With almost 4,500 miles of coastline, Turkey is a delight for sea nymphs and day-tripping sun-seekers alike. With an enormous patrimony of antiquity often situated along the sea, a day at the beach could be simultaneously a trip back to ancient Greece, to the Roman Empire, or into the crumbling remnants of the Byzantine era. And with a commitment to ecologically sustainability, Turkey can boast 314 beaches that meet the stringent Blue Flag criteria.
