Turkish Riviera` and is world famous for it`s kilometres of fine
and clean beach, crystal-clear water and the mild Mediterranean
climate. It boasts a fine selection of modern bars, cafes,
boutiques and fish restaurants as well as a host of water sports
to entertain during your stay.
However, its historical past and multi-cultural way of life has

looking for adventure!
Alanya
Behaviour: Remember that good
behaviour results in good treatment. Show
respect to the elderly and learn a few words or
phrases in Turkish.
Girls are advised not to dress too daringly thus
avoiding unwanted extra attention. In tourist
cities manners are more westernised while they
are more traditional and respectful in villages.

Camels and Donkeys: In some
places it is possible to ride either a camel or
a donkey. Remember to negotiate the price in
advance, have the exact amount ready and pay
only after the trip has finished.
Children: The Turks love
children and always give them lots of attention.
Be prepared, as kissing, hugging, teasing and
playing with children are the norm here. It is
okay to tell them to stop if you think it is
becoming annoying.
