Holidays to Turkey Villas Now Offered by Solmar

Luxury villa holiday specialist Solmar Villas has added villas in Turkey to its choice of European destinations – just in time for summer.

Holidaymakers can now choose from a number of holidays to Turkey, in luxury villas, in some of the best Turkey resorts.

Solmar Villas offers luxury villas in Spain, Italy, Cyprus and Tenerife, private villas in Lanzarote, Malta, Mallorca, and villas in Costa del Sol, Italy, Costa Brava, Algarve and Fuerteventura.

Now, Solmar has added holidays in Turkey to its growing list of destinations. “Turkey is an area of spectacular diversity,” explained Julie Blake, managing director of Solmar Villas. “It is a captivating region, where simplicity and sophistication rub shoulders in everyday life. Such endearing qualities are what make this stunning coastline so special, and what first prompted us to explore this dramatic destination.

Solmar Villas specialises in luxury villa holidays in a range of destinations in mainland Spain, as well as offering villas in Menorca, Mallorca, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. In summer 2013, Solmar Villas added holidays to Turkey to its growing list of destinations. Each luxury villa is hand-picked, and comes with a private pool. Solmar Villas offers a range of villa holiday deals and cheap villa holidays throughout the year.

“Holidays to Turkey can be an educational and eye-opening experience – with rich history dating back thousands of years – or simply a great way to soak up sunshine in stunning surroundings.”

Turkey resorts offer plenty for tourists – with 20 major Lycian sites, including Lycia capital Xanthos, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Tlos, a fortress-topped acropolis offering 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding Turkish scenery.

For more adventurous holidaymakers, Turkey is also home to the Saklikent Gorge – the second largest gorge in Europe which is scattered with tea rooms and restaurants; the Pinara, an ancient, mountain-top city above the Xanthos valley; and Letoon, a UNESCO heritage site with a Hellenistic theatre, a nymphaeum dating back to Hardian, and a series of Lycian inscriptions.

From June, luxury villa holiday specialist Solmar Villas will offer holidays at up to 25 different villas in Turkey, near popular Turkey resorts like Kalkan, Gocek, Kayakoy, Bodrum and Islamar.

If architecture, artefacts and adventure don’t suit, holidays in Turkey also offer plenty of relaxing activities. From Turkey’s rugged coastline to its stunning scenery, there’s plenty to sit and look at without breaking sweat.

All Solmar’s Turkey villas will include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, flat screen televisions, satellite, washing machines, dishwashers, full cooking facilities (including barbecue), and are within walking distance of local shops and amenities.

Fabulous Turkey Holiday Ideas by holidaymate.com

Holiday Mate understands that making the decision about where to go on holiday to Turkey can be difficult, so to make it a little easy Holiday Mate have revealed the three hottest destinations this year. These are Marmaris, Oludeniz and Bodrum. Here is a little bit about each of them:

Marmaris was once a small fishing village but those days are long gone. It is now one of Turkey’s most popular and largest holiday resorts. The town has a vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Home to one of the largest yachting marinas in Turkey, it is a beloved spot on cruises along the coast. A bustling, lively resort there is plenty to see and do with a plethora of shops, bazaars, restaurants, cafes, bars and night clubs. As well as plenty of excursions and trips. The neighbouring resort of Icmeler also lures its fair share of visitors. A much quieter and more laid back resort than Marmaris.

Bodrum is a historical town famous for once housing one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A picturesque port town where modernity’s effortlessly blend with the traditional, there are signs every where of its colourful history and rich culture. Popular with the rich and famous, reported visitors have included Beyonce, Tom Hanks and Sting. It is an area of fantastic beauty, with many sandy beaches where holidaymakers can spend relaxing days soaking up the sunshine whilst on holiday to Turkey.

Oludeniz is one of the most photographed places in Turkey and it’s no surprise why really, with its stunning beach, turquoise waters and famous Blue Lagoon. A popular destination with numerous restaurants and bars, the resort has still managed to retain its individual charm. The bars along the seafront make the perfect place to sit and watch the breathtaking sunset from or gaze at the paragliders as they slowly soar to the ground, after jumping off nearby Babadag Mountain.
