The Turkish Aegean, which stretches from Izmir in the north to Fethiye in the south, is increasingly establishing itself as an attractive alternative to the more popular Turkish Riviera. Holidaymakers are discovering this region in southwestern Turkey with its diverse coastal landscape, ancient sites, and unspoiled natural areas.
The region boasts hidden coves, turquoise waters, and sandy beaches, nestled in hilly, verdant surroundings. Numerous historical sites such as Ephesus, Pergamon, and Priene bear witness to its rich history. Nature lovers will enjoy the olive groves, pine forests, and hiking trails. The blend of authentic atmosphere, diverse cuisine, and pleasant climate makes the Turkish Aegean particularly appealing.
Tour operator Alltours has expanded its flight offerings to the region for summer 2025 to 320 flights per week, offering direct flights to the international airports of Izmir, Bodrum, and Dalaman. The hotel selection has also been expanded to over 150 hotels. Special highlights include Didim, with its Temple of Apollo and proximity to Ephesus, as well as Fethiye, with its Lycian Way, and Ölüdeniz.
