Things to see and do
Strong winds mean those wanting to add some energetic exercise to their Turkey beach holiday can try out all kinds of water sports including windsurfing, jet-skiing and sailing.

After a tiring day sight-seeing you can relax at a traditional Turkish ‘hammam’ bath house with an invigorating massage.
