The best beach resorts in Turkey are those located beside the inland waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. You’ll also find them along the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. These resorts are located along the Turkish Riviera, stretching alongside the country’s southern coast from Antalya to Bodrum.
While Turkey is famous for rich culture and history, it’s also an ideal destination for those looking to relax and unwind near the beach. In fact, you’ll have many options when looking for the best beach resorts. Some resorts are adults-only and cater to couples on honeymoon, while others have child-friendly amenities and are best suited for family holidays.
