If there’s one reason why a trip to Turkey should be embarked upon at some point in your life, ignoring the obvious sun, sea and sand, it’s the cuisine. Turkish food provides some of the tastiest morsels you’ll ever devour and the only way to really sample it is by visiting the country itself. Luckily, there are plenty of fantastic reasons why a holiday in Turkey should be at the top of your destination list for a summer holiday, with Antalya breaks from Direct Holidays providing everything you could possibly wish for, including plenty of cultural and historical treats to broaden your mind, too.
If you need one reason to avoid an all-inclusive break in Antalya and opt for another board basis, such as self-catering or bed and breakfast, it’s the cuisine that you’d be missing out on by staying within your resort. The food is as mouth-watering as it is tempting and certainly doesn’t stop at the popular souvenir box of Turkish Delight.
During your visit, be sure to sample the traditional meze, whose counterparts can range from kalamar to kofte meatballs and aubergine salad.
Of course, the humble Iskender kebab (or, in fact, any of the authentic local kebabs) are an absolute must-try. A stay in Antalya will introduce you to a variety of regional and national kebab offerings – take a look at the options and order one that your tastebuds will love.
Turkish desserts are unlike anything you may have tried before – they love the sweet puddings and there’s an array of pastries available, including the famous baklava made of flaky pastry and nuts, covered with a deliciously sweet syrup – totally scrumptious, but too much of it may require a visit to the dentist.
While there’s an abundance of English-style restaurants in and around Antalya, what’s the point in travelling all that way to eat something you’d have at home? Try something new on your upcoming Turkey holiday for an exciting foodie experience on holiday.
