Antalya
Nestled between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean, Antalya is home to some of Turkey’s best family resorts and attractions. The Land of Legends Theme Park and Antalya Aquarium deliver plenty of family fun, and you can also ride the Tahtalı Mountain cable car and take a boat trip to the Düden Waterfalls.
Istanbul
The sprawling city of Istanbul is brimming with evocative cultural and historical highlights, from the world-famous Hagia Sophia to the colourful Topkapi Palace. If you have little ones, head to the Legoland Discovery Centre or the Miniatürk complex, where they can feel like giants wandering through tiny replicas of national landmarks. If your kids are older, take a boat cruise along the Bosphorus Strait, which splits the continents of Europe and Asia right in the middle of Istanbul.
Bodrum
On family holidays in Bodrum, you can explore Bodrum Castle, which is also home to an underwater archaeology museum, and splash around at the Pirates Inn Cactus Aquapark. Visit the town’s lively bazaar and historic amphitheatre, and take a boat trip to Orak Island – the ‘Turkish Maldives’.
