Where is the best area to stay in Turkey?

Türkiye (or Turkey to you and me) is huge. With so many holiday resorts to choose from, it’s hard to know where to go. Well - don't you worry. We've got all the answers, including some budget-friendly options if you're looking for a cheap holiday to Turkey.

• Family holidays - an all-inclusive holiday to Antalya is your best bet for top-tier, kiddo-approved action with all the kids' clubs and waterparks they (or you) could want, and loads of them are right by the beach too, which means sandcastle-building is always on the agenda. Antalya and Belek are top dogs for a family jolly, but you'll find some great spots in Dalaman too. If you've got the older kids in tow, then first of all - sorry, and second of all - do yourself a favour and book a stay in Kusadasi (near Bodrum) for a lively centre and fam-friendly nightlife.

• Getting the squad together - if you're looking to party with your pals, then Bodrum and Marmaris are Turkey's top two nightlife spots. You'll have a ton of bars and clubs to pick from, so pack your dancing shoes. (That's what the kids do, right?)

• Cute vibes with bae - Olu Deniz is #couplegoals if we've ever seen it. There are loads of activities to get competitive over, sandy beaches to sprawl out on, and - most importantly - bags of top restaurants to wine and dine yourselves stupid at.

What are the best beaches in Turkey?

• Olu Deniz Beach - a sweeping beach that meets the famous Blue Lagoon - the perfect Insta-worthy spot for a cheeky swim

• Sarigerme Beach - a gorg beach that’s a hit for both family jollies and couples' breaks thanks to its soft sand, calm water and green backdrop

• Lara Beach - an ideal sunbathing spot in Antalya, with sun loungers, parasols and plenty of spots for food and drink. Oh, and it's Blue-Flag certified, so y'know...winning.

• Konyaalti Beach - a 7km-long stretch surrounded by rugged mountains - this one's a firm fave for tourists staying in Antalya

• Belek Beach - gold sands stretching as far as 16km (steady on), this is the place to be for family beach days, sunny swim sessions and watersports galore

• Gumbet Beach - one of Bodrum’s best spots for diving or trying your hand at other watersports, perfect for sea-lovers
