Turkey Holidays

Turkish baths, kebabs and Blue Flag beaches are just a handful of the things that make Turkey the perfect destination for your next beach holiday. As a grand country bordering two continents, the diversity within makes the country extra special. Indulge in Middle Eastern food whilst enjoying the laid-back Mediterranean way of life. Turkey has everything you need to experience a relaxing yet adventurous holiday in the sunshine, and with a host of romantic hotels, Turkey is a perfect choice for a romantic getaway with your partner.

Beaches
Shores filled with blue flag beaches and tiny coves for tranquil tanning, Turkey’s coastline is a gold mine. The border of Mulga and Antalya holds the country’s longest beach, Patara, giving plenty of space for uncrowded beach time. Oludeniz lagoon, Side, Alanya and Bodrum peninsula are just some of the more popular resorts, where the sand is smooth and the views are unbeatable.

Food & Drink
When I say kebab, I don’t mean the greasy, sloppy, takeaway dish you might find on the streets of the UK. Turkey’s fresh Doner Kebaps are taste sensations that your buds will thank you for. Kofta, mezes and mucver (courgette fritters) are also a great part of the country’s diet, and let’s not forget the delightfully syrupy pastry bites, Baklava. For the caffeine fiends, Turkish coffee is among the best, and for those who prefer their poison a little stronger, Raki is sure to refresh your palette.

Culture
A harmonious mix of Asian and European lifestyle engulfs the populous country. With the East and West borders meeting two separate continents, the country has areas under heavy Middle Eastern influence, Mediterranean influence and some that meet in the middle. The south western coast is filled with welcoming resorts and friendly locals ready for any visitors seeking a laid-back beachy break.

Nightlife
With a vast variety of resorts to choose from, you’re sure to find a nightlife in Turkey to suit you. For the youngsters seeking the non-stop dancing, Bodrum offers buzzing bars and pumped up parties. Alayna and Marmaris have similar vibes, with plenty going on into the early hours of the morning. If laid-back bars are more your scene, the smaller resorts and villages are where things move a little slower for relaxing evening drinks.
