Turkey

<p>Known as the country where East meets West, Turkish cuisine is a melting pot of different cultures and traditions. The best part is that it speaks to everyone, whether you’re looking for a hearty dish made of meat or a fresh vegetarian option.</p><p></p><ul><li>Turkey’s food culture revolves around sharing, and this is best experienced with a mezze platter. Usually consisting of lighter food such as feta cheese, olives, sour yoghurt and a variety of dips, some also include meat and fish that serve as starters. Another selection of rice dishes made of pilau can be served either plain, with chicken or with beans as a side dish.</li><li>A hearty meal usually includes meat-based food in a great variety, except for pork. You could try the Turkish roasted lamb tandoori or kebab cooked in a sealed clay pot for a filling dinner, or try stew with meat and aubergine. For a more vegetarian dinner, make sure to give dolma a try; these are baked peppers or courgettes stuffed with bulgur wheat and tomatoes, a fresh and filling alternative to their meat-filled counterparts.</li><li>If you’re looking for a more social outing, visit a local meyhane where you’ll be served the traditional Turkish drink rakı along with a selection of mezze and fish dishes. Usually live music and livelier conversation accompany such dinners, and are an amazing way to glimpse into the local communities.</li><li>Turkish people are fond of their sweets, which means there are plenty of options to choose from. Lokum or Turkish delight might be the most well-known dessert, but if you prefer something more local, try kabak tatlısı made of fresh pumpkin and spices. Another refreshing dessert is sütlaç, a rice pudding made with milk and sugar.</li><li>For a more traditional experience, try aşure – also known as Noah’s Pudding, this dessert usually signifies spring and harvest times with its abundance of boiled whole grains and fresh seasonal fruit and is usually made on special dates such as religious holidays or a baby’s first tooth.</li></ul>

Food & Drinks

<p>Turkey is a haven of crystal waters, clear skies and sandy beaches, but some of them stand out amongst the rest as holiday favourites. Each beach comes with its own unique colours and experiences, where you can go from swimming next to seaside cliffs to lounging on tranquil sand.</p><ul><li>Alaçatı is a beautiful Turkish beach found in a town full of old stone houses and chic restaurants. A relatively sheltered bay, Alaçatı offers good and steady winds that make the waters perfect for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The town is also full of surf clubs where you can get kitted out or visit the friendly surf schools for lessons to help you safely enjoy the waters.</li><li>The best place to bring your kids when on a Turkey family holiday is Lara Beach. Close to the Antalya airport and city centre, you’ll have plenty of transport links and exploring to do, when you’re not enjoying the nine-mile-long beach. The resorts also offer many family-friendly activities and kids’ club entertainment, allowing you to enjoy the calm as your kids build sand castles or take a banana boat ride on the shallow waters.</li><li>For those who prefer something a bit livelier, the beaches of Çeşme are much sought after by locals and visitors alike. Ayayorgi Bay is an especially popular spot with its abundance of beach clubs that fill the calm turquoise cove, where live music and DJs keep the crowd dancing late into the night.</li></ul>

Beaches

<p>Turkey is a land full of ancient mysteries and modernity, a true adventure that allows you to experience both oriental and European elements. Whatever you are looking for, you’ll find something that speaks to you on a Turkey holiday.</p><ul><li>Lose yourself in the many bazaars that Turkey offers, filled with unique spices and handcrafted traditional arts, all lined up in bustling alleys. Why not watch an artisan craft stunning glass vases, or witness the process of a handwoven kilim coming into being? You’ll have plenty of souvenirs to bring back home to remember your visit.</li><li>When you’re not relaxing by the beach, you could visit one of the many hammams where all your worries will be washed away. As a traditional bathhouse, the natural soaps and cold tiled floors in the hammam will be an unforgettable experience.</li></ul>
