Turkey is raising the bar... it's a numbers thing!

As the UK's No.1 overseas travel destination... Turkey has been raising the bar in terms of popularity and quality.

Recent industry surveys* carried out and publicly available statistics on sites like Wikipedia**, all the point to the fact that the country's draw for tourism is really taking the UK holiday and tourism market, by storm.

CAPTIVATING... NATURAL and DIFFERENT!

Turkey as a tourist destination has been described in many ways from "The Land Light"... a slogan used a few years ago by the official Turkish Ministry for Tourism.

You may have read one of the numerous newspaper articles about holiday adventures and capers contained in many of the broadsheet and tabloid UK newspapers.

Nowadays you can do your own research on the Internet and judge for yourself with a huge information resource from blogs like this, from feature articles and holiday review sites and the like.

So to give you a little further information and guidance about what Turkey has to offer the traveller, we will detail some of the highlights available in the region between the famous beach at Olu Deniz and the colourful marina and market town of Fethiye on Turkey's South Western coast.

Fethiye Bay
What is the typical holiday to Turkey?  The answer is, there is no typical Turkish holiday, because every holiday traveller is different and so are there holiday expectations and requirements.

Turkey has all the ingredients to meet most, if not all the expectations and requirements of the most demanding of modern travellers.

The country offers staggering natural beauty spots with stunning beaches, colourful resorts, plush marinas, bustling harbours and waterfront lifestyle in abundance.   There's a fascinating and interesting historical past which can be seen, touched and experienced in many ways.

Lycian Rock Tombs in Fethiye
There are a range of high energy holiday activities available from water sports like snorkeling, official PADI registered diving schools, fishing trips, water skiing and tandem paragliding off 6,500ft mountains that land on the beach.

For the more traditional organised family excursions there is an array of full and half day trips and excursions to try.  There are boats trips around the 12 Islands of Fethiye Bay.  A great full  or half day trip that cruises and meanders through the blue waters of Fethiye Bay, visiting uninhabited islands where you can swim directly off the boat and enjoy your time sunbathing and relaxing.

Other great trips and excursions include a Jeep Safari and the Mud Baths, Saklikent Gorge where a wild river runs through a ravine at great force and Thlos & The Endless Valley, where there is an ancient Roman Village and Amphitheatre.
Kaya Ghost Village

Kaya Ghost village which was once occupied by the Greeks and today is being slowly restored under careful restrictions to retain the true identity and charm of the village.

Turkey offers many traditional street markets and local craft shops which specialise in leather, and lace and the traditional carpet manufactures offer a insight in an ancient art form that is still thriving today.

All in all, Turkey has so much to offer the traveller.

Great weather, where temperatures can top 40 degrees plus in the high summer months and outstanding value for money.  You can still enjoy a nice lunch with a drinks round from between £22-£30 GBP for a family of 4.  

A holiday or vacation to Turkey is a must if you are on a tight budget... and lets face it, that pretty much includes all of us in these pressing times.  So to make your money go further this summer and find out why Turkey is proving so popular... why not book your holiday to Turkey, today.

Some Easter Holiday dates still available but they are limited.  Summer Dates are showing signs of heavy booking patterns... so to get the pick of the best villas and apartments or the best hotel rooms with that special view, make contact soon.

Invasion of a modern kind... Turkey is set to attract record numbers

Turkey's rise to become the "Jewel in The Crown" travel destination for the European travel and tourism market has seen impressive and sustained growth for the past 10 years.

In 2000 - 8 million visitors, in 2010 - 28.6 million visitots... source wikipedia*

There have been many opinions expressed and words written as to how and why this phenomenal growth has taken place,  but if you ask me, I feel there are just a few simple fundamental reasons why.

Take a further look for yourself ...

Olu Deniz Beach on Turkey's sunny Turquoise Coast
Yes... there are lots of contributing factors that have assisted the substantial rise in tourism and visitor numbers to Turkey.

Many of the most popular holiday and vacation destinations on Turkey's beautiful Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea coastline resorts have experienced a huge increase in visitors but this is also reflected to the countries interior and key cities.

Opinions have been stated that it is due to the fact that Turkey is a non Euro zone area, where many of the traditional holiday destinations have suffered in recent years due to the exchange rates and economic climate, making them by comparison, far more expensive than Turkey.

The fact is, it is due to all these points that Turkey has has taken up the mantle as the top tourism spot.   The country has a natural scenic beauty with stunning beaches, clean, clear blue seas a  unique and unusual culture and a warm and welcoming local population.

Pretty Karagozler Bay, Fethiye
One region really experiencing the rise in visitor numbers is the area between Fethiye and Olu Deniz.  This traditional holiday and vacation region offers all the ingredients that go to make for happy holiday experiences.

With some of the most stunning scenery to be found anywhere in Turkey or the Mediterranean for that matter, this region has dramatic mountain backdrops, wonderful stretches of golden sand beaches, colourful marinas and natural rocky bays.


In comparison to many of the Euro land holiday destinations, the cost of day to day holiday essentials are very much cheaper, with a typical lunch on the seafront for a family of 2 adults and 2 children with a drinks round, typically costing between £25-£40 GBP.

12 Islands of Fethiye Bay Boat Tour
A full boat trip of the 12 Islands of Fethiye Bay costs from around £8.00 per person including lunch on board.  You can hire a car from around £22-£30 per day including air conditioning and collision damage waiver insurance.

Turkey represents excellent value for money especially if considering the self catering option by renting a villa or an apartment from Artemisia Holiday Rentals.  Prices start from as little £203 for a 7 night stay in April on an accommodation only basis, for up to 4 persons.

With an abundance of supermarkets and local mini markets in many of the key holiday resorts like Olu Deniz, Ovacik, Husaronu and Calis Beach and fresh a vegetable and fish market in Fethiye, you will find the prices for food and provisions very good.

At today's currency rates provided by XE Currency iPhone App. @ £1.00 GBP = 2.7918 TRY Lira and 1.1876 Euros.
