South-west Turkey offers the most spectacular vacations in the Mediterranean - scenically beautiful, with an astonishingly rich legacy of archeologic ruins and historic sites.  In Turkish,  Mediterranean is called Akdeniz, or "White Sea". Those familiar with its beryline waters and spectacular vistas punctuated with coves, castles and cities of the ancient world prefer to call it the Turquoise Coast , where the color of the sea is naturally turquoise

The region has recently been a gateway to world tourism of Turkey with its clean beaches along with numerous resort centers and different alternatives for entertainment. The area, being serviced by international airports (at Dalaman, Milas, Izmir, Antalya) is easily accessible.

For the purist who seeks nothing so much as that untouched Arcadia, the Turquoise Coast has much to offer, while for the more traditional beach seekers, the new development of this very special corner of the Mediterranean is an invitation to visit again and again.
