Active holidays Turkey

With a diverse landscape, gorgeous coastline and fascinating history Turkey is a great destination for an active holiday.

There are some beautiful sandy beaches on the coast that feature some fantastic beach resorts. There is a huge selection of water sports and activities available, including kite-surfing, wind-surfing and paragliding. With sparkling blue seas and a rich marine life, Turkey is a great place to try scuba-diving. Most main resorts have centres where you can go on a taster dive or even complete your PADI qualification course.

From the marinas in the resorts you can organize cruises around the coastline. You can explore hidden coves and beautiful, secluded islets in-accessible by road, or visit historical sites. Trips usually include stops for swimming and a seafood lunch.

There are also lots of activities available away from the waters. Inland, you can hire bikes to explore the landscape, or go horse riding. There are jeep safaris and canyoning trips, not to mention the aquaparks. Or, you can always try Turkey’s most famous footpath, the 509-km (316-mile) Lycian Way, which begins at Fethiye and mirrors the coastline until it reaches Antalya on the Mediterranean coast.

With an array of activities, beautiful scenery and long, sunny days, Turkey is ideal for active holidays.
