Turkey Holidays
Holidays in Turkey combine endless sunshine with electric blue seas, beautiful beaches, fun-loving resorts and heaps of activities for families and adults. From adrenaline-pumping kite surfing and paragliding to relaxing boat trips, world-class snorkelling, kayaking and diving, this Mediterranean gem is full of adventure and amazing sights.
Turkey holidays boast golden stretches of sand that are famous worldwide (often appearing at the top of all the best beaches lists), and with sizzling summer climes and pleasantly warm winters, you can play it cool along this sun-kissed coastline all-year-round. Turkey holiday destinations include popular resorts Antalya, Bodrum, Izmir and Dalaman, all fit for families and couples who love a mixture of relaxation, watersports and culture by the coast.
With waterparks, theme parks and an abundance of restaurants, seafront towns and pretty harbours to enjoy too, Turkey holidays make for an action-packed escape no matter where you choose to visit.
Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Public transport covers most of Turkey, so it should be fairly easy to get where you need to go. Alternatively, car hire is feasible and can offer great value for money, but roads can be hectic and the Highway Code is often ignored. Trains and buses are available if you’re planning a long distance trip, while the network of dolmus minibuses is popular for getting around towns and resorts. Taxis are also plentiful.
Antalya Favourites
With over 600 kilometres of coastline, Antalya has some fantastic beaches - here are our favourites.
At Lara Beach, watersports, beach clubs, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs make this one of the best beaches if you want to be in the heart of al the action.
Three natural harbours set alongside the ruins of an old sea-port city dating back to the 7th Century BC is what you’ll find at Phaselis Beach.
Adrasan Beach boasts unspoilt nature, crystal-clear water and dramatic landscapes which make this beach well worth the less than glamorous hobble over the pebbles.
According to legend, Mark Antony gifted Cleopatra beach to Cleopatra, and she had sand specially brought from Egypt. Believe it or not, but this is a beautiful beach.
Korsan Bay - This secluded cove is surrounded by two large rock formations on either side and feels incredibly and wonderfully isolated - a pleasing antidote to busier beaches.
Bodrum Beaches
Bodrum, a captivating holiday destination nestled on the southwestern coast of Turkey has got plenty of beaches to keep everyone nicely tanned.
From the blissfully relaxing beaches at Bitez through to the restaurant and café lined sands of Gumbet, Bodrum has family friendly holiday options galore.
For beach lovers, this stretch of the Turkish coast will be heaven and there are many quiet coves and bays to explore with your snorkel and flippers.
The vibrant, sun kissed resorts cater to all tastes with lots of watersports, children's play areas, parks and theme parks for all ages.
Party Time
If you like to get active after dark, Turkey will never disappoint.
Bodrum is brimming with fantastic bars and clubs where you can show off your best moves and sip cocktails until the early hours of the morning.
Try Halikarnas, the world’s largest outdoor club, or head for the glass-bottomed floating nightclub – the latter isn’t advised if you suffer sea-sickness though, not with the added vino!
For those who want lively nightlife, head for the Kordon and Alsancak areas of Izmir. You’ll find nightclubs to dance until the sun comes out and bars with dizzying cocktail lists.
If you want a more relaxed evening, stick to the beach bars, and countless pubs and wine bars which line the resort waterfronts.
The nightlife in Marmaris exceeds all expectations, whether you’re looking for a laid-back evening or set on staying out until the early hours. Warm up on Bar Street where you'll find a variety of venues before hitting Club Areena or the Rock Bar (if you’re hoping for guitar riffs rather than pumping tunes!).
Fun for Foodies
There are plenty of seafood restaurants to explore ad you could try somewhere different every night of the week.
Dalaman is home to many restaurants. Gobun is a fantastic Mediterranean fish and seafood restaurant with a wonderful setting right next to Gocek Bay.
Nightlife in Olu Deniz is laid-back so you're more likely to enjoy exotic seafood on sophisticated terraces rather than buzzing bars and clubs. The beachside HangOut is a great place to do exactly what the name suggests.
Q. Lounge is beautifully presented and tasty Asian cuisine. A top spot for a refreshing cocktail with a view of the sunset over Gocek Bay.
