Turkey has achieved impressive results in the field of tourism, introducing the world to new formats of recreation, namely: all inclusive club hotels. There are many restaurants, pool bars, noisy parties and fiery dances. Mostly Europeans (Germans, Scandinavians, British) rest here, as well as Ukrainians and Russians.
Turkey attracts Russians with its geographical proximity, quality of service, cheapness, and the absence of a visa requirement. Even the Turks deal with the language barrier quite quickly. The best hotels in the world are in Turkey!
It is also a historical region. There are no less attractions than in Europe: ancient cities, hot springs, ruins of castles and, of course, magnificent nature with mountains and endless beaches.
