If you’ve already bought your stylish tankini swimwear online, don’t let it go to waste this summer: we suggest you take a trip to some of the famous Turkish summer resorts and try out some cultural variety to refresh your summer retreat diet. Visit the colorful local market in Istanbul and bargain with the vendors for a while; take a dip at the Mermerli beach or Kabak Bay or take a day trip to the famous mineral water spa Pamukkale. And, oh, yes – try some pilaf, kebabs, yoghurt and round it off with a slice of Turkish delight or baklavas. Turkey has it all- between delicious food, hospitable people, vivid flee markets and stunning sites of natural beauty, you’ll forget what have-tos, urban frenzy and city life-related stress mean.
Summer is the perfect time of year to take a break from the mundane routine and get away from the big city for a while. Don’t miss the change to take in some sun in 2015 – because who knows, with the rising pollution, hectic pace of the modern world and those nasty greenhouse effects, the end of the world may in fact be approaching fast.
