Tourexpi
These enchanting coastal strips are a hospitable
destination offering comfortable, family-friendly hotels with a range of
facilities, beaches suitable for water sports, diverse culinary delights, and
convenient proximity to the legendary ancient cities of the Aegean and
Mediterranean.
Antalya, the heart of the Turkish Riviera, is among
the most popular destinations in Türkiye for family vacations, providing an
abundance of comfortable and luxurious lodging options with a vast range of
amenities. While you relax on one of the area's Blue Flag beaches, your
children can enjoy a variety of pool and aquapark activities, and you can enjoy
dining on the delicious flavours of Mediterranean cuisine as a family. In
addition, you can create invaluable memories with your children while in
Antalya, including, for example, visiting one of the city's unique theme parks.
In addition to sun, sea and sand, Antalya is
defined by its fascinating history. Home to some of the world's most
influential civilizations, the province and city offer a plethora of exciting
monuments. Kaleiçi, the "old town" of Antalya, features
artefacts from various periods, from the Roman to the Ottoman empires.
Other family-friendly activities in Antalya include
water sports such as scuba diving. Kaş is considered one of the
world's top ten diving destinations. Belek is an excellent golfing destination
with world-class courses. Antalya's canyons, national parks and caves are all
one-of-a-kind natural wonders.
The Stunning Routes from the Aegean to the
Mediterranean
Muğla, connecting the Aegean and Mediterranean seas
with its virgin bays, is also a popular destination, thanks to its natural
beauty, rich history and family-friendly amenities, and the area's resorts –
from Bodrum to Fethiye – provide excellent holiday experiences. While
known for its Blue Flag beaches, Bodrum is also a popular destination for
history buffs, featuring a medieval castle (Bodrum Castle) now housing
the Bodrum Underwater Museum. Well situated for water sports, Bodrum is
also a starting point for the famous blue cruises which provide the optimum
family holiday experience. In addition, Bodrum hosts several Michelin-starred
restaurants offering the finest Turkish and international cuisine.
Fethiye is home to Ölüdeniz, an internationally
renowned beach, Butterfly Valley, a habitat for more than 80 butterfly
species, and the gorgeous Kabak Bay. Other family-friendly activities
include visiting Saklıkent Canyon. Köyceğiz, located on the
route between Marmaris and Fethiye, is a Cittaslow town where you can see
Caretta caretta sea turtles and Babadağ, one of the most essential
paragliding centres in Türkiye and the world.
