Varied landscape, fascinating history & hospitable Turks
With a resort holiday at the Turkish Aegean Coast you decide for a relaxed holiday with that certain extra: The Aegean region is characterised by its scenic variety: Alongside its rugged coastline there are endless beaches of fine sand and secluded rocky bays. The foothills of the Taurus Mountains reach as far as the turquoise-blue Mediterranean, while olive groves and lush green pine forests form the charming backdrop to other dream beaches. Only a few kilometres separate first-rated party locations such as Bodrum or Marmaris from traditional fishing villages with oriental flair.
Those interested in culture value the Aegean region as "the largest open-air museum in the world": Where Persians, Romans and Greeks ruled in ancient times, world-famous archaeological sites are among the most important sights today. Unforgettable excursions lead to the ruins of Ephesus with its legendary Celsus Library, to the legendary city of Troy, to Pergamon or Miletus. In the hinterland, ancient civilizations appreciated the healing effects of the mud baths of Sultaniye and the thermal waters of the white sinter terraces of Pamukkale.
