West Turkey holidays:
It can easily be said that West Turkey, covering the coastline of the Aegean and Mediterranean coastal areas as well as a section of the Black Sea, is responsible for most of the development of the Western World. Standing at the crossroads of East and West, Turkey is a wonderful mixture of Oriental and European cultures, customs and traditions, culminating in a region of sights, sounds and flavors certain to disarm and enchant.

Consisting of numerous towns and villages, some still in existence, others only a memory, after centuries of strife and struggle at the hands of many conquerors from many lands, West Turkey is an interesting region, to be sure. Some of the cities that are part of this region are Istanbul, Troy, Assos, Pergamon, Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Pamukkale, Dalyan, Fethiye, Kas, Antalya, Konya and Cappadocia. Though some of the ancient cities in West Turkey are no longer active, having fallen hundreds of years ago, the ruins are still there. With each passing year, archeologists work tirelessly to discover more artifacts as they relate to other sites and cities from the annals of Turkish history.

With so many significant sites and locations to see, places such as the homes of Mary Magdalene or Alexander the Great, it will be difficult to know where to start and when to stop, so great is the experience of seeing history unfold before you as it will in West Turkey.

Due to the differences in landscape throughout the country, as you travel from one area to the next, you will watch in near astonishment as it changes and unfolds before you. Contrasting to the arid, dry regions in the interior of Turkey, Western Turkey enjoys more rain, therefore more vegetation; in the mountainous region, snow is not unheard of.

Rife with history of the Western World, changing weather and landscape, delicious and traditional food, exposure to different cultures all native to Turkey, the region gives many reasons for which to choose cheap holidays in West Turkey giving you memories that will last a lifetime.
