Turkey's SightsActivitiesClimateHotels
Whether you are looking for a beach break in the sun, a cultural holiday or a mix of the two,
Turkey will delight. The warm waters of the Mediterranean lap the sandy shores of the south,
while ancient wonders and history sit in the charismatic towns. Beautiful beach resorts line
the coast while off the beaten track towns and villages are filled with narrow streets and
the smells of herbs and spices. Come and discover the ancient and the new in Turkey!
The azure waters are the perfect setting for a wide range of water sports from windsurfing
and waterskiing to scuba diving and snorkeling. The hills above provide the ideal launch
pad for paragliders and hang gliders, while the white sand below is a great spot for landing.
Because of Turkey’s size and location there are many different weather and climatic conditions
throughout the year. In the Mediterranean and Aegean regions the summer months are hot and dry
with the winter months being wet and mild. The coastal resorts shut down during the winter and
are only fully open from May till October, during the best weather.
