Holiday In Turkey Is Highly Recommended As It Has So Much To Offer
I strongly suggest holidays in Turkey. It is a wonderful country packed with diversity. No matter what your interests. If it is culture that you like, then Turkey history is dripping with antiquity including the famous Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. If it is sunshine you are longing, then the weather conditions in Turkey is brilliant with coasts stretched across the Aegean and Mediterranean and if it is nightlife and a bustling lifestyle, then Istanbul or Bodrum will provide a wealth of nightclubs and restaurants to name a few places. The holidays in Turkey have never disappointed us.
Bodrum is a comfortable place to stay. You have many restaurants to choose from ranging from small coffee shops where you can have pizza, to expensive restaurants where you can try true Turkish food which is fabulous. In Bodrum itself there are several restaurants that look over the busy harbour where you can sit and watch the world go by. The evening sight is spectacular with the sun setting and the castle lit up on the hill.
We stayed just outside Bodrum in Ortakent which is much quieter although you still have the luxury of well stocked shops KIPA (owned by Tesco) and Burger King in case the need takes you!. The smaller cities outside of Bodrum offer a quieter experience where you can sit by the water enjoying freshly caught fish whilst watching the fishermen and the little boats sail across the harbours. Other villages such as Bitez are based by the sea hence many of the restaurants are actually on the beach.
We decided to drive up to Ephesus when staying in Bodrum. Ephesus houses the largest collection of Roman remains in the eastern Mediterranean with only about 15% of it having been excavated. The ruins that are identifiable give some idea of the city's original magnificence, the thought that people had walked the streets in 60AD is mind boggling and to walk along streets from the past and enjoy the architecture is a trip that I would strongly suggest.
Patara is a different experience set further south on the Mediterranean. You can see one of the best beaches you can imagine. Patara beach is 75km south of Fethiye and is around 20km long. When we went it was not crowded, had white sand and because it is 20km in length meant you can walk along the shore until you found a place that you were happy with. The sea was warm and clear and we spent a few days there which is unusual for me, as I am not actually a beach lover. Also Patara beach perhaps has the claim of the birthplace of Santa Claus. Work that one out if you can. Just back from the shore is an Amphitheatre. We visited this on a Sunday morning and had the entire site to ourselves. Amazing to be able to go around an Amphitheatre and not have to share it with anyone. You can actually start to picture what it must have been like back in the Roman days.
Along the coast from Patara is Kalkan which we used to visit regularly for an evening food. Kalkan is set up more for the tourist so you can find many shops, apartments some very good roof top eateries where you can eat and look out to sea and a busy nightlife.
I love Turkey. I recommend holidays in Turkey to everyone as it has so much to offer
