Turkish Coast

Combines the best features of a Sunflower walking guide with all the detail you would expect in a hefty general guide. A Turkish poet once described the area between Bodrum and Marmaris as 'terrifyingly' beautiful. Silver-leaved olive groves and wild inland mountains yield up the remains of ancient civilisations. The dazzling multi-coloured bays, framed by fissured cliffs and collared with golden sand, are the stuff of dreams. Snuggled into the coves are romantic fishing villages, where you will be greeted with genuine Turkish hospitality. In some old mountain villages and along isolated sections of the coast there are more and more small quiet places to stay. All the authors have been visiting Turkey for many years, writing general and walking guides. They guide you through the most beautiful landscapes of the region.
