Turkey is one of my favorite holiday destinations. It offers fantastic opportunities for families who want to enjoy child friendly holidays, couples looking for romantic getaway and travelers who want a unique sun and sea based getaway. Holidays in Turkey always offer me some sweet memories. The mesmerizing coastline, culture and mouthwatering cuisine add zing to my holidays.
Though I visited various tourist destinations in Turkey, Icmeler is the most favorite place for me. It is located in the south east coast of Turkey. The beach resort of Icmeler offers a relaxed village atmosphere, without compromising with the modern amenities. The turquoise waters and steep hills covered by pine forests enhance my holiday mood greatly. The resort is clean and well maintained. Icmeler features well kept gardens that soften the lines of hotels and apartment blocks. The restaurants serve the best food items. I used to relish the local specialties like kebabs, clay pot casserole with some Turkish wine or raki, which is the traditional aniseed spirit. Indian, Italian and Chinese menus are served in the Majestic Restaurant here. Iclemer supports plenty of water sports. Expedition to Cleopatra’s Isle, the Pamukkale waterfalls renowned for their curative spring waters and the archeological site of Ephesus offer some memorable experiences.
Marmaris is another splendid spot in Turkey. Once I set my foot here, I start enjoying the true holiday aura. It is a Turkish Rivera, which offers plenty of accommodation and entertainment options. Catamaran trips, water skiing, scuba diving, sailing and parasailing are some of the fantastic activities that can be enjoyed here. It is located just 8 km away from Icmeler. Marmaris offers a delightful shopping experience. In the downtown bazaar, we can buy natural sponges, the local blue glass beads, carpets, embroidery and sandals at competitive prices. Atlantis water Park in Marmaris boasts of attractions for fun lovers of all ages. Mini golf, restaurants, kids pool, wave pool and numerous slides offer a full day fun for the entire family. The park is located on the sea front with private beach. It offers free sun beds and umbrellas throughout the day.
Dalyan is a beautiful river bank town in Turkey. As it is quite different from other resort towns in Turkey, I like to visit it during my trips to Turkey. Dalyan Cayi, Lycian tombs and Iztuzu Beach are some of the stunning locations to visit here. It is also famous for therapeutic mud baths.
I’ve heard that Turkey is very expensive but it’s worth visiting it if you have some money..
