Turkey is a rich country in every sense of the word. It has everything: culture, history, unique cuisine, friendly citizens – how can you not love it? Speaking of tourism, the country takes the leading position based on this. We will take apart with you the best cities to visit.
Antalya
Probably there is no person who at least once would not have heard of Antalya. This is without exaggeration the most popular resort of the Mediterranean Sea and Turkey in particular. This city can be called a “city for everyone”, because here everyone can find entertainment. Young people will visit a large number of different bars, clubs, and couples with children on the beach or at the hotel, as the city has a decent amount of institutions, adapted for a relaxing type of rest.
Also in Antalya, there are many places to go and see something. For example, the Gates of Andrian (Arch of Triumph) were built back in 130 BC in honor of the arrival of the Roman Emperor Hadrian.
Bursa
One of the largest cities in Turkey, long ago was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. Modern Bursa is a city in which the suburbs and the historical center successfully harmonize. In the latter one can see fantastic mosques, mausoleums and museums.
The city has a lot to offer the tourist a lot of entertainment – from a simple walk to a cultural holiday in a restaurant. The cuisine of Turkey is very specific and delicious, what’s just rahat-lucum! Be sure to buy and try at the local market.
Kemer
The next on the list is the city of Kemer. For young tourists, Kemer will seem boring, because the nightlife here is worse than in Antalya. The disadvantages are that almost all the beaches are pebble. Also this city is very popular with the Russians, so those who wanted to isolate themselves from the citizens of their country, this fact will bring some discomfort. By the way, this city is located 75 km from Antalya, so you can visit two at once. And in Kemer itself you can see the ancient aqueducts and amphitheaters, basilicas and baths.
Alanya
Alanya is a city with a very large port, at one time the Silk Road passed through it. One of the symbols of Alanya is the Red Tower, which was built in 1226, it is 30 meters high, and from it you can see the whole city.
Marmaris
Looking for a family vacation? You should consider the best tours in Marmaris. This city is considered the best place to relax with children. On the coast there is a huge number of beaches that were awarded the Blue Flag. It is here you can swim in two seas: the Mediterranean and the Aegean. In the city and its surroundings can be seen many interesting and beautiful places. For example, an ancient fortress (its foundations were laid as early as the 11th century BC), and you can also mention a singing fountain in the Ataturk Park. There are no direct flights to the city, so you have to drive from Dalaman to Marmaris for about another hour. It is a very quiet and peaceful place, but it does not lose its uniqueness.
Fethiye
When asked what is the most picturesque city in Turkey, feel free to answer – Fethiye. Before you go on vacation to the resort, get memory cards, because in Fethiye is so much cool and beautiful places that sometimes you will not have enough memory on your phone or camera. In addition, you can easily rent a decent hotel room in the city for not much money. As for the parties, there is a decent amount of them. So you will not get bored. The way to get to Fethiye is the same as to get to Marmaris: First you get to Dalaman, and then you have to drive or take a bus 45 km to Fethiye.
Belek
Belek is a resort with a very extensive coastline of 20 km, which distinguishes it from other resorts. The city itself is located 30 km east of Antalya and is one of the favorite tourist destinations in Turkey. Its territory is dominated by mostly four and five-star hotels. Based on this you can understand that the prices here “bite”. At the moment the most expensive hotel costs 600 thousand rubles for a week of stay. Also in the city there are many historical places.
Bodrum
In the very west of the country stretches the beautiful city of Bodrum. Its location gives not only climatic changes, but also cultural ones. The city is closely connected with Greece. Its culture is present almost at every step. Bodrum will love young people, as partying here is not only in clubs, bars, but also in some hotels. A great place for a tour for young couples.
Didim
The truly mysterious and mythical city of Didim is located on the shores of the Aegean Sea. According to the legend, this is the place where Medusa Gorgon lived. Among the sights is the greatest temple of Apollo. This resort town differs from its competitors by the fact that it has a relatively low attendance, and it does not enjoy much popularity among our compatriots. But this does not mean that the beaches in it are bad. On the contrary, they are simply magnificent here. The city is placed between Bodrum and Kusadasi, so there are no direct flights to it. This is probably the only disadvantage of the resort.
