Turkey hotels

Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and the third capital of the Ottoman Empire. It is the most popular tourist destination in the country, owing to the historically significant sites such as the Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque and the Dolmabahce Palace. We recommend staying at the Sultan Hostel & Guesthouse, within easy walking distance of the Hagia Sophia. Alternatively, we suggest the Nobel Hostel Guesthouse, only a few steps from the Blue Mosque and close to Istanbul's historic centre.

Antalya is the largest Turkish city on the Mediterranean. It is home to some impressive hotels and beach resorts as well as historic sites. Thanks to its location on the Turkish Riviera and historical sites such as the Hidirlik Tower and Hadrian's Gate, both located in the city centre, Antalya is one of Turkey's most popular holiday destinations. We suggest staying at the Akra Hotel with its private beach, indoor and outdoor pool and fitness centre. Another option is the Tekeli Konaklari hotel. It is in close proximity to the harbour, the Old Bazaar and the Mermerli Plaji, a busy city centre beach close to the Old City Marina. On an ordinary day, you will find its cafes and restaurants packed with locals and tourists alike and the clear waters of the Mediterranean afloat with boats and bathers.

Belek, a city on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, has several new, state-of-the-art golf courses. The Zeynep Hotel is a good choice for keen golfers who don't want to travel too far, as it is only a 5-minute drive to the Kaya Eagles Golf Club, one of the most famous golf courses in the country. An alternative option is to stay at the Regnum Carya hotel, only 0.5 miles from the Carya Golf Club and famous for being part-designed by the 5-time Open winner, Peter Thomson.
