With a rich history, vibrant nightlife and gorgeous natural landscape, Turkey is the ideal place for a group holiday. A diverse country, there is something to suit every type of holidaymaker, making it one of the best destinations for a group holiday.
Often described as the point ‘where East meets West’, or as being at ‘the crossroads of history’, Turkey has a rich culture. The brush strokes of history can be seen on every corner: this region has perhaps the greatest concentration of major ancient sites in Turkey, with Ephesus being one of the most famous of these.
The Aegean is Turkey’s most westerly strip of land and the country’s most beautiful and varied coastline. There are some world-class beaches, crystal clear waters and a rich marine life. Kuşadası and the smaller resorts of Altınkum and Gümbet are ideal places to enjoy the natural beauty of the coastline, while Çeşme is a windsurfer’s paradise. Similarly, if you head to the east of Lycian Turkey, you’ll find some of the best beaches in the country.
There are several hotspots in Turkey that promise a vibrant nightlife. Marmaris in particular is a magnet for party-goers. The cocktail bars and pubs are concentrated along the Uzunyalı waterfront and in the town along Hacı Mustafa Sokak (known as Bar Street). “Areena” is probably the largest club in town.
Antalya’s rich history is still very much in evidence from its old Ottoman cobbled streets to stunning examples of Byzantine architecture. The city centre of Antalya harbours an enticing blend of Eastern and Western influences.
