Beautiful inside and outside!
In the summer of 2004 we decided to go to somewhere exotic. We chose Turkey!
The resort we stayed was in Fethiye. It was a massive resort and we didn’t need to go out for anything. The swimming pool was the biggest one I have ever seen. The beach was nice, too. We did loads of aqua sports, sunbathing, eating, etc…

After 7 days we flew to Istanbul and it was amazing. I loved the diversity of things and people. The landscape is remarkable because we can see the contrast of the catholic vs. muslin, European vs. non European.

People are kind, food is great, it is not too expensive, lots of people speak English. And if you like hot weather….Turkey is the place!
