Two Unique Turkey Holidays By Shereena Lingiah At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Turkey is a beautiful and diverse country, with a number of different holiday types available. Belek and Kalkan offer different Turkey holiday experiences, where both resorts are beautiful but have their own unique appeal.

Belek

If what you seek from your holiday in Turkey is a combination of beautiful scenery, luxury, style and relaxation, the resort of Belek is ideal for you. And if you’re a golfer, you’ll be particularly delighted, since golf hotels are the resort’s speciality.

Staying at Belek on your Turkey holiday will give you the opportunity to lounge on its beautiful blue flag beach, where the golden sand and crystal clear Mediterranean waters can’t be disputed. You can lounge on the beach with the sand trickling through your toes, as the warm sun shines down on you, completing your Turkey holiday experience. And after hours in the sunshine, you can return to one of the best hotels in Turkey, where comfort and luxury await you.

One of the other significant advantages to choosing to stay in Belek whilst on your holiday to Turkey is the beautiful and unique environment that you will find yourself in. Some interesting animal species can be found here - most notably the Caretta Caretta turtles. These incredible animals love the area for its find sandy beach where they lay their eggs; a perfect breeding area. Plant lovers will be delighted by this resort on their Turkey holiday, as it boasts an impressive 574 different plant species. Bird lovers too, will be in their element, where 100 species can be sighted.

With 11 championship golf courses in the area, golfers on holiday to Turkey should certainly choose this resort; and for their non-golfing friends or family members, a range of other sports are offered at the hotels, with facilities in the resort being of superb standards.

Kalkan

As a change to the stylish sophistication and luxury of Belek, Kalkan provides an equally beautiful but decidedly more local experience for a Turkey holiday. A quaint harbour town, Kalkan will provide quiet afternoons in cosy coffee shops, hours of shopping in boutiques, and eating ice-cream whilst walking the town’s cobbled streets. It provides a taste of Turkish life-style, rather than simply showing the country’s natural beauty to its visitors.

You can spend an afternoon or two on the harbour’s edge, enjoying delicious fresh seafood at a restaurant on the Marina as you watch the boats come in and out of the harbour. After a sumptuous seafood meal, you can walk off your lunch by wandering up the town’s steep hillside, where you can enjoy magnificent views over the ocean of the higher roads, getting in a bit of exercise on your relaxing Turkey holiday.

While not the stereotypical golden sandy beach, Kalkan does have a small beach of its own, which is pretty to look at and is a good spot for sitting and gazing at the ocean. But if you are craving a day spent lounging in the Turkish sun, you can take the short trip to Kaputas and Patara, where clear waters and hours of sunbathing await you. A great way to explore these areas whilst on holiday to Turkey is by boat, and a trip to the castle of Simena is also a must when in the area.
