Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

Patara Beach

This 12-mile long beach is also a National Park. Its proximity to the ruins keeps hotels from developing in the area, making it great for uncrowded swimming as well as bird watching.

We took the boat to the beach and the journey was great to experience nice and relaxing along the river. When we arrived we decided to walk to the end of the beach to visit the turtle sanctuary it was very interesting and worth visiting and making a donation. we walked back along the sandy beach and it was a very pleasant day out we returned via boat and arrived in the evening sun which was very nice. The beach has plently of facilities , showers changing huts etc and a cafe type place plently of sun loungers and nice warm sea! Overall it was a great day out!

Yahsi Beach

Reviewed By TrWorldTraveler - Bloomington, United States

In the Bodrum areas, some bays are not as wide open as Ortakent yahsi beach. That is why, often times, they are not as clean as this beach. The yahsi beach is also perfect for water sports such as surfing, sailing or parasailing. Other water activities like banana, jet skis are available too. There are great ice cream shops, cafes, restaurants and shops in this bay. Our favorites are Lugga hotel, Zest hotel, Kefi beach club, bar/restaurant, Vira’s beach/restaurant, seafood restaurants near the yahsi marina and Bitez dondurma.

Kent Park

Reviewed By salehalabed - Amman, Jordan

Kent park is, I believe, the biggest park in Eskişehir, with big lake inside it and a small river surrounding it on the other end, it lovely place. You can spend good times with kids, and family. Winter is different, I found only two restaurants opening, all other cafeterias were closed... Possibly in other seasons, all will be opening.
