanbul which is well served by fifty minute shuttles on to Izmir. Easyjet flights can cost as little as £69 both ways and the Onurair, Sunexpress and AtlasJet operate shuttle flights for around £30 one way. Discount airline flights are best booked early.

Keep an eye on the summer schedules published in time for 01 APR - there are new airlines and new flights announced all the time and now, in JAN we are keeping a close eye on Easyjet to Izmir.

Don't forget 'flight only' with charter companies to resorts on the south coast such as Antalya. These can be very cheap, and if you take a domestic shuttle flight, or luxury inter-city coach, you can complete your journey for as little as £30 one way. The airport is less than half an hour from the bus terminal and only one and a half hours from Foça.

Note: The intercity bus will also arrive at the same terminal that the local buses to Foça depart from.
