Where to stay in Turkey?

For a glimpse of Asia from the safety of Europe, go to Turkey where you can enjoy the comforts of the West with the mysticism of the East. Only one other country, Russia, can boast of being in two continents. Just three percent of Turkey is in Europe, including Istanbul which, despite not being the capital, is still the centre for economy and culture.

Some of the most luxurious hotels in Turkey are located in Istanbul which is often the starting point for visitors when they arrive. You do not have to flock to the beach hotels in Turkey for the whole holiday, but perhaps take time to go inland and stay in the hotels Turkey has there.

Some of the many highlights of Turkey

The volcanic area of Cappadocia is a good place to start with its soft rock formations, eroded and shaped over time into fairy chimneys, table mountains and deep valleys. Churches cut out of the rocks house centuries-old frescoes, some still in amazing condition.

For more intricate carvings, visit the temple at Nemrut Dagi, on top of a mountain and adorned with mighty stone heads carved during the reign of Antiochus I (64-38 BC). The North Aegean coast is less populated than the south yet retains a charm of fishing villages and scenic countryside that is sure to delight.
