Istanbul, a symbol of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, includes the original Christian Ayasofya and is now a fusion of art galleries and stylish bars sitting multifariously with minarets and ancient bazaars all on the cusp of Asia and Europe.

Labelled ‘Land of the Eternal Blue’ by Homer, Bodrum has had famous fans since the days of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. Warm turquoise waters are a heavenly swimming arena, with a seabed brimming with marine life and shipwrecks. Snooze on Blue Flag beaches, windsurf, sail, canoe and travel inland amongst bougainvillea to see one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

For a true beach escape, the creamy sands of Sarigerme lie close enough to explore Dalyan, home to 4x4 safaris, paragliding and sea kayaking. Indulge in mud baths and the healing powers of the Sulaniye Thermal Waters.
