A Surprisingly Green And Pleasant Land
Turkey sits astride two continents and proudly shows off its east meets west culture in a very green and pleasant land. European principles sit easily aside Asian traditions while the ancient history welcomes modern resorts.
Antalya, Izmir, Dalaman and Bodrum are the main tourist regions in Turkey and each one is becoming more and more popular every year. Holidaymakers are attracted to the wonderful weather, fantastic beaches, ancient treasures and historical ruins. Breathtaking marinas are filled with vibrant yachts and traditional gullets and bazaars will find you bartering for everything from carpets and rugs to gold and silver. Haggling at the local markets is a way of life here and can be great fun. Don't be put off by inexperience, just be confident, don't be ridiculous with your price and stand firm, you'll soon get the hang of it and should be able to bag yourself some fantastic bargains.
Cheap holidays in Turkey can offer everything for a lazy few weeks soaking up the sun, a week full of water sports, or a historic journey through Byzantine, Roman, Persian, Lycian and Ottoman times.
The Antalya region is the furthest east and therefore attracts holidaymakers' right through the winter. Izmir, Dalaman and Bodrum are too cold for the tourists at this time so you can only travel here between May and October.
The cooler winters all help to keep Turkey a very green and pleasant land and keen walkers will love the mild and balmy weather of early and late season when they can follow some beautiful trails and see breathtaking views. The most famous walk is possibly that along the Lycian way, stretching for 300 miles from Fethiye in the west to Antalya in the east. The walk takes its name from the people who inhabited the region between 2000BC and 1000 AD. You can actually book holidays to trek along the entire route, or simply take a day or so to explore part of it.
Ephesus near Kusadasi is one of the best preserved Roman sites in the country and people travel from all over Europe to see it. Visit the famous Trojan horse in the ancient city of Troy, or the temple of Aphrodite at Aphrodisias whilst on cheap holidays in Turkey.
Turkey still uses the Turkish Lira although some traders will accept sterling or the Euro, however, you will find the standard of living very economical making cheap holidays in Turkey are going to be extremely popular this year.
