Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, is the only city in the world that sits on two continents, and it offers an abundance of fascinating attractions, including the Bosphorus Strait, the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar.

From the Dardanelles to the fairytale castle and sunny beaches of Bodrum, the Aegean shores of Turkey are among the loveliest landscapes in Turkey. The highlights of an Aegean tour are the site of the legendary Trojan War, ancient Pergamon, once a great centre of culture and now one of Turkey's finest archeological sites, Ephesus, the capital of Roman Asia Minor which was dedicated to the goddess Artemis whose temple was one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and Pamukkale, a unique fairyland of dazzlingly white calcified castles.

Antalya province on the Mediterranean coast is Turkey's principal holiday region and a paradise for sunbathing, swimming and sports. Nearby, ancient theatres can be found in a remarkable state of preservation at Aspendos and Perge, and visitors can tour the sunken city of Simena in Kekova. Remains of ancient Lycian cities such as Xanthos, Myra and Apollonia are also within easy traveling distance.

Cappadocia in central Anatolia is one of the most fantastic landscapes in the world, and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Turkey.

Health Care in Turkey

In Turkey there is a wide range of quality healthcare facilities available and, although all foreigners have to pay for medical treatment, service fees are significantly lower than in Europe. There are also reciprocal private health plans available from the UK which will be accepted in private hospitals.

Weather in Turkey

Generally Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coastal area have very hot and dry summers, and wet but mild winters. As the tourist season recedes, the coastal towns tend to shut down between October and April. The winter in Cappadocia and Istanbul can be very cold with occasional light snow. During the peak tourist season between June and September mosquitoes can be a problem. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, as the climate is still hot, but not unbearable.
