| Aegean shores are among the loveliest
landscapes in the country. The magnificent coastline, lapped
by the clear water of the Aegean Sea, abounds in vast and
pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and
pine woods. Dotted with idyllic fishing harbors, popular holiday
villages and the remains of ancient civilizations attesting
to the inheritance of more than 5,000 years of history, culture
and mythology, this region offers a holiday with something
for everyone - nature lovers, sun worshippers, photographers,
sports enthusiasts, sailors and archaeologists. Along the
whole length of the coast, accommodations to suit every taste
and price range can be found.
The Aegean coastal plain enjoys an exceptionally mild climate,
with soft, verdant springs, hot summers, sunny autumns and
warm winters marked by occasional showers. For sunbathing
and water sports, the summer months are ideal; for exploring
the ancient ruins and picturesque countryside, spring and
autumn are the most inviting months. The Aegean provides
the perfect escape from the rigors of a northern winter:
even in January and February, the days are sunny and pleasant.

Izmir, the gateway to the Aegean region,
is connected to Istanbul by frequent air, bus and train connections.
The plane flight is a mere 45 minutes, while comfortable overnight
buses reach Izmir in eight hours. Convenient train connection
can be made from the Istanbul - Bandirma ferry, a five-hour
ride across the Marmara Sea (Fast ferries take only one hour
and 45 minutes for the same distance). Turkish Maritime Lines
used to operate over-night car ferries from Istanbul to Izmir
several times a week, as well as a crossing from Venice to
Cesme in the summer and autumn months. By private car, Izmir
can be reached via Bursa or via Canakkale coastal highway.
For travelers wishing to begin their journey further to the
south, the Dalaman airport is served by regularly scheduled
and charter airlines. Self-drive car rentals can be arranged
for pick-up at the airport.
