The shores of the Aegean present one of the loveliest landscapes in Turkey.

The coastline is magnificent, lapped by crystal waters, abounding in vast beautiful beaches, olive groves, rocky and wooded shores, all under a perfect blue sky. The Aegean Coast is richly adorned with idyllic fishing villages, popular holiday villages and the remains of many ancient cities, the inheritance of more than 5,000 years of history, culture and mythology. Along the length of the coast all kinds of accommodations can be found to suit every taste and pocket. The Aegean is the perfect holiday centre for all kinds of people: lovers of clear blue seas, lovers of nature, sun worshippers, photographers, sportsmen, sailors, and archaeologists. There is something for everyone. 

The fertile lands of the Aegean interior have been home to many important early civilizations. Today the cities, towns and villages contain the remains of these civilizations, a lot of interesting traditional Turkish architecture, and many Ottoman mosques. There are many hot springs in the region and the adjacent resorts accommodate those seeking their pleasurable and beneficial effects.
