This year we vacationed in the west of Turkey: Ayvalyk, Chishmya, Chinakalle Izmir, etc
. I found out what is called Turkey from the other side! And this is literally and figuratively. Marmara, the Aegean Sea, the Bosphorus Strait. At a time when the air in Antalya was 36-38 degrees in July, it was a comfortable 29-32
The purest , most transparent water ! We stayed for 3 - 5 days in different towns and every time the impression was as if we were on a country cruise)) One looks like Sicily , the next is Spain , Greece , Montenegro👍
Ancient cities, everything is very authentic. There are no barkers , music screaming from everywhere . Calm , intelligent atmosphere , delicious food .
Beautiful architecture.
One disadvantage is that this part of Turkey is a favorite vacation spot for rich Turks and the prices are designed for this audience.
