Like some destinations, your trip to Turkey will not be boring. Just like its location astride two continents, Turkey's culture is a blend of Eastern and Western traditions.
Holidays at Turkey include more than just the beaches. The country is also famous for its rich history. Located right at the junction of two continents, the area was cherished by both, the East and the West. The legacies of these cultures are a delight for the tourists of the present time.
The spectacular ‘Ottoman Mosques’, the Greek theatre of ‘Fethiye’, the beautifully preserved ‘Roman City of Ephesus’, the Crusader's Fortress, small villages found all over the country and the variety of spices, fabrics, hand-woven rugs and porcelain ceramics attract millions of tourists from all around the world.
As soon as you're done with sightseeing, don't forget to try the Mediterranean's finest cuisine. Sit outside in one of Marmara's numerous restaurants and watch the passing parade while indulging in Meze (Turkish way of serving food), dish after dish of local delicacies.
Istanbul, once famous as the capital of capitals, is unique in its own way. It's the only city in the world that straddles two continents, and the only city to be the capital during two consecutive empires, both the Christian and the Islamic. Once the capital of the Ottoman Empire, the city is still the commercial, historical, and cultural pulse of Turkey, and its beauty is in its ability to embrace the contradictions of time. Istanbul attracts a lot of tourists every year. The bustling shopping area of Taksim is full of life and entertainment. The perfection of the Bosphorus, Princes Islands, and parks bring a touch of peace to the otherwise chaotic metropolitan.
Ankara is the capital city of Turkey and the second largest city. Ankara is home to numerous museums, enough to satiate the thirst of any traveller. Just like the rest of the country, Ankara is home to many mosques of the Ottoman Era. Besides mosques, visitors can spend their time touring around the ancient Roman Baths, the Column of Julian, Roman Theatre and the Temple of Augustus and Rome. Besides all these, tourists should pay a visit to the Presidential Palace too.
Pamper yourself with a luxury holiday to Turkey this summer season. Accommodation in Turkey ranges from 5-star hotels to simple tents in vast plateaus. Therefore, their prices hugely vary as well. All major cities including Istanbul, Ankara, and other tourist spots have 5-star hotels. International hotel chains like Hilton, Sheraton, Ritz-Carlton, and Conrad etc. own most of these hotels. Many of them have simple architectures; however some, especially the ones situated out of cities, are bungalows with private gardens as well as private swimming pools.
If you have a holiday package in mind especially for a Mediterranean Resort, it would be better to book before you leave for your holiday rather than after reaching Turkey itself. The difference between the two is considerable, and there is a chance that you might end up paying twice as much if you simply walk-in the resort.
