Nowhere else in the world can match holidays in Turkey for an incredible combination of eastern meets western culture. Turkey has a combination of beautiful beach resorts on its Mediterranean and Aegean coasts and a fascinating array of the traditional culture further inland, making Turkey holidays a firm favourite with visitors of all ages.
In Turkey's Mediterranean coastal resorts around Antalya, such as Marmaris, Calis, Olu Deniz and Dalaman, daily temperatures average over 30°C from the end of May through to the beginning of October. And with 10 hours of sunshine in May, peaking to 14 hours in July, coupled with virtually zero rainfall in the summer holiday season, a Turkey holiday will not disappoint where the weather is concerned.

Likewise in Turkey's Aegean coastal resorts further north such as Bodrum, Izmir and British package holiday favourite, Altinkum, the climate follows a similar pattern. Turkey's northern stretch of coast heats up from May onwards and temperatures hover around 33°C in June, July and August, excellent news for sun worshipers who can holiday on Turkey's Aegean coast and enjoy 14 hours of daily sunshine, perfect weather for topping up the holiday tan.
Even temperatures in Turkey's capital, Istanbul, often reach 25°C during the summer. Istanbul is a fascinating city divided by the Bosporus river which separates the European west and the Asian east, making Istanbul one of the cultural capitals of the world.
Istanbul's Grand Bazaar is reputedly the biggest covered market in the world and sells almost anything you can think of. Istanbul is also full of stunning architectural sites such as the enormous Blue Mosque built in the 1600's. The modern part of the city found in the European west side is the place to go for nightlife, entertainment and arts. Romans, Persians and Lycians have all fought over Turkey leaving their mark across the country. The ancient Roman city of Ephesus in the west of the country is fascinating as is the Neolithic village of Catal Huyuk which dates back thousands of years.
