Summer on the Turkish coast is still ongoing

(Patria) - As we count down the last sunny days of this autumn, tourists on the Turkish Mediterranean and Aegean coasts are still enjoying swimming in the sea at pleasant temperatures.

The Turkish Riviera, with 300 sunny days a year and a mild climate that keeps the sea warm, is an ideal autumn destination for a more peaceful vacation.

The 7,200-kilometer-long coast offers a mix of culture, history, and beaches, luxury hotels, and diverse flora and fauna, with bays and coves, sandy and rocky beaches, and caves with archaeological treasures stretching from the Mediterranean to the Aegean.

A string of Turkish beaches inspires everyone who loves to enjoy the sun...

Paradise Bays

The Çeşme Peninsula in Izmir is one of the most popular tourist destinations. Alaçatı, connected to Çeşme, is known as one of the best sailing spots in the world.

Due to the perfect wind, sandy soil, and shallow waters, this place is a global center for windsurfing.

Alaçatı is a picturesque town adorned with stone and flowers, restaurants and entertainment venues, and cuisine with centuries-old recipes and local wines.

On the other hand, Bodrum is known as one of the most elegant cities on the Turkish coast, with a range of luxury hotels, marinas, and shopping venues.

This Turkish city is home to one of the seven wonders of the ancient world – the ruins of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.

Bodrum, as a gastronomic city, offers the best recipes of local and international cuisine, so some of the most famous restaurants in the ports and marinas will be included in the Michelin guide.

On the "blue journey" from the Aegean to the Mediterranean, important points are also the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas. Among the paradise bays of this area are the regional pearl Dalyan, as well as Göcek, Fethiye, and Ölüdeniz.

Blue Paradise

Antalya, in the heart of the Turkish Riviera, is also surrounded by ancient capitals, the sea, beaches, and forests.

In Antalya, the summer season starts in April and lasts until the end of November, so this Turkish city is still enjoying a pleasant summer with its 231 Blue Flag beaches.

Among them is Kaputaş in the Kaş region, surrounded by turquoise bays, and it holds the title of one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The entire Turkish Riviera is dotted with remnants of prehistoric cities and civilizations, from Perge to Simena, from Xanthos-Letoon to Patara, and from Aspendos to Side.

Ancient cities carry the richness of three civilizations – Lycian, Pamphylian, and Pisidian, and a multitude of artifacts that await their visitors this autumn.
