Ephesus and Pamukkale -Dalaman
Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the 'Book of Revelation'. The 'Gospel of John' may have been written here. It is also the site of a large gladiators' graveyard.
This is one of the best preserved Roman cities in the Mediterranean, renowned for the Celsus Library and the famed Temple of Artemis, one of 'The Seven Wonders of The World'.
Saklikent means "hidden valley" in Turkish and this gorge is the third longest gorge in Europe at 18 kmlong. It was formed after an earthquake and is so steep and narrow in some places that the sun doesnot penetrate the water, which is absolutely freezing as a result, even in these high temperatures.
Visit the large coastal resort of Marmaris, a lively, cosmopolitan town with a beautiful harbour full of International Yachts and a bustling covered bazaar where you can haggle with the local traders for gifts or spices. Take a stroll along the promenade, then visit the smaller neighbouring village of Içmeler, a quieter neighbour of Marmaris.
Alanya is a long, sprawling, modern, resort bordered all along the front by two magnificent beaches streching as far as the eye can see and dominated in the centre by a huge rock promontory jutting into the Med which offers the visitor the most breathtaking views over Alanya and the panoramic backdrop of the Taurus mountains. Alanya offers the holidaymaker everything they could want in the way of watersports, restaurants, nightlife, and shopping and is often referred to as Turkey’s answer to Miami.
Kemer is a lovely town lying at the foot of Taurus Mountains on the turquoise coast. It is 43 kms west of Antalya. It is an incomparable holiday resort with its clear blue waters bordered by orange groves, beaches, fresh smelling pine forests and the historical ruins. Kemer enjoys an average of 300 sunny days while the pine forests act like a shelter giving it a cooler atmosphere. The water temperature in winter is 10-12 C and in summer 27-29 C; thus it is possible to enjoy the sea 8 months of the year.
The Antalya Region, offering all the mysticism of past in our day, is now called the "Turkish Riviera" due to its archaeological and natural beauties. Antalya is the place where sea, sun, history and nature constitute a perfect harmony and which also includes the most beautiful and clearest coast along the Mediterranean. The city still preserves its importance as a centre throughout history in the south coast of the country, in addition to its wonderful natural beauties. The mythological city which housed the Gods and Goddesses now exhibits all its secrets and marvels to mankind.

the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbour known as the
Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country.

sides of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world
that is situated on two continents.

located in the Yeşilköy district on the European side, about 24
kilometres (15 mi) west from the city center. When it was first built,

but now lies within the city bounds. The smaller one is the Sabiha Gökçen International Airport located in the Kurtköy district on the Asian side, close to the Istanbul Park GP Racing Circuit.
Istanbul is becoming increasingly colourful in terms of its rich
social, cultural, and commercial activities. While world famous pop
stars fill stadiums, activities like opera, ballet and theater continue
throughout the year. During seasonal festivals, world famous
orchestras, chorale ensembles, concerts and jazz legends can be found
often playing to a full house. The Istanbul International Film Festival

Istanbul Biennial is another major event of fine arts.
