Welcome to Turkey, one of Europe's most adventurous and relaxed holiday destinations. Situated between Europe and the Orient the country offers a unique fusion of cultures, many fascinating archaeological sites and a lot of wide horizons and rugged landscapes. Moreover, Turkey has a beautiful and largely undeveloped coast line along the Mediterranean with clear, blue water and a fascinating history going back thousands of years making summer holidays to turkey a dream.
Turkey is a vast country with many different landscapes in its interior. There are open plains with wide horizons, steep mountains and isolated forests. It is an ideal location for many different activity holidays whether one is passionate about cycling, climbing, hang gliding or horse riding.
The capital of Turkey, Istanbul is a fascinating destination for a city holiday. Located on the shores of the Bosporus, not only does the city straddle two continents, it also combines European and Oriental cultures as well as ancient and modern history. There are many unique building such as the Hagia Sophia, the Topkapi Palace and the Dolmabahe Palace to visit. The Spice Bazaar is another important sight, which delights many Western visitors. There is of course much more to see and Istanbul is a rewarding destination for many trips.
Holidays in Turkey are most often associated with blue water and rocky beaches relaxing in the family friendly atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast. The clear water invites swimming, snorkelling and diving as well as kayaking, water skiing and wind surfing. Activities can easily be tailored to different age groups. Of course there is plenty of sunshine with the south coast experiencing on average 300 days of sunshine per year.
For specialized activity holidays visitors come to Kas on the southern coast. This small finishing village offers a good base for water sports as well as the Taurus Mountains. The latter are a great location for hang gliding and paragliding due to their excellent thermals. There is also the possibility of booking a week-long sea trek kayaking along the Turquoise Coast, which can include exploring ancient sites along the way.
Turkey is also a very good option for less strenuous activity holidays such as walking or cycling. Between Fethiye and Antalya on the south coast lies an ancient trading route called the Lycian Way. Today, a long-distance walking route follows the ancient one and leads for 500 km through isolated mountain landscapes and quiet rural backwaters. Of course it can become very hot here during summer and it is therefore recommended that cyclists or hikers come to Turkey's southern coast during spring or autumn.
A more family friendly, but equally exciting way of spending your holidays in Turkey is onboard a traditional two-masted Gulet. Boats are always equipped to modern standards and offer opportunities for day trips to scenic and cultural locations as well as many stops for swimming and snorkelling.
Whatever your preference, whether it is for sightseeing, outdoor adventures, water sports or simply relaxing and enjoying its generous Mediterranean hospitality, Turkey is a rewarding holiday destination
