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.

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 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.
