Turkey – Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay
Description
Turkey is always a surprise to the first-time visitor. Nearly everything you thought you knew about this vast and dynamic country turns out to be less than certain on closer inspection. The landscape is fantastically varied. The historic sites impress even the most un-historically minded. The people never cease to amaze by their spontaneous charm and innate generosity. Everywhere you meet people who are willing to bend rules, or risk their own comfort, just to please a visitor – though he or she might be a perfect stranger to them.
Discover a 19th century Istanbul townhouse with a dazzling view of the Blue Mosque from its roof terrace
Breakfast on homemade savoury pastries in a delightful garden with kilim-clad seats at an exotic cave hotel
Splash out on the Pool Suite with its very own infinity pool suspended on the cliffs above the sparkling Med
