Turkey offers the double attraction of a sunshine holiday and an abundance of sites of historical interest. There’s also the quirkiness of visiting a capital city that spans two continents! Turkey’s capital is typically the launch pad for getting to know Turkey and the city possesses a wealth of things for tourists to see and do. Istanbul is a vast city and straddles Europe and Asia, with the line of demarcation being the massive Bosporus Strait. Blessed with a Mediterranean climate, the Aegean Coast will appeal to families that enjoy sunshine, relaxing on beaches, and all manner of water-related activities. Make Bodrum your base and you can snorkel on great beaches such as Bitez or you can take a boat trip to explore secluded coves and bays. Bodrum’s clear warm waters make it one of the diving capitals of the world and divers enjoy the thrill of dive sites located close to ancient wrecks.
