The Aegean Coast

Bodrum
Bodrum is not one place but a peninsula: whitewashed town centre, the marina at Yalıkavak, the fish tavernas of Gümüşlük, the jetty clubs of Türkbükü — each bay with its own character.

Black Sea Region
The Black Sea and Highlands
In summer the eastern Black Sea is where Turkish travellers go to escape the coastal heat: the Ayder, Pokut and Sal highlands, the lakeside at Uzungöl and the Sümela monastery clinging to its cliff form the core of the region.
