Where is the best place to holiday in turkey?
Im looking to go late october and i want to go somewhere warm, and without much rain. I want to be able to sightsee and be close to the sea. As a muslim i dont really want to wear revealing swim wear but i dont want to be the odd one out by being covered so i just need to know whether its usual to find fully covered women at the beach and swimming in the sea.

I went to Kushadasi and it was amazing.
Its in the asia side of Turkey near the Aegean sea, and the people and sites are amazing...
I 100% recommend you research the place
I loved it there
Turkey is not very safe right now.
Watch the world news.
I went to Antalya, to Konyaalti beach in July. And it was wonderful! There are many public beaches so many local people come there too, and we saw many muslim women swimming there in clothes.
SIDE or OEY DENIZ are lovely.. Turkey is great.. if you want to wear swimsuit, wear it.. only cover up for resturant meals or religious places of interest.
I went to Bodrum, its next to the sea. It has a brilliant castle, lots of shops and restaurants. Don't worry about what swim wear you wear. Who cares?
Well I would not holiday there at the moment, I think you should avoid Turkey. ( then again maybe I am just chicken ).
Hi I am from Turkey. First of all there is no such safety issues in Turkey. We don't turn around and kill Americans or something. Your odds of getting hurt there is less than USA.
Kusadasi is a great place. My mom lives there. Very welcoming. It is no problem to be covered or open in Turkey. People are very understanding. No pressure.
I love EFES which is in Izmir. A lot of history if you are interested in.
Bodrum is great also. It is in Mugla.
I can help you decide, there is too many places to list. You can contact me if you would like.
Kushadasi..I arrived there in 1993 on a cruise ship..I liked the people and felt safe and although I have only been to Istanbul, Izmir before...and nowhere else in Turkey..I really liked this smaller city and would love to return there..Have anice time.sorry, I cant comment on the beaches and swimwear..but its quite differerent from Greece. Nice to see someone concerned for her modesty..that is rare now.

The south coast is quite touristy. You´ll find the resorts dominated largely by Europeans, often German, so the beachwear is quite revealing. It would feel a bit odd to be fully covered among them.
There are interesting classical sites along the south coast and on the Aegean coast~in fact you wont be far from such sites anywhere in Turkey.
You might try Fethiye. I went to Side once and it was mobbed and not really that nice.
Turks often go to resorts on the Black sea, but it is much harder to get there, and to the far eastern mediteranean, near Syria.
