You must book your flights
& tickets before reserving a hotel!
Turkish Riviera
The Aegean
Sea extends from the Mediterranean northward
between Greece and Turkey. It covers an area
of about 214,000 km˛ / 82,625 sq mi and
surrounds many islands. Its southern
entrance is partially blocked by the islands
of Crete (Girit) and Rhodes (Rodos). The
Aegean extends about 640 km / 400 mi from
Crete northward to the coast of Thrace and
its width ranges from 195-400 km /
120-250 mi.
The coast of the Aegean is mountainous and
only in Macedonia and Thrace in the north
are there extensive coastal plains. The
narrow waterway known as the Dardanelles
enters the Aegean from the northeast and
carries the discharge from the Black Sea. It
gives access through the Marmara Sea and the
Bosphorus to the Black Sea. A major feature
of the Aegean is that no ship can be out of
sight of land for long. In classical times,
this encouraged navigation and facilitated
movement between its shores. Today most of
the islands in the Aegean Sea are Greek.
Turkey (Turkiye in Turkish) is a
country located at a point where the 3
continents of the old world (Asia, Africa
and Europe) are closest to each other and
where Asia and Europe meet.
Because of its geographical location,
Anatolia has always been important
throughout history and is the birthplace of
many great civilizations.
The surface area of Turkey including the
lakes is 814,578 km˛ / 314,503 sq miles. It
is much larger than many European countries
or even Texas (18%) in the US. Out of the
total land, 97% is in Asia and this part is
called Anatolia or Asia Minor; 3% is in
Europe which is called Thrace.
Although 97% of Turkey is located in Asia,
in many respects it is accepted as a
European country and as a result, Turkey
takes its place in nearly all European
contests and associations.
Turkey is rectangular in shape with a length
of 1,660 km / 1,031 miles and a width of 550
km / 341 miles.

Alanya is also known as
the `Pearl of the Turkish Riviera` and is world famous for it`s
kilometres of fine and clean beach, crystal-clear water and the

water sports to entertain during your stay. However, its
historical past and multi-cultural way of life has made Alanya an
unforgettable experience and a must for those looking for
adventure!
