CLC WORLD RESORTS

IN TURKEY

The very best of Turkey’s Aegean Coast can be all yours when you stay at either Kusadasi Golf & Spa resort or Apollonium Spa & Beach resort. This is a part of the world that inspires picture-postcards – white sands, the inviting turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, pine-clad mountains and historic monuments. On both CLC World Aegean Coast resorts you will find spacious sun terraces, endless pools, great food and indulgent spa treatments – even a championship 18-hole golf course (at Kusadasi) – which combine to make lasting holiday memories you’ll want to experience time and time again.

SUN, HISTORY AND ADVENTURE LOVERS

Holidays in Turkey are great for sun worshippers, culture vultures and adventure seekers.

WHERE SUN & CULTURE COLLIDE

Turkey is bordered by four different seas, one of which is the Aegean, where you will find inviting, translucent waters, miles of white sandy beaches and amazing sunsets. A major beach town on the western Aegean coast, Kusadasi is a popular stop-off for visitors to the classical ruins at nearby Ephesus (or Efes) and the fortified Byzantine castle on Pigeon Island. This is a truly fascinating part of the world, both culturally and historically. Your to-do list will be plentiful at CLC World Turkey: from outdoor activities, natural wonders, blue voyage tours, historical places and religious sites to shopping alternatives, entertainment and nightlife.

 

Food & Drink in CLC World Turkey

Turkish food is wonderfully varied, going far beyond the familiar kebab – and is widely regarded as being among the best in the world thanks to its central Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences. Meat is a large component of the Turkish diet, with lamb featuring heavily and dishes tending to be fragrantly spiced. Vegetarians are easily catered for as meze – a selection of sauces, dips and vegetables – can be found on almost every menu.

In Turkish restaurants, it’s not uncommon for visitors to enter the kitchen and choose from the pots if they don’t understand the names of the dishes. For a taste of home, a wide range of British dishes can also be found along the coast.
