Best Honeymoon Destinations in Turkey
This little coastal town is locals’ favourite with its incredible remote beaches and prominent history of winemaking. This cute little old Greek fishing village is a popular summer destination but it’s offseason during Valentine’s Day. So it’s a perfect opportunity for couples who like serenity, good food, good wine and watching the sunset.
It’s fairly easy to get to Bozcaada by car and a ferry from Istanbul or Çanakkale.
Another coastal town is Urla, which is just a few hours from Izmir. Also a popular winemaking town, Urla is known to be a gastronomy destination in Turkey. Foodie couples would enjoy following the Urla wine route, tasting wines and staying at a romantic boutique hotel. For history buffs, the UNESCO Heritage Site Ephesus also close and not at all crowded around Valentine’s Day.
You can fly directly to Izmir and rent a car or take a bus to Urla.
Where to Go Wine Tasting in Turkey
Last but not least, an adventurer’s favourite: Fethiye. Antalya, Fethiye, Oludeniz and Kalkan are much more than just fancy resort destinations.
