Making ratings is a thankless job, because any person puts his own meaning in the concept of "the best resort". There are a great many such places in Turkey, and each city and beach has its fans.
When choosing where is the best place to relax in Turkey, pay attention to your own preferences and decide what is most important for you: high-quality and varied food or a sandy beach, low prices for hotels or a gentle entrance to the sea, proximity to attractions or technical equipment of the hotel and service "with a needle"?
Regions and destinations
Foreign tourists usually travel to two main regions for a beach holiday in Turkey:
- Antalya coast is the place where the southernmost Turkish resorts are concentrated. The swimming season here begins in mid-April, but the water reaches comfortable temperatures only by the May holidays. Vacationers stay on the beaches of the Antalya Riviera until the end of October. The main and best resorts are Belek, Kemer, Side and Alanya.
- The coast of the Aegean Sea is famous for pine groves reaching the water itself, rocky cliffs and fresh sea breezes, making it easy to endure even the intense heat. There are more elite resorts and places for a relaxing family vacation. The most popular and rated points of the Aegean Riviera are Fethiye, Bodrum and Marmaris.
The Black Sea coast of Turkey is also quite popular, but only among local residents. The season starts there at the end of May and lasts until October.
The best Turkish resort for toddlers
Turkey, as a family holiday destination, is ideal in everything, you just have to choose the right resort. Almost everything is subordinate to the comfort of children in such cities or hotels - from the menu in restaurants to the children's animation program in hotels. On the beaches in the high season, real cities grow from attractions, swings, trampolines and slides, and in water parks the infrastructure and equipment are thought out to the smallest detail and are convenient and comfortable for young tourists of any age.
The most popular resort for children is Antalya. All of the above is present here in full and in large quantities. The only drawback may seem to be too much popularity of the resort, because in the high season, entertainment complexes are not crowded.
There are fewer people in Alanya and Bodrum, where the beaches also have a gentle entrance to the water, the sea warms up faster and almost does not storm, and the ideal ecology allows you to enjoy the cleanest air and organic products.
It is useful to rest in Kemer for babies with respiratory problems. Pine groves release beneficial phytoncides, which, when combined with sea iodine fumes in the air, cure even lung diseases.
Whichever kiddie resort you choose, choose the season when the heat is not at its peak. The best time to travel to Turkey with children is May and early June and the second half of September.
