A Turkish holiday is sure to be packed with sun, sea and plenty of culture. Holidaymakers looking for an adventure are sure to find it here, with the brilliant East-meets-West culture that Turkey is known for along with it’s exciting and diverse regions where you’ll find cheap hotels.

Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, is a great place to start your Turkish adventure. It’s the only city in the world that spans two continents! Positioned half in Europe and half in Asia, the city is a reflection of both cultures. Byzantine architecture and European culture coincide in harmony.

Turkey hotels range in price and quality, but if you want to do well on both accounts, book a room at the beautiful Best Western President Istanbul hotel. It overlooks the Marmara Sea and offers a spectacular view of the city skyline.Its 204 rooms and suites are tastefully decorated and come with private bathrooms, satellite television and mini bar. Some have their own kitchenettes, while a selection offer breathtaking views of the sea. The Roof Restaurant offers a rich Turkish and international cuisine along with a view of the city. A heated pool, sauna and steam bath are guarantied to offer relaxation after a day of sightseeing.

For a city with a great buzz and historical importance, plan your break in the city of Trabzon. An important commercial centre, the city has attracted a wide range of people and continues to offer both diversity and harmony for those who live there and those who are passing by.

The La Couronne d’Or Restaurant serves mouthwatering authentic Turkish dishes.

For a bit of an ancient mix, visit the city of Canakkale, which dates back 5,000 years. The Dardanelles strait is only 50km away. Meanwhile, the ruins of ancient Troy are easily accessible by bus, which leaves on a regular basis from Canakkale centre.

If you’re looking to lap up the luxury, the Anzac Hotel is your ideal spot for accommodation. Its select 25 rooms come with private baths, air conditioning, a minibar and 24 hour room service.
