Turkey is a brilliant holiday destination if you’re looking to explore a vibrant culture in a stunning setting. Turkey offers visitors an exotic blend of East-meets-West culture, with plenty of options when it comes to affordable areas and 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 influences can be seen side by side here.
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 are equipped with kitchenettes and several have a breathtaking view 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 complete the offering.
Another interesting Turkish city is Trabzon – it mixes the roots of the historical Silk Road with a buzzing commercial centre. 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.
As for top Turkey hotels, it doesn’t get much better than the Zorlu Grand Hotel in Trabzon. All the expected conveniences can be found in the rooms. Meanwhile, the Couronne d’Or Restaurant serves up delicious authentic dishes. A salon and fitness centre are available to guests, including a pool, Turkish bath – a must for those wanting to experience the relaxation techniques of the Sultans – and sauna.
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.
During your stay in this lovely city, be sure to rest your head at the beautiful Anzac Hotel. Its twenty-five rooms come with private baths, air conditioning, minibar and twenty-four hour room service. The hotel restaurant is highly flexible, offering a lavish buffet breakfast and accommodating individual requests for dinner. If this is perhaps a bit beyond your budget, then there are of course a selection of cheap Turkey hotels nearby which will allow you to explore the area just as easily.
