Accessible Holidays in Turkey

Turkey is one of the more exotic destinations that Enable Holidays offers, resting as it does at the intersection between Europe, Asia and Africa.  Being based at such a bubbling convergence of cultures, it’s no surprise that the country is home to over 20 different cultures and attracts as diverse a group of holiday makers as are resident in the country.

Turkish people are renowned for their friendliness, and aside from the forced companionship you may encounter in the most popular resorts, where locals may simply be attempting to sell more of their wares, much of the warmth and welcoming is genuine.

There are plenty of beaches to enjoy in Turkey, but perhaps few coastal experiences that rival the historical beauty of the architecture and archaeological sites to be found farther inland.  The archaeology involves a bewildering range of the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, offering glimpses into cultures as varied as Hittie, Greek, Hellenistic, Byzantine, Urartarian and more.  For this reason you can find stunning Islamic monuments, hilltop fortifications, city bazaars and ancient churches that stand close by to contemporary malls and chain stores.   

With a world-famous cuisine that many rate as one of the most rewarding on the planet, Turkey offers visitors both the chance to sample its national delicacies as well as numerous foods from across the world.  Locally, there are Anatolian kebabs to supply you with a spicier variant on the typical kebab, olive oil-drenched Aegean vegetables, and the sweetest of sweet baklava are some of Turkey’s highlights, though there are many more.

There are also steps being taken to improve the country’s disabled accessibility, which continues to help Turkey to grow in popularity as a striking, scintillating destination to visit for people with reduced mobility.

We have sourced some great hotels in Antalya - the gateway to the 'Turkish Riviera' in this glorious part of the Mediterranean with its wonderful coastline, palm-lined boulevards and prize-winning marina.
