Beaches and Coastal Gems

The Turkish coastline is defined by its variety. You can choose between the vibrant, high-energy shores of Marmaris and Icmeler, or head further afield to the stunning vistas of Oludeniz and Fethiye. The Alanya region, with its popular spots like Oba and Konaklı, offers a more sprawling feel with plenty of space for families to settle on the sand. Whether you are in Side, Belek, or Bodrum, the combination of warm weather and easy access to the sea makes these towns ideal for a classic week of sunshine.

When to Go and Getting Around

Most British travellers opt for the summer months when the temperature is at its peak and the Mediterranean is perfectly warm. Flights from major UK hubs like Manchester and Liverpool are frequent, landing you in key gateways such as Antalya or Dalaman, from where your resort transfer is usually short and straightforward. If you prefer things slightly cooler and quieter, late spring and early autumn are excellent times to visit, as the resorts remain open but the pace of life becomes a little more relaxed.

Food and Experiences

Beyond the hotel buffets and all-inclusive menus, the local food culture is a highlight of any trip. You will find that local towns are filled with traditional spots serving fresh, flavourful plates. Activities here often revolve around the water; you can spend your days participating in watersports, taking boat trips along the coast, or simply strolling through the charming old towns found in places like Kusadasi or Antalya. If you prefer to stay inland, areas like Ovacik offer a different perspective, with beautiful hillside scenery that provides a welcome breeze during the height of the summer.

Who Should Choose Turkey?

Turkey is incredibly versatile. Families love it for the wide range of kid-friendly hotels, many of which feature pools and activities to keep the younger ones occupied. Couples, meanwhile, often gravitate toward the boutique-style properties in places like Bodrum or the more secluded resorts in the Fethiye region. With such a vast selection of towns—from the energy of Muratpaşa and Lara to the laid-back vibes of Didim and Akbük—there is a corner of the coast that suits every traveller’s pace.
