THE LITTLE TRAVELLER
IN TURKEY
A major historical crossroads
between Europe and Asia,
Turkey borders the Black Sea
the Aegean and the
Mediterranean and its long
long coastline boast many
small and large holiday
resorts. Turkey is still
being discovered by the
UK tourist but its cheap
food and drink make for a
good value,low budget holiday.
As in Greece,self-catering
and pension style
accomodation is a good
option.
Also becoming popular are
flotilla/sailing holidays
around the islands and
towns of the Aegean.
Main resorts incl:
Izmir
Kusadasi
Bodrum
Cesme
Marmaris
Fetiye
Antalya
Istanbul is featured as
a city break in may
brochures
(ie Thomsons,Travelscene
BA Citybreaks)
Whilst the major coastal
resorts are becoming fairly
well developed, the Turkish
hinterland still has much
poverty and this can come
as a bit of a culture
shock to the traveller who
considers Turkey to be
a European power.
