Much of it unspoilt. If you are looking for the best beaches then head to Olu Deniz or Belek.

Holidays in Turkey the best two weeks of your life!

Family on holidayHolidays in Turkey do not just have to be limited to the beach. If you like heights, then Rock climbing on eastern Turkey’s Mount Ararat and the Kackar Mountains will take your breath away. Their rugged shape, raw beauty and sheer size will blow you away.

The coast is dotted with golf courses and Turkey’s climate makes the courses playable through-out most of the year.

The country is steeped in history. The coastline is brimming with archeologically sites. Antalya is regarded by many as the birth place of human civilisation and Constantinople. Modern day Istanbul was once the capital of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empire.

You could always take in some culture on your holiday to Turkey. Why not become mesmerized by the Aspendos International Opera in June and the Ballet Festival during July.

Most of the larger resorts such as Bodrum, Mamaris, Fethiye, Antalya and Alanya have great shopping facilities. There is no point in shopping in Turkey unless you can haggle! It is compulsory!

After a long day filled with activities, what better way to end than in the Hamams? Also known as the steamy Turkish Baths, you can even get a full body massage or a body scrub. It feels absolutely refreshing and is highly recommended. Allegedly it will also help deepen your tan.

Try a Meze on your holiday in Turkey

Couple on an all inclusive holiday The food is always one of the fondest memories of Holidays in Turkey. East meets West, the best of Mediterranean cuisine fused with dishes from both the middle and Far East. If you are a vegetarian then I guarantee you will be spoilt for choice. The range of dishes and flavours are simply limitless. That does mean that meat eaters are left out and as you are never far from the coast, sea food is always on the menu.

Take time to immerse yourself in the food and the culture whilst on holiday in Turkey. We would suggest taking on a few Mezes. It is a very sociable dining experience, often served with flat bread and an array of dips and purées. Even the most selective eaters in your family will find a favourite dish.

Many of the dishes are very simple and easy to prepare. They can easily made at home and on those dark winter evenings you will be tempted to try and revive those fond memories of your summer holidays in Turkey by replicating some dishes, flavours and aromas from your visit.

Turkey Weather and Climate

Depending on where you choose to spend your holidays in Turkey the climate will vary. However, as an average, you can expect 300 days of full sun every year, with an average of 12 hours of sunshine per day between May and October.

If you choose to take your holidays in Turkey during the height of the summer then the temperatures can peak at around 35 degrees. However, outside of the months of June, July and August the temperatures are cooler. This tends to extend the holiday period and makes it a great destination for last minute holidays or if you are looking for a cheap holiday in Turkey then booking outside of the high season will ensure you get excellent value for money.
