[The Extra Scoop]( [The Extra Scoop]( Hola Sunseekers! The chat at On the Beach HQ this week has been around what everyone’s doing on payday. The longest month of the year (or so it feels) is coming to an end, and we’re one month closer to summer. Turkey’s the hot topic in the team since our marketing guru Lucy got back from visiting our top hotels over there (her fave was Land of Legends!). Meanwhile, Helen from the hotel team is raving about Egypt and is desperate for us all to experience Hurghada for ourselves. Lucky for you lot, both destinations have a bunch of hotels that will give you More Beach For Your Buck Your Extra Scooper [A week in... Bodrum]( [A week in... Bodrum]( Not sure if you’ve heard, but Turkey’s where it’s at this year. Bodrum has got to be on your book-it list for this summer. Here’s how to have the best week in Bodrum: Day 1 Wander around the Old Town, do some shopping and stuff your face with delicious seafood at Dukkan No 10 Day 2 Go on a boat trip around Bodrum Peninsula and take in the stunning views Day 3 Get your culture hat on and visit Castle of St. Peter and ancient Ephesus Day 4 Do absolutely nothing by the pool, drink in hand. Our favourite hotel for this has to be La Blanche Island Day 5 Explore the picturesque Insta-worthy villages around Bodrum - like Akyarlar. Day 6 Check out Bodrum Aquapark and head to Bodrum Town for some delicious Turkish food and drinks on Cumhuriyet Street [Turkish delights >]( [Turkish delights >]( [The other side of... Zante]( [The other side of... Zante]( When I think of Zakynthos (or Zante to you and me), I think of 18-30's holidays, late nights with the girls and days recovering by the pool. And if your plan this summer is to tear it up, then Zante is definitely the place to go! But... there’s more to this Greek island than you might think. The surrounding islands alone are well worth talking about. Cameo island is only 5 euros to visit and has some of the best Insta-worthy views, while Turtle Island - full of turtles and shaped like a turtle - is one for the animal-lovers. Daphne Beach is a hidden gem just south of the island, with the most amazing taverna. The smell of souvlaki will draw you right in. And, for those wanting a party on a smaller scale, Laganas town has some super-cool cocktail bars to round off the hot days.
