Spanning two continents, Turkey is a vibrant, modern country not only rich in natural beauty but also in historical and archaeological treasures dating back to the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

With some 8,000km of coastline, the Aegean shores are among the most beautiful landscapes in Turkey and this magnificent coastline is perhaps best known for its turquoise sea and the enviable "blue cruise" route and the many pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and pine woods.

In this region two of the Seven Wonders of the World can be found: the Temple of Artemis in the ancient city of Ephesus and King Mausolus' Tomb in Bodrum.  The stunning white calcium steps and thermal springs of Pamukkale (cotton castle) are a popular tourist attraction.

The Aegean town and yachting port of Bodrum is one of Turkey's longest established resorts built around the harbour with narrow streets and a wide variety of shops, restaurants and bars.  Only two miles from Bodrum, Gümbet has one of the longest beaches on the peninsula and is especially famous for its water sports centres.

Once a small fishing village, the harbour town of Kusadasi is situated amid splendid coastal scenery and several significant archaeological sites.  There are several sandy beaches with crystal-clear water which are ideal for swimming and water sports.
