AYDIN (AA) – Foreign tourists in Didim along Turkey’s picturesque Aegean coast urged others to visit as well, praising Turkey’s nature, sea, and people.
“The atmosphere in the Aegean is wonderful, the people are wonderful. It's very pleasant here. Turks are sincere and friendly,” said Liam Connor, a British tourist, on Saturday.
“They have to come and see the beauty in Turkey. The service at hotels is great.”
Didim hosts hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists with its famous 1,600-meter beach and cultural attractions, including the ancient city of Miletus and Temple of Apollo.
Didim is known locally as “Little England” as many Brits buy houses and stay in the town permanently. Some half a million people visit Didim every summer, including one-day trips.
Tourists at all-inclusive or boutique hotels enjoy fun holidays thanks to the town’s nature and beautiful sea and the local hospitality.
“Don’t hesitate to come to Turkey for holidays,” said Teodora Grozdanova, visiting from Bulgaria.
Praising Turkey’s weather, people and food from past visits to Kusadasi and Bodrum, he said: “I like Turkey a lot. These are perfect places, almost like a little piece of heaven.”
“Perfect nature, great people. Turkey is a great country,” said Trudie White, an American tourist.
“This is my first time here, and I’ll definitely come again.” * Dilan Pamuk contributed to this story from Ankara.
