When most people think of Turkey, they think Istanbul. But there's so much more to this country than its largest city. From the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts to the central Anatolian plateau, Turkey has a diverse range of landscapes and cultures. And with over 300 days of sunshine per year, it is the perfect place to escape the winter blues.
Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach holiday or an action-packed adventure, Turkey has something for everyone. Wander the streets of Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, and you'll discover a city full of fascinating museums, tranquil gardens, and busy bazaars. Or take a trip to the world-famous Turkish baths to wind down and warm up.
For a smaller coastal city, head to the popular resort town of Antalya, which is known for its beaches dotted along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. It is also a long-time hot spot for tourists because it has a rich history and an attractive lifestyle. In fact, Antalya is the fourth most visited city in the world thanks to its sheer beauty – and we can see why.
For those looking for a physical challenge, there are plenty of hiking and climbing opportunities in Turkey. Mount Nemrut is a particular highlight – standing at nearly 7,000 feet, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.
With a climate that’s lovely all year-round and nearly 5,000 miles of coastline, Turkey winter sun holidays are the perfect opportunity to dive into the country’s fascinating culture and history without a worry in the world.
