Discover Turkey

At the crossroads of cultures and eras, experience much more than just an all inclusive holiday in Turkey
Where worlds collide, the land of Byzantium and the Ottomans: where East meets West, Turkey offers the wonders of both cultures and scenery.
At the limits of Asia and Europe, natural wonders are waiting for your stay in Turkey
Discover incredible landscapes during your all-inclusive stay in Turkey. 3 hours from Club Med Kemer resort, make a stop at the Pamukkale natural site to admire its mineralised waterfalls which are a glistening, pristine white.
The magic continues in Cappadoce, at the Göreme National Park. Amongst the rocks forming chimneys, sculpted by erosion, several cave churches are hidden with incredible rock paintings, providing the perfect example of the beauty of Byzantine art.
30 minutes from the park, the wonders don’t cease as you discover the city of Kaymakli and its tunnels covering several kilometres. This underground city, over eight levels, is one of many troglodyte cities for which the region has become famous.
Turkey, a mosaic of civilisations
Nurtured by Ottoman, Greek and Roman influences, Turkey's culture is just as varied as the landscapes.
To brush up on your history, head for Ankara and the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations. Its large collection of artefacts, from the Palaeolithic era to the time of the Ottomans is an incredible archaeological journey.
Continue your cultural immersion in the ancient Halicarnassus: just 30 minutes from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye resort, your stay in Turkey leads you to Bodrum’s Greek amphitheatre, which has been perfectly preserved since the 4th century BC.
Just a few metres from the amphitheatre, take a running jump into the medieval period by visiting Bodrum Castle, which was built by the Order of Hospitallers.
A holiday taking on all-inclusive pleasures and flavours in Turkey
Just like the culture, the cuisine has soaked up various influences, blending Asian, Oriental and Mediterranean flavours. Heading back from the souvenir stands of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, try mezze, börek (savoury pastry) and cheeses which are part of the country’s rich culinary culture.
Why not take a seat and sip on a Turkish coffee as you admire the Blue Mosque? Discover this model of Ottoman architecture which is the starting point for pilgrims heading to Mecca and delve a little deeper into the secrets at the heart of Turkey.
Finally, bring your all-inclusive holiday in Turkey to a close with a visit to Hagia Sophia, a basilica symbolising this overlapping of cultures. The first basilica of the Christina era was transformed into a mosque before becoming a museum.

Antique City of Hierapolis
At the top of the hill at Pamukkale, come and discover the ruins and ancient antique city of Hierapolis. This spa town, which was built around the sacred source of Pamukkale, boasts particularly well-preserved remains. They demonstrate the importance of natural springs, resembling the Roman baths which today decorated the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum. The theatre or the temple of Apollo are also examples of these incredible vestiges which gained the site a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Ayasofya Müzesi - Ayasofya Meydani
Considered as the 8th wonder of the world, Hagia Sophia is the ancient basilica of Constantinople, edified between 532 and 548 and transformed into a mosque when the city was seized by the Ottomans in 1453. In 1934, it became the Aya Sofya Museum.
Hagia Sophia is the largest Byzantine architectural structure standing and is famous for its majestic interior decoration covering its floors and walls
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia
The rock-hewn sanctuaries of Cappadocia are unique in both their density and quality. Wonder at the unique relics of post-iconoclastic Byzantine art, as you discover them in the setting of the breathtaking landscape of the Göreme National Park, sculpted by erosion. A treasure trove of these priceless works of art which have been classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Bodrum Amphitheatre
Just 20 minutes from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye resort, you can admire the Bodrum Amphitheatre. Built during the 4th century BC, under the reign of King Mausolus, this magnificent traditional Greek theatre is considered an architectural masterpiece of the ancient Greek city of Halicarnassus, which is today known as Bodrum. In summer, festivals breathe life back into the theatre which once welcomed over 13,000 spectators during the classic era.
Pamukkale
The Pamukkale site, which literally translates as the “Castle of Cotton” is one of Turkey’s most stunning geographical sites. These ancient Roman baths are known for their waterfalls, which have become mineralised by the white rock which does, indeed, look like cotton. Today, you can still enjoy its naturally warm springs, which are a pleasant 36 °C.
Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi
During your stay in Turkey, discover the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara. Founded in 1921, the museum has rich collections with artefacts from various discoveries and digs from around Anatolia. You’ll discover works and objects from the worlds of the Hittites, the Phrygians, Greeks and Romans, dating from several thousands of years ago. A wealth of history which makes it one of the country's biggest museums.
Bodrum Castle
Soak in the stunning view over the Aegean Sea and visit Bodrum Castle during your stay in Turkey, just a few minutes from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye resort. This impressive castle was constructed in the Frankish architectural style in the south-west of Turkey by the Order of Hospitallers. Although the castle has withstood several attacks and countless acts of destruction, it nevertheless remains extremely well-preserved today.
Halicarnassus Mausoleum
For a long time, the Halicarnassus Mausoleum has sparked the imagination of visitors who have come from far and wide to admire the 5th wonder of the antique world. This funeral monument was edified in 353 BC, in honour of Mausolus. The most famous artists of the antique world took part in creating this tomb which stands at around 45m high. It was entirely destroyed in 1522, but you can still discover its ruins in the centre of Bodrum, just a few minutes from Club Med Bodrum Palmiye resort.
Sultan Ahmet Camii
The Blue Mosque, built between 1609 and 1616 under the reign of Sultan Ahmet is probably Istanbul's most famous mosque. It was once the main starting point for pilgrimages to Mecca. Considered as the last example of Ottoman architecture in its classic form, the mosque rivals Hagia Sophia both in terms of size and the wealth of its earthenware and mosaics.

Düden Waterfalls
1 hour from Club Med Kemer resort, discover the incredible Düden waterfalls. The Düden is one of the main rivers flowing through the south of Anatolia and here is where it meets the Mediterranean Ocean. The waterfalls are actually three separate cascades, with the most impressive, of course, being the last on the Antalya side, at 40m in height.
Underground City of Kaymaklu
Cappadocia was formed when three menacing volcanoes erupted thousands of years ago. Thanks to the soft and breakable volcanic rock which makes up the soil of the region, inhabitants were able to sculpt the landscape and carve underground cities as protection against invasion or persecution. The city of Kaymakli has eight levels and is surprisingly comfortable: it includes stables, a church and even a ventilation system.
