Boat Cruises A visit to Turkey is not complete without a boat trip of some kind and traditional wooden gullet boats are on hand to take visitors on gentle cruises on the calm, turquoise waters. Turkey's dramatic coastline is best viewed from the sea and at Kekova you can even see a sunken Roman town beneath the crystal clear waters.
Ruins Turkey is the land where Eastern and Western cultures meet and the long and fascinating history of Persians, Greeks, Romans and Ottomans have left an incredible historic legacy to explore. Lycian tombs at Myra and the well-preserved ruined city of Ephesus are just some of the hundreds of important ancient sites to be discovered in Turkey.
Pamper yourself Take part in some natural healing with a therapeutic mud bath at Ilica or enjoy a thermal bath at Pamukkale where you can sit on submerged roman ruins as the warm spring waters take effect. Pamukkale is home to one of Turkey's most famous natural attractions - a spectacular white landscape of glittering limestone terraces and pools
Beach lovers paradise Turkey boasts a huge and varied coastline taking in the Mediterrranean and Agean seas in the south and Black sea in the north. An outstanding range of beaches are on offer from tiny coves with sunbathing platforms carved into solid rock in the East to the stunningly beautiful, teardrop shaped Oludeniz beach to the West.
Traditional Turkish evenings The Turkish people are rightfully proud of their long cultural heritage and traditional evenings are a fun way to get a real taste of Turkey. Buffet meals of local meze dishes are followed by folk dance troupes and belly dancers with plenty of opportunity for the more adventurous to get involved.
Swimming with Dolphins Getting close to nature is easy with a Turkey holiday. Turtles and dolphins are frequent visitors to the coast and its possible to spot both these creatures off the coast of Turkey. At the Dolphin Therapy Centre in Kas visitors have the opportunity to swim up close with a bottlenose dolphin.
