Holidays to Turkey are always a good idea. The food, the warm weather, the architecture - it's no wonder it's one of the most popular holiday destinations among us Brits. Plus, flights to Turkey take on average four hours from the UK, so you'll be sipping on some raki and basking under the Turkish sun before you finish your boxset.
With temperatures in the summer months ranging from 28-35 degrees, day in the sunshine is almost always guaranteed in Turkey, and some of the most popular Turkish destinations include the seaside resort of Antalya, with its incredible architecture, Marmaris, nestled among pine-covered hills and clear waters, plus the stunning city of Bodrum, home to ancient castles, popular beach resorts and a lively marina.

Top tripadvisor review: "It was definitely one of the best hotels we've been to over the years, and the best hotel we stayed at in Turkey. From beginning to the end, the experience was great. The room is absolutely stunning, lots of space, modern look and feel, great storage area for suitcases so they're out of the way. It is a very well looked-after hotel. All the grounds are immaculate and I loved the way the sun loungers were separated into small islands so it didn't feel like everyone was crammed in together. All in all, a 5* stay!"

Having read the reviews before we came, we knew we were in for something special but it exceeded our expectations and more. Everything from start to finish was just a dream.

Top Tripadvisor review: "This hotel was absolutely exceptional! From the amazing customer service, to the great variety of food they provided daily and the friendly staff who made our stay even better.
