Remind yourself of Turkey’s top beauty spots with Katie McGonagle’s guide


eaches tend to steal the limelight any time clients are seeking inspiration for their next holiday, and understandably so. Given the current restrictions on our day-to-day lives, who wouldn’t


dream about lying back on a sun-kissed beach, cocktail in one hand and trashy novel in the other, as waves lap at their feet? Turkey’s stunning beaches, along both its Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines, fulfil that vision. Yet those aren’t the only beauty spots you’ll find in this vast country, where everything from steep-sided canyons to lunar-like landscapes can enrich your client’s beach break no end.

1 CAPPADOCIA


This region in central Anatolia is famed for its fairy chimneys and cave dwellings, though these days, it might be better known for the myriad hot-air balloons that take tourists to the skies at sunrise each day to see the remarkable landscape from above. Kuoni product and purchasing manager Angelo D’Avino says: “Cappadocia was formed 60 million years ago by erosion of layers of lava and ash from the volcanic mountain range. Nowadays, it has great importance in terms of tourism, particularly the traditional Cappadocian houses and dovecotes carved


into caves, reflecting the uniqueness of this area of Turkey.” Book it: Kuoni offers five nights’ B&B in a Stone Room at Argos, BA


flights from Heathrow and transfers, from £1,149 for travel in June 2021. kuoni.co.uk
