WHY TURKEY
Turkey is friendly, beautiful,
culturally rich and good
value for money. Also it is
modern enough to be
comfortable yet traditional
enough to be interesting.
Turkey is one of the world's
top 10 travel destinations,
welcoming more than 35
million visitors every year.
8 REASONS TO VISIT TURKEY

• Accommodation: Turkey has the most amazing luxury and boutique hotels

in the world. On the other side, you may find the most beautiful hotels at
very affordable rates due to intense competition among travel agencies.

Historical Places: Turkey's history of human habitation goes back 25.000

years. The Hittits, Hellens, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and the Ottomans
as well as a great number of other civilisations rose and fell here through
thousands of years, leaving behind a multitude of historical sites.
• Special Activities: With
nearly 8400 km of
coastline, water sports and
yachting are big favorites.
Hiking, rock climbing, hot
air ballooning,
mountaineering, white
water rafting, and
bicycling are all
important, and growing,
as is skiing.
• Turkish Cuisine: Turkish
food is now world famous,
and rightly so. Everyone
comments on how good
the Turkish food is. Not
only that, the moderately
priced gourmet dinner and
wine is still easy to do.
Then there are Turkish Tea
and Turkish Coffee.
• Entertainment: Sit at a
long table in a taverna in
Istanbul, Kusadasi,
Bodrum, Antalya,
Marmaris or any other
cities order a glass of beer,
wine or pungent 
Turkish Raki and join in
the songs and stories.
Turkish people revel in
good food, good friends,
good times, and good
nightlife.
• Business Opportunities: Turkey is one of the largest economies in the world yet
it is still considered a developing nation. This provides enormous business and
investing opportunities, especially in the real estate sector.

Shopping: Authentic gifts, carpets, rugs, kilims are among the tourist favorites
and shopping is breeze if you know where to go. There are more artistic
features and special creativity in Turkish carpets than any other carpet in the
world.
• Sea, Sand and Sun: The unique
Mediterranean climate and
beautiful nature of Turkey
allows almost 6 months of
summertime in southern parts.
The sandy beaches are splendid
and the sea, especially the
Aegean coastline, is the most
amazing. It is a mildly cold sea
that allows for a refreshing
experience. Blue voyage is the
most favourite way to visit all
the beaches with a yacht while
enjoying the turquoise sea.
Çeşme 

• Çeşme is a small town close to the Greek Islands and around 90km from Izmir, Tchechmè.

•It's easy to get there from Izmir on the bus, which costs around 15 Turkish Lira from Izmir
bus station; or also from the airport with the havatas bus company for around 20TL.
• I remember the first time I was in Çeşme as if it were yesterday. It was love at first sight and I
knew I would have to come back.
• Since seaside towns really catch my eye, I fell in love straight away with the beaches - this
town knew how to draw me in. It was as if I were on the beaches in the Maldives, despite
definitely having arrived in Turkey.
•lllca plaj: I remember getting to this beach by dolmus (the local minibus),
from the town centre - for 3TL for those who want to know the price - Çeşme
is known for being associated with the Jetset high society, so it can be a fairly
expensive place to be, especially in peak season.

• Coming back to the subject of the beaches, with such clear water and white
sand, there is only one hotel (Sheraton) that's very close to the beaches; the
others are a little further, with supermarkets and markets where you can buy
everything you need (suncream, clothes, towels, drinks, ice creams etc) .
 Foods 
• I would recommend that
you eat a Kumru (a
regional sandwich with
Turkish meat and cheese)
or a Kumpir (a baked
potato with butter and
gruyère cheese with
vegetables and celery,
amongst many other
toppings you can
add).thats it.
