There are plenty of things to do in this stunning destination, and our array of holidays to Turkey offers up some of the most exciting options - from sightseeing, mud baths, paragliding, hiking and horse riding to parasailing, white water rafting, diving, and golf.

If you're staying on the Bodrum coast, don't miss Bodrum Castle or a trip to historical Ephesus. On the Turquoise Coast, sail down the Dalyan River and spot beautifully preserved tombs and endangered loggerhead turtles.

Experience a hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia, relish the pure white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, hike part of the Lycian Way that runs along the Mediterranean Coast from Fethiye to Antalya, and take a scenic sightseeing cruise on The Bosphorus.

Nightlife in Turkey varies greatly, depending on where you choose to stay. Marmaris, Hisoronu, Bodrum, and Gumbet are awash with late-night bars, clubs, and discos perfect for party animals. Many Turkey all-inclusive hotels entertain you with Turkish nights with live music and belly dancing.

Diverse landscapes

The Antalya region of Turkey – along the country’s southern coastline – is affectionately known as the Turkish Riviera, thanks to its picturesque waterfront towns and over 400 miles of A-grade beaches. Point your binoculars in land, though, and you’ll see that the scenery there’s well worth a shout out, too. It’s stocked with everything from tour-worthy avocado plantations to the 3,700-metre-tall Taurus Mountains. We offer direct, four-and-a-half-hour flights to this part of Turkey from 13 different UK airports. You’ll land at Antalya Airport, a 15-minute drive from the city of the same name.

Amble around Antalya

The city of Antalya’s a real favourite with history buffs. They’re treated to an arm’s length list of Byzantine sights to explore, most of which you’ll find around the old quarter. Here, winding cobbled alleyways lined with restored Ottoman houses weave past pottery-packed archaeological museums. Plus, you can mix up your sightseeing sessions with a bit of shopping – top-name-brand boutiques are scattered all over Antalya. The Roman-Empire-aged marina, meanwhile, is the ideal place to end the day with a relaxing sunset stroll.

Family breaks to Side

If you prefer smaller, more peaceful towns, the Antalya area’s ripe with contenders. Take Side, for example. This settlement’s an hour’s drive east along the coast from the city, and it hits the spot when it comes to chilled-out trips. The harbour here’s lined with a group of traditional Turkish restaurants. And the two beaches – East and West Beach – offer up shallow water for younger holidaymakers to play in, as well as a handful of seaside bars that are perfect for parents.

If you'd prefer to visit Turkey privately with your friends and family, then we have lots of itineraries that can be booked off the shelf. Many of these tours include internal flights and they take in all the same spectacular highlights as our group tours, from the underground cities of Cappadocia to the ancient ruins of Ephesus and incredible Istanbul. And you'll still enjoy the services of our local English-speaking tour guides! Simply pick your departure date and start planning your next adventure!
