Resorts of turkey. Turkey map with resorts Turkish villages on the map

Turkey, whose map shows an abundance of beach resorts on the coasts of several seas, is a popular tourist destination among Russians.

There are several reasons for this:

1. Huge selection of vouchers of different prices.
2. Length of the holiday season.
3. Beautiful colorful nature.
4. The famous "all inclusive".
5. Exotic Turkish cuisine.
6. Excursions to historical sites and to numerous monuments of ancient architecture.
7. The ability to communicate in your native language in hotels, shops, during excursions.

Thanks to its many comfortable conditions and affordable prices, Turkey is the most suitable country for those who first decided to go on holiday abroad.

The map of Turkey with resorts demonstrates the variety of choice of places for a beach holiday with children or on your own. The country is washed on 3 sides by the seas: Black from the north, Aegean from the southwest, Mediterranean from the south and the inland Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara, which provides a transition from the Mediterranean to the Black.

Resort areas on the coasts of the seas differ from each other in climatic conditions, air and water temperatures, duration of the holiday season, quality of beaches, uniqueness of nature, excursion opportunities, popularity among tourists and prices for vacations.

Most of the famous resorts are found in subtropical climates on the coasts of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. The holiday season here lasts from mid-May to October. However, brave people open the beach season in April and close in November.

Average indicators of water and air temperature in degrees Celsius:

The Turkish Black Sea resorts are colder, located in a zone of moderately warm subtropical climate, the average water temperature during the season is only + 23 or + 24 o C. This is very similar to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. The holiday season is shorter and lasts from mid-May to mid-October.

The average water temperature in the inland Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara is + 25 or + 26 o C, but at the height of the season it can warm up to + 29 o C.

In all resorts of Turkey, vacationers are welcomed by warm hospitality, Russian tourists are always welcome here. However, everyone who comes here should understand what he wants to get during his vacation. Those who like extreme heat do not need to go to the Black Sea coast. Those who cannot stand it for health reasons will go here.

Lovers of a quiet and relaxing holiday with their family should go to the Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara, but lovers of an active nightlife will be bored here. At the height of the season, there is a large influx of tourists in all resorts, the rest will cost more. It is cheaper to relax on the Black and Marmara seas than in the Aegean. Most of the costs will be spent on vacations on the Mediterranean coast.
