Places to Go
Alanya's Castle
High on the hillside overlooking the city below, this Byzantine castle is simply breathtaking. Built in the 13th century on existing Byzantine and Roman fortifications, it is now an open air museum for the general public to appreciate.
Kayakoy
Located a few kilometres south of Fethiye in the Dalaman region, this museum village is as close to a ghost town as you're going to get. Hundreds of derelict houses remain in what was once a hub for Greek speaking Christians until the early 20th century – perfect for an afternoon of exploring away from the beachfront.
Istanbul
If the hustle and bustle of modern day Constantinople appeals to you, a day in Istanbul would be a perfect addition to your holiday itinerary. Many Turkey holiday deals will be able to accommodate a trip to this cosmopolitan city, giving you the opportunity to explore the sights and shop till you drop in the only city to span two continents.
Ephesus
It's completely understandable why Ephesus tops many a list of must-see sights in Turkey. A visit to the ruins of this ancient city will take you back in time to appreciate the archaeology and history of the area, including the Library of Celsus and the Gate of Augustus.
Blue Mosque
If you’re lucky enough to be able to visit Istanbul for a day, be sure to visit the Sultan Ahmed Blue Mosque which dominates the city. Adorned with tiny blue mosaic tiles inside, the sheer beauty of this late Ottoman mosque is simply breathtaking – perfect for a little culture on Turkey holidays.
Things to Do
Soak in Pamukkale
Pack your cozzie and head for the 'cotton castle' in Izmir, where you can bask in the minerals of these limestone pools as you feast your eyes on the incredible horizons.
Paraglide back down to Earth
While the blue lagoon in Olu Deniz is often called the best beach in Turkey, there's nothing quite like seeing it from a birds-eye view. Enjoy an excursion to the peak of the surrounding hills and muster the courage to paraglide back to solid ground in this adrenaline-fuelled and incredibly beautiful experience.
Scrub the Stresses Away with a Turkish Bath
Cheap Turkey holidays wouldn't be complete without a traditional Turkish bath. Enjoy a massage like no other as all your stresses are scrubbed and rubbed away - leaving you with skin feeling super soft and revitalised.
Watch for Turtles
Take a trip down the Dalyan River for your chance to catch a glimpse of the gracious freshwater turtles that reside in these warm waters. The loggerheads are simply beautiful and definitely a sight to behold on this trip to remember.
Barter in the Grand Bazaar
Perfect the art of haggling at the bustling Grand Bazaar in Marmaris, where you can pick up all manner of wares- from authentic rugs to scrumptious Turkish delight. While a Persian rug may be a little difficult to fit into a suitcase, the vast array of sweets, spices and beautiful local jewellery will make perfect gifts for your loved ones back home.
Top Holiday Resorts Antalya
From exploring the beauty of the Manavgat Waterfalls, to appreciating the ancient history of the Temple of Apollo, you can be sure that this hub of holiday fun is one of the best resorts in Turkey. Relax on the irresistible beaches, or try some of the local Turkish cuisine before sipping a cocktail as the sun sets on the horizon.
Bodrum
Located on the Aegean coast, you can enjoy a combination of culture and modern living, including trendy restaurants overlooking chic marinas, as well as a huge choice of bazaars and boutiques to lose yourself in.
Dalaman
The 'Turquoise Coast' of Turkey is most certainly a sight to behold, with beauty emanating from every corner. With white sandy beaches and azure waters, you'll think you're spending a holiday in your own piece of paradise.
Whether you opt to stay by the turquoise shores, or you prefer to head further afield to explore, you're in for a treat. Home to Pamukkale and the culture vulture haven of Ephesus, you can fill your days with plenty of activity.
Whatever you want to gain from your summer holiday, Turkey package holidays are bound to provide a break to remember. With Direct Holidays you’ll find the best holiday deals to Turkey, with fantastic all inclusive holidays to some of the most popular destinations such as Antalya, Bodrum and Dalaman - so it’s even easier for you to enjoy the perfect holiday to Turkey.
