To the untrained eye or the unknowing tourist, Turkey holidays may not seem like anything special before they have actually tried these. Leaflets and posters usually show the generic all-inclusive luxury hotel and the golden sand beach, with palm trees and bordering a deep-blue sea. This, however, is a common image to a lot of other travel destinations: Greece, Spain, Tunis, Florida, Seychelles, Thailand and many more. Turkey does stand out though – and you will shortly find out how.
Sea, Forests and Mountains
Turkey has a fantastic combination of natural elements of great beauty. Besides the typical prerequisites like beautiful sandy beaches and azure seas, Turkey has a mountainous relief that reaches right to its shores. Thanks to the country’s climate, the relief is covered in pine forests. Thus, you get picture-perfect views of the seaside, bordered by forested ranges – a sublime landscape indeed.
More than Enough Resorts to Choose From
The country has a very long seashore line, which hosts a plethora of enticing resorts. From big long beaches to hidden lagoons and from islands to rocky coasts, you will have loads of valid choices in the Turkish land to explore, enjoy and relax.
The Diverse Heritage
Turkey is a mix of Eastern and Western cultures, of Europe and Asia. Moreover, it features a rich Ottoman heritage. Its nature may be Islamic, but there are also important remnants of the most lavish Christian era, like Byzantine cathedrals, monasteries and castles. Turkey has a stunning past – many centuries of arts development, of conquests and successful commerce.
Ancient Civilization Ruins and Relics
The country is dotted with superb Hellenic relics that speak of the Classical era. Most of these are accessible on the Mediterranean side. More centrally located, there are the old Turkish ruins of mosques, fortifications and so on.
