Thursday, December 13th, 2007

The beaches and cities around Mediterranean Sea had been satisfying travelers for long. A huge number of people from the corners of the world travel this region every year. Let’s take a virtual tour to Turkey and Sicily today:

Holidays in Turkey
Attractions: Turkey lets you feel the vibrations of both Asian and European culture. That is the phrase goes best for Turkey. Due to its geographical location, Turkey belongs to both Asia and Europe. The Bosphorus channel puts a line between Asian and European part of Turkey.

Apart from a unique trait of culture, Turkey is also famous for its beaches, sunshine and water sport. Your holidays in Turkey would remain incomplete if you do not see the historical places like Side – the ancient harbour, Gulluk Dagi National Park, remains of King Mausolous’ tomb and many more.

Best time to Visit:
Travelers visit different parts of Turkey through out the year, however, spring and autumn are best felt in Turkey. With highly professional tourism industry, cheap holidays to Turkey become enjoyable and remarkable.

Holidays in Sicily
Attractions: Sicily is a part of Italy, some smaller Mediterranean islands are also considered to be parts of it. The island has a very uncommon geology. It is a mountain plateau, the highest peak Mount Etna is an active volcano.

Mountainous coasts, Massimo theatre, Cathedral of Palermo, Valley of the Temples etc. are worth visiting in Sicily. People visit Sicily for skiing on Mount Etna too.

Best time to Visit:
It’s good to be familiar with the weather of the place before you plan for holidays Sicily. The island becomes really hot during July through September. Added to that, a lot of people rush to spend holidays in Sicily during August which leads to over-crowded beaches and expensive stay. My opinion is to visit Sicily during October through November or, March through June is best. Those who would love to ski on Mount Etna, should come here during end of January.
