The country is washed by four seas - the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara and Black. The capital is Ankara, but, of course, Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, its industrial and financial center. And also everyone knows the resort of Antalya, surrounded by large hotels. Almost all industries are developed here, the climate is warm, there are fresh fruits and vegetables all year round, nutmegs, cherries, apricots, pomegranates and dates.
The richest regions of the country are the northwest and west, the cities of Istanbul and Ankara, where the main production is concentrated. Turkey has achieved impressive results in the field of tourism, introducing new formats of recreation to the world, namely: all-inclusive club hotels. There are many restaurants, pool bars, noisy parties and incendiary dances. Mostly Europeans (Germans, Scandinavians, British) rest here, as well as Ukrainians and Russians.
Russians Turkey attracts with its geographic proximity, quality of service, low cost, no need for a visa. Even with the language barrier, the Turks cope pretty quickly. The best hotels in the world are in Turkey!
These are also historical regions. There are no less sights here than in Europe: ancient cities, hot springs, ruins of castles and, of course, magnificent nature with mountains and endless beaches.

- excellent quality roads;
- in cities there is no priority for pedestrians and you need to be careful;

- cities constantlymodernized and improved;
- solar panels are widely used;
- peculiar trading style and over-persistence, intrusive marketing;
- in many stores and markets, prices are not indicated, it is customary to bargain;

- but alcohol prices are high, on average twice as high as in Europe (by the way, Efes beer is a Turkish brand);
- blocked access to "Wikipedia";

Diving
Bodrum - that's where you need to go to the sea for new underwater experiences. It is located on the Aegean coast just opposite the Greek island of Kos. The water here warms up to 24 degrees, and it is comfortable and very interesting to take a walk through the underwater depths.
There are many small picturesque bays with crystal clear water in these parts; it is here that the dream of anyone who wants to swim among the rocks and reefs, go down to sunken ships, explore underwater caves, see the unusual species of fish that live in the Mediterranean Sea will come true.
The main events of the city are connected with the port, where yachts from all over the world come, ships of diving clubs moor here, and the Gumbet Sun Club Bodrum 4hotel in Bodrum is located near the pier. Found in the depths of the sea:
- barracuda;
- yellow-tailed moray eels;
- octopuses;
- giant snails;
- a sea lily that lives on reefs;
- spirograph;
- two-meter ramps;
- sponges;
- fish soldiers.
Many inhabitants arrived here from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal.

There is even an opportunity for curious divers to look at ancient artifacts. Copies of valuable items were placed at the bottom exactly in the place where they were found. Drivers can now visit this underwater museum and touch the time. The only pity is that there is no diving school in the Gumbet Sun Club Bodrum e 4(Bodrum) hotel and beginners have to look for training elsewhere.
Where to go on a tour

- Pamukkale thermal springs are located 30 kilometers from the Bodrum peninsula - this is truly one of the magicalplaces in Turkey.

The healing properties of thermal springs have been known since ancient times - the water temperature is 36 degrees, it is saturated with calcium carbonate and carbon dioxide, which is very helpful for heart disease, and the water is good for the skin and promotes rapid recovery after surgery. Many come here for treatment, take baths, and the skin becomes ruddy, like a peach, and soft, like silk. Here you can definitely relax and calm down.

Tourists' opinions
Based on numerous reviews, it can be noted that the Gumbet Sun Club Bodrum 4(Turkey) fully meets its four stars in terms of service and maintenance. But, importantly, it is considered one of the youth hangout places, so when you come here, you do not need to hope for a calm and measured vacation. The hotel is located on the street of bars, there are constantly funny parties, dancing until the morning, there are drunk people and quite noisy. Therefore, it is better to go with children to another place, otherwise the vacation will be ruined.
