Background

The food in Turkey is a perfect example of an East and West fusion. Holidaymakers can enjoy traditional Meze dishes, where up to 15 small dishes will be presented during the meal. A western dish, the bold use of spices and flavourings that are used are clearly a nod towards the East. The history of Turkey is truly fascinating, and visitors to the country should not miss the opportunity of a trip to Ephesus, which is the best preserved Roman city in the whole of the Mediterranean. Likewise the Crusader city of Bodrum is awe inspiring and draw-droppingly beautiful. These incredible ancient sites are by no means just for history buffs but instead an unforgettable treat for the whole family.

There is ancient Greek, Persian, Roman and Byzantine influences throughout Turkey, which are displayed clearly by the architecture - the mosques, temples, amphitheatres and traditional villages. Visiting Turkey is a voyage of discovery that is never forgotten. For those looking for some good old-fashioned sun and beach, Turkey also comes up trumps.
