Antalya

Turkey is a country where 'east' traditionally meets 'west', and this wonderfully cosmopolitan land is still the best opportunity to experience a friendly European atmosphere combined with exotic Asian charm.

A vast and spectacular country with a rich history stretching back millennia, an increasing number of exceptional Turkish resorts are providing some of the best Mediterranean holidays on offer. For beach lovers on a last minute holiday to Turkey there are literally thousands of miles of simply stunning coastline, whilst inland there's a rich 1,000 year old heritage to enjoy.

Choose from the following resorts in Turkey:

Kiris

With plentiful water sports along the seafront and a handful of shops, bars and restaurants, Kirirs is a picturesque haven on the Mediterranean coast. On a cheap holiday to Turkey it makes an ideal base for those in search of complete relaxation.

Altinkum

A charming resort whose name translates as 'Golden Sands', Altinkum caters for its many visitors with superb hospitality, creating a relaxed atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of livelier resorts. At night Altinkum exudes life; with lots of bars and restaurants, and even an open-air disco!

Gumbet

In the past 15 years Gumbet has grown from a near deserted sandy bay into one of Turkey's most popular beach resorts, particularly with British holidaymakers. On a package holiday to Gumbet you are set in hills that are covered in square white villas and the beach is lined with hotels, bars and restaurants. The hilly little town centre behind the beach has its own 'bar street' where music beats out until the early hours.

Marmaris

Once a small fishing port, Marmaris has become popular with tourists on cheap holidays to Turkey. Located on the Aegean Coast, its town and marina is surrounded by pine-covered hills and rambling mountains.

Icmeler

10km from Marmaris, here you'll find peaceful shingle beaches fringed with pine tree forests, low-key nightlife and a good selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Alanya

Located on the Turkish Riviera, Alanya is situated in a beautiful bay overlooked by the Taurus Mountains and surrounded by banana, orange and lemon tree plantations. It's a well-established beach holiday resort, and the profusion of modern hotels, the international restaurants and bars are great for those on a self-catering holiday in Turkey and provide a super holiday atmosphere.

Hisaronu

The rugged pine-covered hills around Hisaronu provide a breathtakingly beautiful backdrop to this compact beach resort. Just a small village at the start of the 1980s, Hisaronu has been carefully developed to provide an often quaint and occasionally lively tourist resort with a super selection of restaurants, bars and shops, with historical and archaeological treasures, such as those at Ephesus, just a short excursion away.

Olu Deniz

Surely one of the most photographed beaches in Turkey, Olu Deniz is located by a stunning blue lagoon with crystal clear waters and a glorious long, curved sand & shingle beach. The area is a National Park, so the views are spectacular and there's a great selection of sights to see. There are plenty of watersports, bicycle hire and other daytime activities to choose from, and the promenade by the beach is home to a dazzling array of nightlife options - surely ideal for those looking for a fun filled package holiday to Turkey.
