BODRUM
Once a small fishing village, famed for the Tomb of King Mausolus, an Ancient Wonder of the World, Bodrum has since transformed into one of the Turkish Riviera’s most glamorous destinations. Filled with luxury hotels, world-class restaurants, super yachts and a steady stream of celebrities. Start your day strolling through ancient ruins, then spend your afternoon sipping cocktails at a beach club. Only a beat from Greece, Bodrum is also an easy addition to your Greek odyssey.
FETHIYE
Fethiye is the gateway for most sailing adventures, with a dramatic coastline that stretches from secluded beaches to mountainous peaks. Spend your days cruising turquoise waters and soaking up the sun at iconic spots like the Blue Lagoon and Butterfly Valley.
Prefer to stay on land? Lace up your boots and explore the trail from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz, a scenic stretch of the Lycian Way that winds past ancient ruins and offers sweeping views of the coastline.
And for the adventure traveller, Ölüdeniz is also one of the best places in the world for paragliding, thanks to the soaring Babadağ Mountain, standing at an impressive 6,500 feet.
KAS
Get ready to fall in love. Nestled along the eastern portion of the coastline, Kaş is a postcard-perfect town with cobblestone streets, pink bougainvillaea, and a charming old town. For a slow, relaxed holiday, we recommend a week in the region, where you can spend your days soaking up the sun at the local beaches, including Büyük Çakıl, Küçük Çakıl and the infamous Kaputaş Beach.
CAPPADOCIA
No trip to Türkiye is complete without a journey to the magical landscapes of Cappadocia, and trust us, it’s well worth the detour. Each morning, hundreds of colourful hot air balloons sail over the lunar landscape, taking in the towering fairy chimneys and unique rock formations. Rise with the sun each morning to capture this scene, before exploring the many valleys, walks and historic sites.
