Holiday information on Turkey "Turquoise waters lap miles of beautiful beaches and the ancient Orient merges with the modern world in lively resorts. A welcome as warm as the weather awaits you in Turkey." Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are where rocky headlands meet clear blue seas, where pine forests roll down to meet fine beaches, where the mysteries of the Middle East meet the Western world. With a friendly people renowned for their hospitality, Turkey is a seductive blend of sunshine and spices. Turkey has both Western style chic boutiques and souvenir shops, or more evocative markets and bazaars. Haggle for leather goods and jewellery and hunt for bargains in the weekly markets that the larger towns hold. For a taste of Turkey, venture into a pastanes (sweet shop). From booming clubs to belly dancing, Turkey has something for all tastes in entertainment. In all the resorts, the evening revolves around the restaurants and bars, though some also host world class nightclubs. On the Mediterranean Coast, Side is a hive of nocturnal activity and Antalya's has one of the world's largest floating discos! Along the Aegean Coast, Gümbet is full of bars and discos, while Marmaris' main promenade has bars galore open until dawn. Bodrum offers a blend of international and traditional entertainment, while for a calm and relaxed evening on the waterfront, try Olu Deniz, Iclemer and Altinkum. The distinctive Aegean Coast and the ‘Turquoise' Mediterranean Coast are home to many of Turkey's most popular holiday destinations, and it's not hard to see why. Families and beach lovers flock here for the unbeatable combination of endless beaches and blue seas, while older families find something for everyone in the bigger, busier resorts. Couples of all ages head for the calmer, quainter resorts, while for the more intrepid, Turkey is a country literally littered with historical sights and its rich and varied landscape offers some highly recommended hiking. With something for everyone, Turkey pulls in all kinds of tourism. Along both of Turkey's major holiday coasts, white-washed towns neighbour huge marinas, and major cities have emerged alongside picturesque resorts that have lost little of their native flavour. The Aegean Coast is known for its cosmopolitan cities, pretty villages and spectacular sights, while on the Mediterranean Coast, mountains sweep down to the shoreline and beach resorts abound. With bustle of big resorts such as Gümbet and Marmaris, the subtler blend of old and new in Bodrum and Antalya or the beauty of Icmeler and Olu Deniz, Turkey has well and truly ensured it has catered for every type of holiday.
