By David Morrow


Vacations in Turkey offer one the opportunity of holidaying in a mild climate. Seas, lakes and rivers abound in this region and have lead to a boom in the cruise industry. Reasonable priced boat trips give visitors the opportunity of exploring the many historical and natural wonder sites. Abundant sun drenched beaches dot the coastline and are a popular destination.


Boat trips and cruises to visit ancient cities and everything else on offer leave daily and deciding what to see and where to go is difficult. Tours include visits to decorative frescoed rock churches, eroded rock formations and extraordinary volcanic gorges sculptured by Mother Nature that will leave one in awe. The multitude of castles, mosques, beautiful buildings with mosaic panels, museums telling of ancient civilizations filled with treasures will captivate the imagination of any visitor.

Explore the covered bazaars filled with aromatic smells of spices from across the globe. Authentic handmade gifts, jewelry, metal work, marvelous carpets and rugs and impressive kelims all vie with one another for the buyer's attention. Strike a bargain whilst savoring enjoying a cup of Turkish coffee.

Turkey has always been considered a strategic area. It has therefore had its share of history changing wars fought on its soil. This has led to the rich culture and varying architectural styles one see scattered around the countryside. As a result the style of food one finds here is a very tasty mix of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern.

Hiking, biking, river rafting, scuba diving, wind surfing the choices are endless that Turkey offers the tourist. Soccer is the sport of choice with a huge following and golf has recently been introduced with the construction of some fine courses.

No holiday to this area will be complete without a relaxing visit to an authentic Turkish bath. Turkish spas combine the authentic bath with the Western styled spa treatments to the less daring.

This mixed and varied culture living in these historical cities has much to offer. Markets that have traded for a millennium and street fairs will welcome one on vacations in Turkey. Accommodation is affordable, experiences enriching and a second visit a sure thing.
