Location Guide ~ Turkey
The
Aegean Coast has been considered beautiful since the time
of Homer. Its waters; changing colours - from Indigo during the day,
to pink during dusk, from
turquoise and ultramarine, to occasional green - have captured
the imagination for
thousands of years, and do so still.The scenery is breath-taking,
from the puremountains
in the distance to the clear waters of the shore. All the beaches
are large and clean, and
are bordered by olive and pine groves.In the Aegean,five thousand
years of history looks
down at you, inspires you, and conspires to fascinate with
mythology and culture.
Accommodation is plentiful, of good quality, and of a range
to suit veryone. Restaurants and bistros abound, truly something
for all.
- Kusadasi • Altinkum • Akbuk • Bodrum Peninsula in Turkey
Kusadasi one
of Turkey's principal family holiday resorts, is situated
on the west coast of Turkey 90km south of Izmir. It is close
to the historical Ephesus, Didyma, Priene and Mileto. Kusadasi
has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and
mild winters which provides a long tourist season. There
is a wide variety of restaurants, bars and discos.
Altinkum is situated on the
southern Aegean coast. Simpler than Kusadasi, Marmaris and
Bodrum, it is the ideal resort to relax in. This area is
well known for its ancient ruins, the most important being
Ephesus.The temple of Apollo at Didyma, Miletus and Priene
are just a few kilometres away. Altinkum has three beaches
with golden sands, ideal for families and children, and daily
boat trips to visit beautiful local bays. Just 10 minutes
down the road is the small harbour village of Akbuk an
idyllic quiet resort with pretty beach-front restaurants,
surrounded by olive trees. Still very Turkish in atmosphere
and unspoilt by heavy development it is rumoured to be the
next big thing.
Bodrum with its traditional
cobbled streets, bustley atmosphere, is very popular with
the Turkish and tourists alike.The Marina with its Yacht
Club is considered very chic. It has plenty of western amenities,
yet the region still retains its Turkish style. There are
great public transport links, dolmus buses and water taxis
to every town, giving people a chance to take in the fantastic
scenery. The modern town of Bodrum today has fragments of
its ancient ruins littered all around and often incorporated
into the fabric of the buildings, which you can spot for
yourself. Bodrum is a mere stones throw from everything and
would suit every kind of holidaymaker.
Gumbet Twenty years ago, Gumbet was the closest beach
to Bodrum and only a large campsite. Now with its many street
markets and shops and its great lively nightlife, it's a
resort in its own right.
Torba,
is considered a jet set destination full of the high society
of Istanbul. Traditionally a fishing village, the whole region
is covered in rich foliage with the traditional white houses
dotted in between the pretty rolling hills.
Bitez once covered in mandarin
orchards is now famous for its clean seawater and beach;
this is a great location for water sports. Colourful windsurfing
sails flit across the water in the warm afternoon breeze.Not
far is the village of Ortakent with
its long stretch of sandy beach, which slowly descends
into deeper water. Its location is very much central on
the peninsula, and famous for its 17th century 'Tower houses'.
Turgutreis Facing the island
of Kos this pretty location has plenty to offer and is
a popular area for tourists with its fantastic beach. It
is important to keep in mind that most of this area is
a military zone and property can only be purchased by setting
up a company.
Gumusluk Gumus means silver
in Turkish,which suggests that this area would have once
been covered in silver mines. Gold and silver is still
very cheap in Turkey and you can buy yourselves fantastic
bargains within the many street boutiques. You can even
walk on water in this unique destination; the old village
has now become an island where you can walk across the
stones which are at sea level creating an altogether religious
experience! This is probably one of the oldest parts of
the Peninsula, quiet and quaint with lovely beaches.
- Yalikavak the St.Tropez of the peninsula! Yalikavak used to be just a cluster of houses on the quay.Now a brand new multi million-dollar marina has recently been constructed. As with most coastal regions this was originally a fishing village but has since developed into the most popular area for property purchase, mainly because of its chic atmosphere and high quality local shops/ restaurants and beaches.The volcanic characteristics of the landscape are obvious and quite beautiful. If you head west you will then reach the evermore-popular town of Gundogan. This region has definite signs of antiquity with ruins hidden around the inland cliffs. Large hotels have now appeared and plenty of new housing.
