I strongly suggest holidays in Turkey. It is a wonderful country packed with diversity. No matter what your preferences. If it is culture that you like, then Turkey history is dripping with antiquity such as the renowned Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In case it is sunshine you are longing, then the weather in Turkey is brilliant with coasts stretched across the Aegean and Mediterranean and if it is nightlife and a bustling lifestyle, then Istanbul or Bodrum will provide a wealth of nightclubs and dining places to name just a few places. The holidays in Turkey have never dissatisfied us.

Bodrum is a convenient place to stay. You have a lot of restaurants to choose from ranging from small coffee shops where you can get pizza, to expensive restaurants where you can try true Turkish food which is fabulous. In Bodrum itself there are several restaurants that look over the busy harbour for you to sit and watch the world go by. The evening outlook is spectacular with the sun setting and the fortress lit up on the hill.

We stayed just near Bodrum in Ortakent which is much less noisy although you still have the luxury of well stocked shops KIPA (owned by Tesco) and Burger King if the need takes you!. The smaller cities outside of Bodrum offer a quieter experience where you can sit by the water enjoying freshly caught fish whilst observing the fishermen and the little boats sail across the harbours. Other villages like Bitez are based by the sea and so many of the restaurants are in fact on the beach.

We decided to drive up to Ephesus when staying in Bodrum. Ephesus contains the largest collection of Roman remains in the eastern Mediterranean with only about 15% of it having been excavated. The ruins that are identifiable give some insight into the city's original glory, the thought that people had walked the streets in 60AD is incredible and to walk along streets from the past and appreciate the architecture is a tour that I would strongly suggest.

Patara is a completely different experience set further south on the Mediterranean. You can see one of the best beaches you can imagine. Patara beach is 75km south of Fethiye and is around 20km long. When we went it was not congested, had white sand and because it is 20km in length meant you can walk along the beach until you found a point that you were satisfied with. The sea was warm and clear and we spent a few days there which is unusual for me, as I am not really a beach lover. Also Patara beach perhaps has the claim of the birthplace of Santa Claus. Work that one out if you can. Just back from the shore is an Amphitheatre. We checked out this on a Sunday morning and had the complete site to ourselves. Fantastic to be able to look around an Amphitheatre and not have to share it with anybody. You can actually start to imagine what it must have been like back in the Roman days.

Along the coast from Patara is Kalkan which we used to visit regularly for an evening food. Kalkan is set up more for the traveler so you will see many shops, houses some very good roof top dining places where you can eat and look out to sea and an active nightlife.

I love Turkey. I recommend holidays in Turkey to anyone as it has so much to offer
