Packing Guide to Alanya Hotels and Other Delights in Turkey
Turkey is a fun destination for all the family, with a Mediterranean climate and abundance of archaeological sites. From romantic city breaks in Istanbul, to family holidays in one of the beachfront Alanya hotels, this definitive guide to packing will ensure you've got everything you need.
When visiting religious sites certain rules apply, although the dress code in Turkey hotels is far more relaxed than in other countries like Iran. If you're planning a trip to a mosque, such as Istanbul's famous Blue Mosque, you are expected to cover up, so packing trousers and long shirts is recommended. Women should also remember to take scarves and shawls to conceal their heads, arms and shoulders.
You may find yourself enjoying a number of excursions during your time in Turkey, as there is an abundance of historical sites. Be sure to remember to wear loose-fitting clothing during your trip, whether it's Ankara's Roman ruins or Ionia's Temple of Diana in Ephesus you're visiting. Light, cotton clothing are essential, as you'll want to stay cool on long days away from your hotels.
With a climate as mixed as its geographical conditions, Turkey's temperatures can vary dramatically. On the whole though, the Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean coasts boast hot summers and mild, wet winters, similar to the Mediterranean.
Essential items to pack are a high factor sun protection and a soothing aftersun, especially when travelling with kids. As kids are in and out of the pool and sea, a waterproof variety is important. Be sure to stash a selection of games and books in the case for a rainy day or to make sure the airplane journey passes quickly.
If you're planning on buying presents for those back home, be sure to leave some space in your suitcase. Plan ahead so you're not caught out by excess baggage fees, whether you're bringing back gift shop trinkets or ceramics or leather and jewellery from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar.
