101 Best Wedding Tips Smart Ideas for Your Wedding & Honeymoon!

 

Alone together. At last. Just the two of you, with nothing but love on your mind. You need only think of each other, because we've thought of everything else.

The formalities are over. A wedding is one thing... enjoying the honeymoon is another. Let the honeymoon be in Turkey. Why Turkey???

*Because Istanbul is in Turkey : Expore the beauty and charm of a city embraces two continents, one arm streching towards Asia, the other towards Europe. In between streches the Bosphorus, a strait which gives access to the Sea of marmara, the Black Sea and the Golden Horn. Successive Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires have made Istanbul their capital. While it protects the treasures of its past with pride, it also looks towards the future.

The variety to be found in Istanbul is indeed magical. It seems as though its museums, churches, mosques, market places, palaces and natural beauties are inexhaustible making it possible not to feel that Istanbul is one of the most important cities in the world.

The innumerable attractions of its historic past and cultural heritage together with its modern hotels, speciality restaurants, night clubs, cabarets, historic bazaars and shops make Istanbul a very active centre.

The waters of the Bosphorus reflect the great splendour and true beauty of Istanbul in a synthesis of past and present. Here one may see new hotels cheek by jowl with old waterside mansions, stone castles juxtaposed with rustic palaces and modern complexes by the side of fishing villages. To take a trip along the magnificient Bosphorus observe its incredible beauty is to take an enchanted journey through time. Such a trip might begin in front of Dolmabahce Palace and continue past the green park of Yildiz Palace with its splendid pavilions.

Next comes Ortakoy where every Sunday the streets are like an open-air gallery full of artists exhibiting their works. One can also say that Ortakoy with its juxtaposition of church, mosque and synagogue gives a typical example of the age-old tolerance towards religion. Here, too, can be found the Bosphorus Bridge, a modern suspension bridge, one of the longest such bridges in the world, which joins Europe and Asia as it passes over the head of buildings more traditional in their architecture. After passing under the bridge one comes to Beylerbeyi Palace on the Asian side behind which rises Camlica, the highest hill in the environs of Istanbul.

On the other shore the Ottoman wooden houses of Arnavutkoy followed by the modern luxury apartments of Bebek create a striking difference. A few kilometres further up the fortresses of Rumeli Hisar and Anadolu Hisar stand opposite each other like guardians of the city. On the shore near Anadolu Hisar is Goksu Palace. After passing these fortresses a second bridge joining the two continents, that of Mehmet Conqueror, can be seen stradding the two shores. Next come Emirgan on the European side and on the Asian Kanlica and Cubuklu, leading to Beykoz famous for its woods. On the European side at Tarabya moored yachts seem to dance in consort the length of the bay. Fish restaurants and tavernas can be found along the road from Tarabya to Buyukdere and Sariyer, the farthest points from the city itself. A little further on from Sariyer the Straits open out into the Black Sea.

*Because Antalya (Turkish Riviera) is in Turkey : In the Mediterranean region, where even in the coldest months of January and February the temperature of the sea is 17 C and the outdoor temperature is between 10 C and 11C, seasons are merely names on the calender. Of course, this is the main reason for the great variety of tourism available in this region.

In Antalya, the pine-clad Toros (Taurus) Mountains sweep down to the sparkling clear sea resulting in an irregular coastline of rocky headlands and secluded coves.

The region, bathed in sunshine for 300 days of the year, is a paradise for sunbathing, swimming and sports activities like wind surfing, water skiing, sailing, mountain climbing and spelunking. If you come to Antalya in March or April, you can ski in the mornings and in the afternoons swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Awaiting your discovery are important historical sites set in a landscape of pine forests, olive and citrus groves and palm, avocado and banana plantations.

The Turkish Riviera is the tourism capital of Turkey. Its full range of accomodation, from tourist class to deluxe hotels, and the hospitable people of Antalya will make your holiday comfortable and enjoyable.

Surrounded by amazing scenery of sharp contrasts, Antalya, Turkey's principal holiday resort, is an attractive city with shady palm-lined boulevards and a prize-winning marina. In the picturesque old quarter of Kaleici, narrow, winding streets and old wooden houses about the ancient city walls.

The 42 km of road from Antalya to Kemer pass through spectacular mountain scenery. This resort town has been carefully designed to blend in with the surrounding scenery and offers an ideal environment for a wonderful holiday. The fully-equipped Kemer marina allows yachtsmen to enjoy the unspoiled bays and beaches south of the town. Shoppers will delight in the wonderful range of high quality souvenirs for sale. A beach promenade north of the marina has steps down from its cafes and shops leading directly to the beach. Kemer Beach is a Blue Flag beach. (The term "Blue Flag" coined by the European Union signifies especially clean beaches). In the Yoruk (Nomad) Theme Park you can watch traditional crafts people at work. The adjoining bay is a charming and delightful spot with many sports and daily entertainments facilities discreetly hidden among the pines. April is the month for the colorful Kemer carnival. Also in the spring are the yacht races between Kemer and Girne in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and between other locations.
