Turkey

Turkey

As the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Turkey has long held an important position on the edge of the Mediterranean. Today Istanbul embodies that tradition of east meets west, not quite in the European world, but holds many of those influences.

We have sold Turkish beach holidays for many years, Jackie’s son even worked there when he was a watersports instructor for Neilson Holidays. There are many good resorts, but we have always had a soft spot for the smaller, more traditional villages such as Kalkan or Kas. Kalkan for example, although built on a hillside as some fabulous small boutique hotels.

If staying on land isn’t your thing, then you could stay on a Gulet for the week, cruising along the Aegean coastline. Or alternative, head to the air, with a hot air balloon ride over beautiful Cappadocia.
