Turkey
One of the most charming historic centres in the Mediterranean — a labyrinth of narrow cobblestone lanes, Ottoman-era wooden houses, Roman-era walls, and the iconic Hadrian's Gate built to mark the Emperor's visit in 130 CE.
The Lara Beach strip east of Antalya hosts some of Turkey's largest and most acclaimed all-inclusive resorts — sprawling five-star complexes with multiple pools, private beach sections, and outstanding value for UK families and couples.
Düden Waterfalls cascade directly into the sea at Lower Düden — a sight unlike almost anywhere else in Europe. The Upper Düden park makes a popular day trip with picnic areas and forest walks just a short drive from the city centre.
One of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world, built in the second century CE, it still seats fifteen thousand people and hosts an international opera and ballet festival each June and July.
The Taurus Mountains form a dramatic backdrop to Antalya's coastline, visible from the resort strip. Day trips into the range reveal dramatic gorges, Lycian ruins, and panoramic views over the Mediterranean coastline below.

Travel Essentials
Visa & Entry
UK passport holders must obtain a Turkish e-Visa before travel at the official portal (evisa.gov.tr) — it cannot be obtained at the airport. The standard tourist e-Visa costs approximately USD 30 and permits a single entry for up to thirty days. Always verify current requirements at gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey.
Money & Currency
Turkey uses the Turkish Lira (TRY). The pound buys significantly more Turkish Lira than in previous years, making Turkey outstanding value — dining out, day trips, shopping, and drinks outside your all-inclusive are noticeably cheaper than equivalent experiences in Spain, Greece, or Portugal.
Language
Turkish is the official language; English is very widely spoken in resort areas, hotels, and tourist sites throughout Antalya. Local tipping (restaurants, taxi drivers, resort staff) is customary and appreciated — typically rounding up or ten percent is the norm.
Best Time to Visit
May to October is Turkey's Mediterranean summer season — Antalya and the Aegean coast at their best, with peak summer (June to August) delivering 35°C+ days ideal for the beach. Spring and autumn (May, September, October) offer pleasantly warm mid-twenties temperatures with quieter resorts. Istanbul is a year-round destination.
Getting Around
Antalya Airport is thirteen kilometres from the city centre and approximately twenty-five minutes from the Lara Beach resort strip by road. Within the resort area, taxis and resort transfers cover most needs. Day trips to Aspendos, Side, and the Taurus Mountains are easily arranged; Istanbul is served by Antalya's domestic connections. Travel Orbit arranges all transfers.
Health & Safety
Turkey is generally safe for UK tourists in resort and city areas. No specific vaccinations are required for entry. The Turkish sun at peak summer (35°C+) is intense — sun protection and hydration are essential at beach and historic sites. Comprehensive travel insurance including medical cover is strongly recommended.

Flights to Turkey from the UK are among the most competitively priced in Europe, with a wide choice of scheduled and charter airlines. Turkish Airlines and Pegasus operate from London to Istanbul, while easyJet, Jet2, and TUI fly from London and UK regional airports to Antalya, Dalaman, and Bodrum. Contact Travel Orbit for a personalised fare quote — we can also combine your flights with an ATOL-protected Turkey holiday package for the best overall value.
The lowest fares to Turkey are generally available in March to April and October to November — the shoulder seasons outside the summer charter peak. The peak charter season (June to August) and UK school holidays see the highest fares and occupancy, particularly to Antalya and the Aegean coast. Booking eight or more weeks ahead and travelling mid-week can deliver meaningful savings. Istanbul city-break fares tend to be available year-round with less seasonal variation.
Turkish Airlines operates scheduled services from London Heathrow and Gatwick to Istanbul Ataturk (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen (SAW). Pegasus Airlines flies from London Stansted to Istanbul SAW and Antalya (AYT). easyJet serves Antalya from London Gatwick and Luton. Jet2 and TUI operate seasonal charter flights to Antalya (AYT), Dalaman (DLM), and Bodrum Milas (BJV) from a wide range of UK regional airports. Travel Orbit compares all options to find the best fare for your departure point and dates.
