Where's the best place to holiday in Turkey?

Question

I'm thinking of going on holiday to Turkey. I want a resort that's close to a beautiful beach with a romantic setting. I also want there to be lots of activities on offer such as canyoning and watersports. Where would be the best place to go?

Answer 1

Antalya, especially Belek in Antalya, as Is this Google Answers suggested. It is full of wonderful hotels and long, sandy golden beaches.

Fethiye/Ölü Deniz

Bodrum (Türkbükü, Gümbet, Turgutreis, Gündoğan, any place in Bodrum is fantastic)

If you want a very interesting vacation, then you can also try the tree houses of Olympos.

Answer 6

This may not be very helpful as you are looking for Turkey, but the region of Bordeaux in France is perfect for meeting the criteria.

Answer 7

Around Bodrum is nice not great beaches but plenty to do

Answer 8

hirsounu the montana pine is a lovley hotel up in the hills in that resort and its not too far from the town and the beach

Answer 9

KAS, that is the best place that i have ever been,  it was much like the keys in Florida, as far as layed back attitude and atmosphere, the B&Bs are so quaint and even an ex -pat bar called * harries*  of all things,  and on top of that,  the mountains are not far away,  and then there are big towns within an hour or so away, so i would say that KAS  is the best place to visit,   Good luck ..

Answer 10

We go to a place called Club Letoonia in Fethiye.

I love it there it is an A.I. and great value for money.  I do not usually go back to a place twice but will be my fourth visit in September.

It is a great place for a relaxing holiday or if you want a great place for exploring and not far from Blue Lagoon.

Answer 11

Go to Belek.  It's very close to Antalya.  The beaches there are very gorgeous and the hotels are wonderful!  They also have many water-sports along the beach such as jet skiing and dolphin boats, etc.  But I also think you'd enjoy ANY city that's near the coastline.  They all provide the things that you've mentioned.

Answer 12

Icmeler quieter  Marmarus more lively Olu Deniz

Answer 13

Practically any of the major resorts on the south coast to be honest. I don't think Turkey's beaches are brilliant - it's a bit rocky - but aside from that there are loads. The area around Bodrum is rather nice.
