Turkey: Destination Overview
Turkey is a wonderful country between Europe and Asia. Its people are friendly and known for being very nice to visitors. More than 84 million people live in Turkey and come from different backgrounds. Some families have lived there for generations, while some people moved there from other countries.
Turkey's culture is very colourful, and many different festivals happen all year round. Its buildings, food, music, and traditions show this. Turkish music is also lively and fun to listen to, and there are traditional dances that people love to perform during those festivals.
- The Capital: Ankara is Turkey's capital. It's not as big or famous as Istanbul, but it's an important place.
- Currency: In Turkey, people use the Turkish Lira. Having some cash with you is a good idea, but you can use credit cards everywhere. However, travellers should check the exchange rate to determine how much things cost in their currency.
- Language: Turkish is the main language. Don't worry if you don't speak Turkish, though, because many people also know English, especially in tourist areas. Learning a few Turkish words can be helpful, but you'll still be able to get by with English.
- Flight Duration: The flight from Gatwick Airport to Turkey takes about 4 hours. That's not too long, and you can easily watch one or two episodes of your favourite show during this time!

What You Can Do On Your Turkey Holidays
Turkey is a country with beautiful beaches, good food, and attractions. Let's look at what you can do during your Turkey holidays 2024.
Exploring Turkey's Beautiful Beaches
Turkey is famous for its stunning beaches, where you can relax, swim, and enjoy the sunshine. One of the most popular beaches is Olu Deniz Beach. It is known for its breathtaking Blue Lagoon. It has clear, shallow water, perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
If you prefer beaches with many facilities, Kleopatra Beach is a great choice. It is located near Alanya city centre and has white shores and many water activities. And don't forget about Konyaalti Beach, where you can relax against majestic and huge mountains and cliffs.
For those who crave peace, Butterfly Valley Beach and Kabak Beach are hidden gems and they are also one of our favourites.
Savouring Turkish Cuisine
Don't forget to try some traditional Turkish food!
Start your day with Menemen, which is a tasty breakfast dish with eggs, tomatoes, and peppers. Moreover, don't miss out on Dolma, a popular street food consisting of stuffed vegetables or vine leaves. And for lunch or dinner, treat yourself to Pide, which is a Turkish-style pizza loaded with a lot of toppings.
Travellers can also try Piyaz salad (a refreshing mix of beans, vegetables, and tahini dressing) to add a healthy touch to their meal. And, of course, save room for dessert! Baklava, with its layers of pastry and nuts soaked in syrup, is a sweet delight.
Discovering Turkey's Top Attractions
Travellers can also visit cities like Ephesus and Perge to learn about the civilizations. Or, take pictures of the stunning architecture of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
Moreover, Pamukkale's terraced hot springs and Cappadocia's beautiful landscapes are must-see destinations for nature lovers. However, if you want to talk with locals, explore the markets and streets.
