Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday or an action packed trip filled with excitement and thrills, a holiday to Turkey will satisfy everyone’s tastes and preferences. With beautiful white sandy beaches bordering crystal clear Mediterranean waters, Turkey’s coastline is one of the most breath-taking in the entire Mediterranean. A country filled with natural wonders and rich culture, Turkey offers visitors a magnitude of experiences just waiting to be discovered.
Turkey’s Mediterranean climate makes it the perfect destination for a summer beach, activity and watersports holiday. Late spring and early autumn are a wonderful time of year to visit, soak up warm, dry days and pleasant evenings and with the added advantage of the resorts being a little quieter too. July and August brings long hours of sunshine, it is hotter and more humid so you’ll appreciate the beautiful sea breezes coming off the Mediterranean and love the balmy evenings.
North of Izmir, Foça is formed of two villages, Eski Foça (Old Foça) and Yeni Foça (new Foça). Eski Foça is the larger of the two and is found next to two small bays and a lovely small harbour. Step back in time, soak up the authentic vibe of this small fishing town with some great harbour-side restaurants, which is only a 10 minute ride away from Phokaia Beach Resort. Browse around the local shops, selling textiles and an abundance of Turkish delicacies, the perfect opportunity to practice your bartering skills. If you fancy seeing Foça from the water, take a boat trip from the harbour and enjoy the stunning coastline.
Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre is 83 miles away (1 hour 45 minutes by car) and should not be missed. In the ancient world Ephesus was the centre for travel and commerce, it was a major Roman port city, positioned on the estuary of the River Kaystros. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus ad the Great Theatre. Many know Ephesus for its famous Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, although little remains of the site today.
This wonderful beach escape is bursting with individual charm, vibrancy and mesmerising views, best enjoyed from the gorgeous jetty set within a dazzling bay. Positioned on the outskirts of the quiet village of Foça, this resort boasts an excellent choice of accommodation, tempting cuisine, stunning, mature gardens and beautiful daybeds dotted around the huge 50m swimming pool. If you can stir yourself from the spacious, inviting sunbathing area overlooking the lush, tropical gardens you’ll be invigorated by the impressive array of land-based activities and watersports, including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving. Then perhaps reward yourself with the relaxing Turkish bath and spa located at the hotel. Whatever you choose to do each day, you’ll find Phokaia Beach Resort a winning holiday destination.
