Spanning two continents and centuries of history, Turkey is a stunning destination. Empires of the Byzantine, Ottoman, Roman and Persian have each influenced this intriguing country, from its culture to its cuisine.
Offering visitors everything from ancient ruins to sunny stretches of sandy beaches, it is little wonder that Turkey is such a popular holiday destination.
Istanbul is a city of two halves and many characters. The Bosphorus river flows through it, separating the romance of Europe from the gateway to Asia. Still, this magnificent city is far more than simply East meets West. You will find traditional quarters where little has changed and where the history of a city that has borne witness to empires that have risen and fallen for centuries is evident. You will also find a modern city with sparkling new architecture, bringing a fresh perspective to this cultural gem. These juxtapositions, old and new, East and West, allow Istanbul to be something for everyone, quite effortlessly. Art, culture, food, history, clubs and shopping, this vibrant city oozes with highlights that couldn't fail to be on every traveller's must-visit list.
Dotted along the coastline of Turkey are gems like Kemer, Beldibi and Belek. Beautiful seaside resorts overlook glistening azure blue waters with dramatic backdrops of lush green forests, national parks and mountains.
The Turkish Riviera is known as the Turquoise Coast for a good reason. This sublime stretch of coastline is one of the most popular tourist regions in Turkey. Here the white sand beaches meet the warm, turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Antalya is the vibrant centre of the region. This historic city offers many shopping streets and promenades. Hadrian's Gate on the Atatürk Caddesi is the only preserved gate to the ancient city of Antalya. It provides a dramatic entrance to a town full of treasures. Twelve kilometres outside of Antalya are the Düden waterfalls. This natural spectacle is at the heart of one of Turkey's many national parks.
Another popular destination is the Aegean coast. Shady olive groves and fig trees, pine forests and impressive rock formations nestle against the rugged coastline. Here long sandy beaches, secluded coves and crystal clear waters and the equally dramatic natural surroundings of the national parks, allow for versatile holidays with so much to do.
Bodrum, often referred to as Turkey's St. Tropez, is undoubtedly one of the most popular places in the Aegean sea.
Jutting into the Aegean Sea, Bodrum is often referred to as Turkey's St Tropez for its French Riviera chic feel. However, it embodies a far more exotic feel and an intrinsic charm that belies its heritage. Marinas, bazaars, hammams and culture, make Bodrum an easygoing destination with so much to see and do.
