Holidays in Turkey

Turkey is a stunning country that reflects a fusion of both Eastern and Western culture. Turkey sits between two continents and is home to both European aspirations and Asian traditions and despite it's location, the unpredictable nature of the middle east blends seamlessly into the relaxed lifestyle of the Mediterranean. Turkey is proud home to countless opportunities for sight seeing and contains both historical and architectural wonders such as Roman aqueducts and Byzantine Churches. The country's landscape is both beautiful and varied with stunning beaches and picturesque mountain ranges. There are countless activities to be enjoyed such as exploring seaside towns, many of which have large shopping areas known as Bazaars, in which it is expected that you 'haggle' with the sellers so there are plentiful bargains up for offer. Many hotels and resorts often offer complementary boat trips and tours of other towns and cities so it is worth exploring these options. The food eaten in Turkey is similar to other Mediterranean countries such as Greece. Breakfasts are of a continental style with meats, cheeses and Turkish breads followed by a lunch that often consists of a rice or bulgar dish with sausage or lamb. Dinner is equally ample offering meats, fish, vegetables, olives and specialities such as stuffed vine leaves and pickles followed by Turkish coffee and pastries such as Baklava. The weather in Turkey varies and enjoys very hot temperatures of up to forty degrees Celsius in the summer and cooler climates in the winter but it is generally quite mild and in early Autumn the average temperature is approximately 20 degrees Celsius. It is possible to get flights to Turkey for under £100 depending on your choice of destination. If you choose to travel to Istanbul, for example, a very popular destination with holiday makers due to its historical and cultural diversity you can get flights for as little as £148 including all fees and taxes or for flights to Antalya, a lesser known region of Turkey, it would cost just £94 from Cheapflights.co.uk. Monarch is also worth a look for affordable Turkey Holidays. In terms of cheap hotels the prices will again vary greatly depending on your chosen location, but for a week long stay in Istanbul it is possible to secure a 4* hotel for just £336 or a 3* hotel for as little as £266 from Lastminute.com
