Turkey Summer Holidays

Turkey is a great choice for summer holidays thanks to its amazing beaches, interesting towns and rich culture. If you're looking for a truly memorable experience, a Turkey summer holiday is the way to go – which is before even mentioning the (almost) guaranteed sun and fewer than five days of rain per month.

This diverse country offers something for everyone, from ancient ruins and bustling markets to stunning beaches and trendy resorts. Turkey is a superb choice for those who want to experience the Mediterranean coastline with an added dose of culture in the shape of Roman temples and Ottoman mosques.

Spend your summer holiday soaking up the sun on Turkey's pristine beaches or exploring its fascinating towns. Izmir is a popular holiday destination for its clear and shallow seas and vibrant nightlife, while Cesme is a particularly trendy choice, with its famous beaches such as Ilica Beach, and the town of Ciftlikkoy - also known as the ‘Maldives of Turkey’ with its famous golden beaches and clear seas.

Kusadasi is another excellent choice for a Turkey summer holiday, with its beautiful white sand beaches, clear turquoise waters and pine tree landscape. This lively resort town is situated on the Aegean coast in Antalya and is known for its stretched coastline, energetic marina and boutique shopping, so be sure to explore the many shops and markets.

If you're looking for a more relaxed holiday, consider the town of Dalyan - situated on a river in Mugla. This tranquil town is surrounded by mountains and is home to the famous Iztuzu Beach, where you can often find loggerhead turtles nesting. Or head down the coast to Fethiye, a beautiful town full of natural beauty, history and stunning sea caves - perfect for a day-long boat tour.
