Hotels in Aegean Region, Turkey

The Aegean Region in western Turkey is famous for its ancient Greek and Roman ruins like Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis, plus turquoise bays along the Aegean Sea. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers (averaging 90°F/32°C) perfect for windsurfing in Çeşme or sailing between the pristine islands, and mild winters (around 55°F/13°C) ideal for hiking the Lycian Way or sampling olive oil in Ayvalık's old stone houses. You can visit the rock tombs of Dalyan in March when wildflowers bloom, or snorkel at İztuzu Beach in August when the sea hits 75°F/24°C.
