What to expect in Turkey:
Don't miss these must-sees in Turkey:
Bodrum Amphitheatre
20min from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye:
Just 20 minutes from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye Resort, you can admire the Bodrum Amphitheatre. Built during the 4th century BC, under the reign of King Mausolus, this magnificent traditional Greek theatre is considered an architectural masterpiece of the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus, which is today known as Bodrum. In summer, festivals breathe life back into the theatre which once welcomed over 13,000 spectators during the classic era.
Address: Yeniköy, 48400 Bodrum/Muğla
Pamukkale
3h45 from Palmiye:
The Pamukkale site, which literally translates as the “Castle of Cotton” is one of Turkey’s most stunning geographical sites. These ancient Roman baths are known for their waterfalls, which have become mineralized by the white rock which does, indeed, look like cotton. Today, you can still enjoy its naturally warm springs, which are a pleasant 36 °C.
Address: Kale, Merkez Denizli TR, 20190 Pamukkale/Denizli
The rock sanctuaries of Cappadocia
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia:
The rock-hewn sanctuaries of Cappadocia are unique in both their density and quality. Wonder at the unique relics of post-iconoclastic Byzantine art, as you discover them in the setting of the breathtaking landscape of the Göreme National Park, sculpted by erosion. A treasure trove of these priceless works of art which have been classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Address: Nevşehir Yolu Üzeri 1. Km., 50180, Turquie
Sultan Ahmet Camii
The Blue Mosque, built between 1609 and 1616 under the reign of Sultan Ahmet is probably Istanbul's most famous mosque. It was once the main starting point for pilgrimages to Mecca. Considered as the last example of Ottoman architecture in its classic form, the mosque rivals Hagia Sophia both in terms of size and the wealth of its earthenware and mosaics.
Address: Sultan Ahmet, Atmeydanı Cd. No:7, 34122 Fatih/İstanbul
The vacation of a lifetime
Enjoy effortless luxury and Mediterranean climates with our all-inclusive holidays to Turkey. Choose from a range of adventures across land and water or find your perfect oasis where everyone can chill out. Unforgettable experiences, vast sea views and beaches that stretch for miles: it’s all yours.
Something for everyone
Our Turkey holidays offer everything. There’s water sports aplenty and a multitude of other activities from tennis to archery. Take a day trip to bustling, history-packed Istanbul and wonder at the vast domes of the Hagia Sophia. Explore the fascinating Beldibi Cave and its prehistoric ruins. Or hop on a cable car to the top of Tahtali mountain and experience the amazing views.
A feast of colours
From the dazzling blue sea to golden beaches and deep tans, family holidays in Turkey are a multicoloured paradise. Walk the bustling streets of Kemer, testing your haggling skills in fascinating shops full of trinkets. Board a ship for an amazing sea adventure to discover the sunken city of Simena. Or ride horses through a countryside abundant with rich aromas and ancient trees.
At the limits of Asia and Europe, natural wonders are waiting for your stay in Turkey
Discover incredible landscapes during your all inclusive stay in Turkey. 3 hours from your Club Med Kemer resort, make a stop at the Pamukkale natural site to admire its mineralised waterfalls which are a glistening, pristine white.
The magic continues in Cappadoce, at the Göreme National Park. Amongst the rocks forming chimneys, sculpted by erosion, several cave churches are hidden with incredible rock paintings, providing the perfect example of the beauty of Byzantine art.
30 minutes from the park, the wonders don’t cease as you discover the city of Kaymakli and its tunnels covering several kilometres. This underground city, over eight levels, is one of many troglodyte cities for which the region has become famous.
Turkey, a mosaic of civilisations
Nurtured by Ottoman, Greek and Roman influences, Turkey's culture is just as varied as the landscapes.
To brush up on your history, head for Ankara and the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations. Its large collection of artefacts, from the Palaeolithic era to the time of the Ottomans is an incredible archaeological journey.
Continue your cultural immersion in the ancient Halicarnassus: just 30 minutes from your Club Med Bodrum Palmiye resort, your stay in Turkey leads you to Bodrum’s Greek amphitheatre, which has been perfectly preserved since the 4th century BC.
Just a few metres from the amphitheatre, take a running jump into the medieval period by visiting Bodrum Castle, which was built by the Order of Hospitallers.
A vacation taking on all inclusive pleasures and flavors in Turkey
Just like the culture, the cuisine has soaked up various influences, blending Asian, Oriental and Mediterranean flavours. Heading back from the souvenir stands of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, try mezze, börek (savoury pastry) and cheeses which are part of the country’s rich culinary culture.
