Turkey Activity Holidays

The locals are a super-friendly bunch and will spend hours talking to strangers. Whilst out and about it’s likely you’ll be offered tea at least once. If you do stop for tea, stay for a second cup – it’s the polite thing to do and you are on holiday, so what’s the rush? Another great tradition is the Turkish bath, you'll be soaped and scrubbed until you are squeaky clean. There's a Turkish bath at Cooks Club Adakoy, so you don't have to go far to immerse yourself in this traditional ritual.

The rich and varied history of Turkey is very much part of the day-to-day, with Roman temples, ancient theatres, churches, and Ottoman mosques dotted throughout the country, so you’re never far from a little bit of history. In Marmaris itself, you can wander the lanes of the old town, visit Marmaris Castle or enjoy the dancing fountains in the heart of the town.

If you’re looking for plenty of sunshine and long, hot summer days, then Turkey is most definitely for you. In May and June temperatures are in the mid to high 20’s, by July and August make sure you slap on the sun cream because it’s hot hot hot! You’ll be looking at mid to high 30’s with up to 12 hours of sunshine a day. Things start to cool down a little in September and October, but there’s still plenty of sunshine and the water will be at its warmest.
