Holidays to Turkler get you a low-key number on the Turkish Riviera – with some revved up nightlife just along the coast at Alanya.
Publicity-shy resort
Flashbulbs and Turkler don’t really go together. This quiet resort on Turkey’s southwest coast likes to keep a low profile – which is handy if you’re looking for a laid-back vibe. And though it obviously doesn’t shout about it, this place has nabbed a top spot on the Turkish Riviera – so the beach deserves some applause. Plus, when you want something livelier, buzzy Alanya is just 20 kilometres away.
Beach life
You’ve got a 15-kilometre stretch of white sand and pebbles here – and as it’s a quiet kind of place, you should have plenty of room to spread out. The hotels do a sterling job of supplying both the watersports and the bars, to keep the drinks and snacks coming. And whenever you fancy a change of scene, there’s a 10-kilometre sandy beach at Konakli, about 10 minutes away.
R&R, Turkish style
Turkey is big on baths – or hammams – and the bigger of the resort’s hotels have their own. They’re top spots for getting a steam, scrub and rubdown – with a nice little massage thrown in. And they’re not the only healthy option round these parts. A visit to the caves near Alanya’s beach could do wonders for your asthma, apparently.
