DIARY OF TURKISH TRAVEL
Coast line of Turkey (or Turkish Riviera) has the length approximately one thousand kilometers. I can talk about unique Turkish nature and beauty of resorts endlessly. Each corner of Turkey is a sole theme, each trip unique and differs from previous one.
I conditionally divided all coastline into seven resort areas — by the names of the greatest coast cities: Bodrum, Belek, Kemer, Antalya, Alanya, Fethiye, Marmaris. The nature and the climate are diverse — it can affect the quality of rest and the mood.
For example BODRUM is the closest to Europe, and oriented more to europeans and the well-off turks. Apart from historical sites and comfortable beaches, there is active night life in Bodrum. Here is the greatest number of night clubs, bars and disco. Also the greatest part of fests and carnivals occur there.
BELEK is the youngest and the most expensive Turkish resort, here is the greatest number of sand beaches.
KEMER & ANTALYA are the most popular and visited resorts. The nature is very picturesque — mountains, fur trees and palms. This is «the area of oranges» — almost everywhere you can buy oranges or fresh orange juice. Ancient greeks called Anatalya «the paradise on the Earth» and I would agree with them.
ANTALYA is considered to be one of the most comfortable resorts in the world, and at the same time, the charm of Medieval Age is preserved there. Along with retention of old relics and monuments, this resort is constantly growing.
