Turkey Holidays - Getting more popular every year, Marmaris and Altinkum!‏

Once again in Turkey, this time thanks to Chris who sent this guest post telling us all about the beautiful beach town of Marmaris. Can't wait to go there and try it for myself. Looks absolutely amazing ;)

For years Turkey has been a prime destination for holidaymakers from all over the globe and with it's fine selection of districts, towns and resorts as well as heavy investment in the holiday industry, Turkey is climbing up towards being the number one holiday destination for everyone who enjoys a year round gorgeous climate, white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, (with a whole load of extras on the side as well!).


One of the most popular resorts in Turkey (if not the most popular) is the city of Marmaris, which is located on the southwestern Mediterranean coast. The city is mainly very popular due to the high number of bars and clubs in the area, where the hardcore partygoer can party all night throughout a number of different establishments. There is also some great beach bars, cafes and of course many fantastic restaurants offering a fine selection of traditional Turkish cuisine as well as international dishes, so you won't be at a loss of what to eat.


The beaches are of course very beautiful and popular, but make sure you get down there early especially in the summer time, as getting a prime spot on the sand can sometimes be a little tricky! Either way you will still be able to experience the full potential of both main beaches in Marmaris.


As for activities, there is plenty to see and do in Marmaris, including the Dalyan Mud baths, two substantial water parks and for the site seeing enthusiast, The King Tombs, which can only be viewed by boat are incredibly over 3000 years old!

Another great resort to choose for your holiday in Turkey is Altinkum! Just 123 kilometers from the town of Aydin the resort is getting more popular with each year that passes, however it is quite a bit more laid back that the city of Marmaris, meaning you can enjoy the resort in the summer months without having to deal with the substantial club scene and partygoers that favor Marmaris as their number one spot. Altinkum also boasts better beaches that Marmaris and with bigger and better beaches comes more space for you to keep to yourself and truly relax in!


Nightlife is still available in Altinkum, however it is far more chilled out than the more popular resorts, meaning you can enjoy a quiet walk around town at any time of the evening.
