Flag of Turkey 🇹🇷

If your are like many of Turkeys visitors you will just come for the guaranteed sunshine and stay put in your oppulent massive resort (other styles available). But for the backpacker too there represents a destination where your money will go a long way.  

For the historian there are ancient buildings and sites. For the partygoer there are many options. Shopping is fantastic with the excitement of the bazzars in the capital Istanbul. Whilst we are here we can have a traditional soap turkish bath, never forgotten.
