Holiday apartments, holiday villas and holiday homes in Turkey

Turkey, the dividing line between the Asia and Europe, an enormous peninsula with approximately 8000 km of coastline which, stretches from the North, beginning at the Black Sea over the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits to the West with the dreamlike Aegean Sea and on to the South and the Mediterranean. The cultural diversity of this country is represented by the church towers and minarettes, which are never far away. Turkey is a mosaic of ancient sites, charming countryside and modern towns; a country of contrasts with a multitude of smells and sounds – from the honey-sweet scent from the bakery to the aniseed of raki (the national drink), from the morning wake-up call of the Mosques to the clatter of the bazaar traders on the one hand to the peace and quiet of Troy, Pergamon and Ephesus, to name but a few of the most well-known, on the other. Pammukale, a “white paradise” of unique snow-white travertine terraces with its therapeutic thermal waters, was named among the world heritage by UNESCO; Didyma, where the remains of the oracle of Apollo stand, and where the kings would tell the future through the steam. Culture and beach fun can easily be combined in Turkey the greatest “open air museum in the world”. Fine sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, dreamy bays with pine groves and oleander, and 3000 hours of sunshine a year allow 4.5 million holidaymakers annually to realize their dream of a super holiday experience. Numerous mud and thermal baths are good for body and soul. Last but not least, there is extensive Turkish cuisine with its hors d’oeuvres (Meze), meat dishes (kebab) and sweet desserts (baklava etc). Black tea is popular and Turkish mocca coffee.
