The city of Antalya is a modern metropolis blessed with long sandy beaches in the region and sunshine approximately 300 days a year. It’s no surprise that so many sun seekers come here during their bathing vacation. The offer is accordingly top: from well-maintained hotels to romantic apartments and all kinds of water sports – there is something for everyone here. However, the beaches are full during the summer months. If you like a little more calm, you should come outside the main holiday periods.

Fly: Anyone interested in the ancient beginnings of Antalya will find what they are looking for at Hadrian’s Gate. This arch was once the entrance gate of the ancient city with its harbor.

It is beautiful in places along the Turkish Riviera in the south of the country. In addition to Antalya, the city of Alanya is especially popular with its wide beaches and entertainment offers. However, the neighboring town of Gazipaşa, which is less crowded, also offers beautiful beaches and accommodation. Plus point: The city is pretty quiet and rural, so you won’t find regular hotels with all-inclusive offers here. It is ideal for those who seek peace and want to enjoy the beautiful beach without the crowds.

Turkey means not only coastal tourism and large hotel complexes, but also cultural richness and sustainability. For example, you can see this in the district of Çıralı. It is also on the Turkish Riviera, 70 kilometers south of the Antalya metropolis. Çıralı specializes in sustainable ecotourism for families and those seeking peace. Some areas are under nature protection. Here you will find not the typical tourist infrastructure, but beautiful nature and holidays with lots of peace and awareness.

Fly: Olympos National Park, with its beach of the same name, is especially beautiful. There are also unusual accommodation options such as tree houses.

Kumköy district is located between Antalya and the popular holiday resort of Side. Side’s neighbor is slightly smaller and has fewer resorts. Therefore, the beaches are less crowded. However, it is not far from Side, which offers everything that makes a holiday especially enjoyable with its lively nightlife, good restaurants and culture. You will be spoiled for choice in Kumköy: rest and relaxation, shopping and sightseeing in beautiful Antalya or swimming in Side.

Fly: Other neighboring districts of Side are Çolaklı and Titreyengöl. There are, of course, also wonderful accommodation with sea views.

Besides the white beaches on the Çeşme peninsula, the picturesque old town is also worth seeing. Since Çeşme is not far from İzmir city, local people also like to come here. While this raises prices compared to other resorts, it’s definitely worth it. Because the colorful buildings and the white beach remind the Greek Santorini atmosphere.

Fly: Art galleries and tasteful apartments form the special attraction of the Çeşme Peninsula. It’s worth spending a few nights here to immerse yourself in the local cultural offerings.

The rich and beautiful have fun not only in French Saint-Tropez, but also in Bodrum on Turkey’s west coast. The place attracts not only vacationers, but also many wealthy locals. Fortunately, the peninsula offers enough space for everyone with its numerous beaches. Even those looking for a versatile carefree hotel on the beach will find what they are looking for here. The weekly market at the city’s bus station is also worth seeing.

Fly: Once a small fishing village, Bodrum has evolved into an elegant seaside resort over time. The harbor is a great place to sip your coffee and watch the world go by.

Kalkan is a town on the Lycian coast, southwest of Antalya. If you want to spend your holiday in this region, you will find a beautiful fishing port, a beautiful old town and a gently rugged beach in Kalkan. Despite a few hotels, Kalkan has preserved its original character in this way. Tourism in a quiet place is more geared towards a relaxed atmosphere than welcoming as many tourists as possible.

Fly: The resort town of Kas is just a few kilometers away. Also definitely worth a visit!

The town of Ölüdeniz in the south of Turkey has gained worldwide fame for its picturesque «Blue Lagoon». It is on the very photogenic Lycian coast with its sea of ​​all shades of blue like Kalkan. The white sand beach and the forested hills beyond make a perfect contrast. Oludeniz beach is very wide and there are many hotel complexes and resorts which are very busy especially in summer.

Fly: Families and couples looking for entertainment, especially on holidays, will find what they are looking for in Ölüdeniz. The offer is very diverse and the scenery is picturesque.
