Turkey Travel Tips
Why Go To Turkey?
If you are looking for a guarantee of sunshine where the beaches are great and the water is clear and warm, a Turkey holiday may be the answer. With water sports, tennis and golf and a variety of tourist attractions and recreational activities, a Turkey holiday keeps everyone happy.
Who Is Turkey Popular With?
Turkey holidays have wide appeal as they can satisfy all age groups. There are great beaches for families, good courses for golfers, an abundance of ancient sites and monuments for those with an interest in the distant past, and plenty of sporting opportunities both in and out of the water.
When To Go To Turkey
Turkey holidays can be taken from April to the end of October, with the mercury rising to high thirties in peak season. Those on a cultural tour may prefer early and late season when the heat of the sun is less ferocious.
Turkey Nightlife
Turkey nightlife depends very much on the resort you choose. There are lively resorts and cities where the party atmosphere continues into the early hours of the morning. Conversely, there are many family friendly resorts where hotels provide the evening entertainment.
Shopping In Turkey
Turkey is a great place to shop with bazaars and markets, boutiques and craft shops all waiting for your lira. Or so you'd think. Nobody wants lira. Not even taxi drivers or stall holders. Everyone wants dollars, euros or pounds. Remember that prices are inflated and you need to haggle for your holiday bargains. The most popular purchases are leather goods, followed closely by carpets, jewellery, silk and pottery.
Eating Out In Turkey
Turkey eating brings you a delightful combination of influences from the Mediterranean, central Asia and the Middle East. Lamb and beef are the most popular meats, often accompanied with rice or couscous. Vegetables play an important part in the diet. Meze is the equivalent of the Spanish tapas and it gives you the opportunity to sample new flavours. Restaurants cater for all tastes serving everything from traditional fare to international cuisine. Local wines offer good value.
