If you’re struggling to find somewhere to go for your next holiday, why not pick Turkey? This destination is so easy to get to, all you need to do is take advantage of the great deals that are currently available this month. All inclusive holidays in Turkey will cost you a fair bit more, but this will create the ultimate holiday experience where you have little to nothing to worry about. Bodrum, Izmir and Antalya are some of Turkey’s most popular destinations, and this article will discuss these in turn.
Visit the Bodrum peninsula if you’re interested in exploring the history and culture of this fascinating place. There are, of course, some spectacular beaches will you can laze around on, so just take your pick. There are shipwrecks all around the area which makes it a great place to explore. The city itself will charm you with its narrow, winding streets. On a hillside just outside of Bodrum you can visit the Bodrum Amphitheatre, a well-preserved Classical Greek theatre. You should start your exploration of the city by touring Bodrum castle, which overlooks the city’s harbour and marina, and was built by Crusaders in the 15th century. You can also visit the Museum of Underwater Archaeology on the castle grounds, which holds ruins from shipwrecks and famous underwater historical sites. Visit the site of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The best part about all inclusive holidays in Turkey is that when you’ve had enough touring, you can head back to your comfortable resort for a bit of relaxation and pampering.
Situated along the eastern Aegean coast is Izmi. This is the most populated city in Turkey, with over 3,500 years of recorded history. Izmir offers plenty of sights to see on a city tour and one of the first landmarks you will notice when exploring the harbour is the 1901 marble clock tower. The Agora of Smyrna – the ancient name for Izmir – is remarkably well preserved and available for touring. Another imposing city landmark is Kadifekale Fortress, which sits on a nearby hillside and affords you with magnificent views of the city. Izmir is rich in Jewish history, with nine synagogues concentrated in the traditional Jewish quarter or along Havra Sokak in Kemeraltı. Complete your city tour with a shopping trip to a traditional Turkish bazaar where you can buy handcrafts, such as rugs and bronze art.
The beach always attracts people who are on holidays in Turkey, no matter where you go in the world. Antalya is a stunning seaside city that has incredible views. It’s is perched on the cliffs of the Mediterranean in south-western Turkey, in a region surrounded by mountains. Start your tour of the city by entering Kaleiçi, or old-town Antalya, via Hadrian’s Gate – a marble entryway built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian. You’ll find a wide array of shopping, dining and entertainment options within the old city walls. Just past Hadrian’s Gate, you can see the Broken Minaret of the Korkut Mosque, the only part left of an ancient Roman temple, which was turned into a Byzantine church and finally into a mosque. Antalya’s Old Roman Harbour is a must-see attraction, which sits at the water’s edge in the history city centre. The old harbour today has numerous restaurants and cafes, where you can enjoy a cold drink and views of the yachts and fishing vessels moored in the harbour.