Why not take a seat and sip on a Turkish coffee as you admire the Blue Mosque? Discover this model of Ottoman architecture which is the starting point for pilgrims heading to Mecca and delve a little deeper into the secrets at the heart of Turkey.
Finally, bring your all inclusive holiday in Turkey to a close with a visit to Hagia Sophia, a basilica symbolising this overlapping of cultures. The first basilica of the Christina era was transformed into a mosque before becoming a museum.
Discover Turkey During Your Next Vacation
Thanks to a pleasant climate and friendly people, you’ll receive a warm welcome in Turkey. Our all inclusive holiday offers give you a choice of destinations. Whether you opt for the getaway or tour that you want, Club Med takes care of the rest. Go on vacation with your family, with your children, solo or as a couple; Turkey is a multi-faceted country.
Did you know that the Turkish Riviera is also beautiful in winter? Take advantage of the fact that there are fewer tourists at this time of year compared to the summer season to spend winter holidays in the sun. If you are a foodie, Turkish cuisine offers versatility in its traditional dishes. With a hot mint tea, tasting delicious loukoums will immediately immerse you in Turkey's unique atmosphere.
Recommended family Resort in Turkey
Choosing an all-inclusive family vacation in Turkey means a lot of the hard work is already done for you, and a Club Med holiday offers something for every age range throughout the family – from babies and toddlers, to older kids, teens and adults.
Great options for all-inclusive family resorts in Turkey include the Palmiye Hotel and Palmiye Bungalow resorts, which offer everything from archery and waterskiing to a flying trapeze school and great pools for the younger ones - included in the package price!
Turkey reveals the depths of its character
With enchanting scenery, Turkey is the ideal playground for your family holiday. On the Mediterranean coast, Konyaalti Beach offers a heavenly backdrop for lovers of water sports, with an unobstructed view of the mountains. 1 hour from your Club Med Palmiye resort, take a refreshing break in the little corner of paradise to be found by the Düden Waterfalls. In Cappadocia, have fun getting lost in the labyrinth of tunnels in the city of Kaymakli. This strange, underground city is built over 8 superimposed levels, more than 40m below the surface.
All inclusive as a family: Turkey reveals its riches
To discover the country’s roots, take off for Istanbul, just 1 hour from your Club Med Palmiye resort by plane. Head for Hagia Sophia, an ancient basilica and mosque which illustrates the complex history of Turkey. Continue your discoveries with the Istanbul Archaeological Museum: through the millions of works in its collections and fun installations, your family can work on your knowledge of the country. Finally, it’s by the Grand Bazaar after your quest to find souvenirs that you’ll celebrate the end of your family holiday around a plate of Turkish delight and a helping of helva.
Attractions for the family
Being a major world city, Istanbul has plenty to offer everyone in the way of shops, restaurants, parks, museums and culture – but it’s also home to some great family days out like Legoland, the Miniaturk model park and the Istanbul Aquarium.
Further out, water parks like Tortuga Pirate Island, at Kuşadası and Water World, near Fethiye, are huge fun – and Göynük’s Dinopark is one of the few places around where your kids will be able to ride a T-Rex.
Getting out and about
If you’re staying in an all-inclusive resort, it can often be tempting to stick as close to the bars and restaurants as possible. But Turkey is so full of towns, historical sites and attractions, that it seems a shame to miss out on a few day trips. They’re also a great way of making sure everyone in your family gets to do what they want – from kids to grandparents – with the best destinations offering a mix of different sights and activities. Just visit the Excursions office in the Resort for an offer.
If anyone’s keen on history, the Roman ruins of Xanthos are definitely worth a visit – and they’re comfortably close to the bohemian seaside town of Patra, which has its own fantastic beach and plenty of boutique browsing opportunities for anyone who prefers couture to culture. Elsewhere, the spa town of Dalyan is also one of the best places to go in Turkey for families thanks to its famous mud baths – great for mums and dads who want to detox, and for kids who want to get messy!
The ancient city of Ephesus, once the trade centre of the ancient world, is a must-visit, as is the Sumela Monastery which has just undergone a huge restoration project. Clinging to a cliff near Mt Melat, the 4th century AD monastery is a highlight of the Black Sea.
Finally, you can’t go to Turkey without visiting Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar — 58 streets packed with around 4,000 shops. But get your bargaining skills ready first.
