A Timeless Tour Through Turkey

A Timeless Tour Through Turkey

Sea and sun lover’s paradise

Immersed in history and surrounded by soaring mountains, sparkling beaches, valleys, and volcanoes, Turkey encapsulates just about everything you could ever desire in a vacation destination. The bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey is an incredibly diverse country, rich in culture and trade.

The unique Mediterranean climate allows for almost six months of summer in Southern parts of the country...so that counts as six months of vacation, right? With plenty to see, do, and explore, we definitely wish we had six months to spend in Turkey. 

The Turkish peninsula is surrounded by four breathtaking seas: the Mediterranean to the south, the Aegean to the west, the Sea of Marmara between the European and Asian landmasses, and the Black Sea to the north. There are plenty of  jaw-dropping luxury resorts scattered along the coast where you can soak up the Turkish sun. Or if staying in boutique hotels nestled in the caves of breathtaking Cappadocia, or a revolving hotel in Antalya is more your style, there are numerous unique spots for you to explore as well. 

Wander around the Greco-Roman world of Ephesus (we recommend getting a tour guide to take you around the incredible site), and carve out a whole day to explore this ancient city if you can.

From the Pontus and the Taurus Mountains in the Eastern Highlands to the sun-soaked beaches on the Aegean coast, Turkey’s landscape and historic-yet-vibrant cities will amaze you over and over again.

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel?

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels.

You’ve heard of Michelin Stars, but what about Michelin Keys? Earlier this month, Michelin awarded its second-ever group of Keys to outstanding hotels and resorts in over 100 countries across every continent (save Antarctica). Included on the list with a top three-Key designation is South Africa’s stunning royalmalewane — which debuted the new Masiya’s Camp, pictured here, earlier this year.

Check the link in our bio for the full list of newly keyed properties…and while you’re there, sign up for our newsletter: more bucket-list worthy hotel recommendations are coming your way later this week.

Calling all audiophiles. 🎧 Checking into the new Darsena Listening Suite at ilsereno in Lake Como needs to be on your bucket list. It’s outfitted with heritage-grade analog equipment, including horn speakers, tube amps, a turntable, a vintage reel-to-reel deck, and a vinyl library 500+ records deep—oh, and stunning views of the lake from an oversized private terrace, of course.
