All the allure of the middle east with a distinctly European flavour, holidays in Turkey offer a beautiful mix of gorgeous beaches, luxurious resorts, captivating cities, and stunning scenery.

The historic palaces and ancient mosques of Istanbul really are a sight to behold. Many a day is well spent under the domed ceilings of the Hagia Sophia or gazing at the ornate tiles of the Blue Mosque before exploring the market stalls of the Grand Bazaar and tucking into a traditional Turkish meze.

Beyond the bustle of the cities, a diverse landscape of hypnotic deserts, magnificent mountain ranges and beautiful forests offer up a huge variety of adventures. Yet, it is for outstanding beaches that Turkey is best known, where the golden sands of Antalya, the turquoise coasts of Dalaman, and the Blue Lagoon in Ölüdeniz are just a few of the coastal spots that bewitch sun-seekers time and time again.
