OVERVIEW OF TOP RESORTS IN TURKEY
There are many excellent resorts in Turkey, each of which can provide tourists with everything they need for a comfortable and unforgettable vacation, but the tour operator ALF highlights the top places that are guaranteed to please you.
Istanbul
It is one of the cities most visited by tourists on the planet. And if you have not yet managed to walk along the shores of the Bosphorus, then you should start planning your vacation in Turkey right now. It is mandatory to see all the sights of the city, namely, the unique Hagia Sophia (which is about 1700 years old, and it is considered the main decoration of ancient Istanbul), Topkapi Palace, where you can walk around the harem, look at the meeting hall of the Ottoman government and look at the treasury of all the sultans of the Great Ottoman Empire. And of course, don't forget about the Blue Mosque or the Sultanahmet Mosque.
Another reason to visit Istanbul is to visit this sanctuary of the city, the Kapala Bazaar, which was founded in the 15th century. Almost 4,000 stalls with goods for every taste will not let you leave empty-handed. And of course, the Turkish hammam, which will be appreciated even by those who do not like to steam in a bath. Do not underestimate the pleasure you can get from visiting a real hammam. And you can make sure of the power of Turkish baths in the hammam next to Kadyrga Park, which has been in operation since the 18th century. For three centuries, the hammam has been providing its guests with a unique spa service at the highest level.
Cappadocia
A magical city where people live in caves, climb high cliffs to admire beautiful sunsets, fly in hot air balloons and drink delicious wine, because Cappadocia is also a wine region! Be sure that the unique and even alien landscapes of Cappadocia are worth coming here. At the same time, Cappadocia is beautiful at any time of the year. There is always transport here all year round, as well as open museums, amazing underground cities. Also, regardless of the season, you can fly in a hot air balloon here. There is no sea here, but you can feel the pleasant coolness of the caves and always a comfortable temperature, besides, juicy vegetables will be waiting for you in Turkish breakfasts right in the fresh air.
Antalya coast
THOSE who are planning their holiday in Turkey for the first time and experienced travelers will be pleasantly surprised by the Antalya coast with excellent service and opportunities for a truly comfortable vacation. And, first of all, the sea resort simply beckons with a long coastline that begins in the northern part of the Aegean Sea and ends only in Antalya. Every tourist will find a vacation to his taste, because there are luxurious 5-star hotels, modest but cozy guesthouses, and real boutique hotels overlooking the Black Sea.
Summer is the perfect time to relax in Antalya, as the hot days here are perfect for relaxing by the sea or the pool, as well as chocolate tanning and a delicious dinner under the open sky. However, you should not underestimate Antalya in winter, because Antalya winters are radically different from the European climate.
