I strongly recommend holidays in Turkey. It is a wonderful country full of diversity. No matter what your interests. If it is culture you seek, then Turkey history is dripping with antiquity such as the world famous Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. If it is sunshine you are longing, then the weather conditions in Turkey is brilliant with coasts extended across the Aegean and Mediterranean and if it is nightlife and a bustling lifestyle, then Istanbul or Bodrum can offer a wealth of nightclubs and restaurants to name just a couple of places. The holidays in Turkey have never dissatisfied us.

Bodrum is an easy place to stay. You have many restaurants to choose from ranging from small coffee shops where you can have pizza, to expensive restaurants where you can taste true Turkish food which is fabulous. In Bodrum itself there are many restaurants that look over the busy harbour where you can sit and watch the world go by. The evening view is spectacular with the sun setting and the fortress lit up on the hill.

We stayed just outside of Bodrum in Ortakent which is much quieter although you still have the luxury of well stocked shops KIPA (owned by Tesco) and Burger King in case the need takes you!. The smaller places outside of Bodrum offer a quieter experience where you can sit by the water eating freshly caught fish whilst watching the fishermen and the little boats sail across the harbours. Other such villages like Bitez are based by the sea so many of the restaurants are actually on the beach.

We decided to drive up to Ephesus when staying in Bodrum. Ephesus houses the largest collection of Roman wrecks in the eastern Mediterranean with only about 15% of it having been excavated. The ruins that are visible give some idea of the city's original splendour, the thought that people had walked the streets in 60AD is incredible and to walk along streets from the past and admire the architecture is a trip that I would strongly suggest.

Patara is a different experience set further south on the Mediterranean. You will see one of the best beaches you can imagine. Patara beach is 75km south of Fethiye and is about 20km long. When we went it was not crowded, had white sand and because it is 20km in length meant you could walk along the beach until you found a spot that you were happy with. The sea was warm and clear and we spent a few days there which is unusual for me, as I am not actually a beach lover. Also Patara beach I think has the claim of the birthplace of Santa Claus. Work that one out if you can. Just back from the beach is an Amphitheatre. We visited this on a Sunday morning and had the whole site to ourselves. Fantastic to be able to walk around an Amphitheatre and not have to share it with anyone. You can actually start to picture what it must have been like back in the Roman periods.

Along the coast from Patara is Kalkan which we used to visit regularly for an evening meal. Kalkan is set up more for the tourist so you will find many shops, houses some very good roof top restaurants where you can eat and look out to sea and a busy nightlife.

I love Turkey. I recommend holidays in Turkey to everyone as it has so much to offer
