They will also be able to reach the city of Antalaya during a longer escapade in the waters of Turkey.

Due to its advantageous geographical situation, the bay of Bodrum offers magnificent scuba diving sessions in its turquoise water along vast stretches of white sand.

Nicknamed the 'Turkish Riviera', Antalya was founded by the King of Pergamon in 150 B.C. It was successively coveted and populated by the Romans and the Byzantines before falling into the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the 13th century. Thus, it has been considered a landmark of the eastern Mediterranean since time immemorial.

For a lazy session during your honeymoon, head to the sunny beaches of Bodrum where palm, orange and mandarin trees stand on the pristine sand, perfuming the coastline with their delicious scents.

If you're more in the nature traveller's spirit, head to the beach at Bitez. It is very authentic, full of vegetation and traditional habitats and is much less touristy than the other beaches around.
