Aydin sits on Turkey's Aegean coast, the part of the country that British holidaymakers tend to fall for first. The summers are long and dry, the sea is warm well into the autumn and the pace is gentler than the busier Mediterranean resorts further east.

It is an easy choice for families who want sand and shallow water, and for couples after good value sun without too much fuss. Most of the appeal here is simple: a beach, a pool and a short stroll to somewhere for dinner.

Where to stay in Aydin

Ephesia Holiday Beach Club in Aydin is a four star beachfront resort, a practical base if you want the sea on your doorstep and the usual club style facilities close to hand.

Getting there and when to go

The Aegean coast is well served by package flights from across the UK, usually with a coach transfer to your resort. The reliable run of sunshine stretches from late spring into October. July and August are hottest and busiest, while May, June and September bring kinder temperatures and quieter beaches.

Beaches and resorts

This stretch of coast is known for sandy bays and clear, calm water, which makes it comfortable for paddling and swimming. Resorts tend to cluster around the seafront, so you are rarely far from a sunbed, a pool or a shaded spot for a cold drink.

Food and things to do

Turkish cooking is one of the joys of a holiday here, from grilled meats and fresh fish to mezze, salads and plenty of fruit. Days are easily filled with swimming and lazing about, with boat trips and water sports on offer for anyone who wants a little more activity.

Who it suits

Aydin works well for families wanting straightforward beach days and for couples looking for warm value sun. It is more about relaxing than late nights, which is exactly why many British visitors return.
