Turkey boasts a perfect Mediterranean climate with low humidity. Summer runs from May to October and temperatures can soar to over 30 degrees in July and August. Winters are generally mild with some sun and occasional showers. This lovely Mediterranean climate makes Turkey a fantastic choice for a holiday at any time of year.
Beach lovers will be in their element with miles and miles of breathtaking sandy coastline and clear blue waters. Gumbet is a popular beach resort which has a sand and shingle beach which curves around the bay. Other popular resorts include Bodrum, Marmaris and Antalya.
The scenery on the Bodrum Peninsula is stunning and well worth a visit. But Turkey it not just famous for it's beaches. The nightlife there is also a good reason to visit. You will find the nightlife lively and varied with many bars, clubs and restaurants open late into the evening.
If excursions are more your thing you will be spoilt for choice. Turkey has a rich history and there are many sights to see and places to visit which will increase your knowledge about this beautiful country. St Peters Castle in Bodrum is well worth a visit as is the Tomb of Sariana in Maramaris.

We think that cheap beach holidays to Turkey will appeal to a wide range of holidaymakers but especially couples and groups of friends. Lively areas like Marmaris and Bodrum are always popular with groups whereas we think couples would love the quieter resort of Gumbet with it's lovely beach and laid back atmosphere. The mix of relaxation and cultural experiences sets Turkey apart from other beach holiday destinations.
