1 💖Turkish Maldives: Salda Lake💖
In the south of the country, in the province of Burdur, a stunning landscape opens up to tourists - snow-white sand and crystal clear azure water of Lake Salda. The lake can be reached from Antalya in about two hours. The natural miracle is located among forests and mountains, so the air temperature here is always 7-10 degrees lower than on the coast.

The lake is of tectonic origin, in fact, a fault in a mountain plate. And sand is natural deposits of the mineral hydromagnesite. Along the coast you can find natural mud baths: white mud with a high magnesium content is good for the joints. So far, the area is not teeming with tourists, there are no five-star hotels here, only a campsite with a tent and a few cafes. Yes, you won’t stop for two weeks, but for a change, it’s perfect.

2 💖Thermal resorts and sanatoriums: 💖
Dalaman, Yalova, Pamukkale
Turkish health resorts are not yet very well known to Russian tourists, but are very popular among the Turks themselves. On the coast of the Aegean Sea, in the city of Dalaman, you can combine business with pleasure: treatment with vacations at sea. Here, mineral water and natural mud are used to treat neurology, stomach and heart diseases, relieve stress and chronic fatigue. You can stay in a sanatorium near the springs, or you can live in a hotel in the beach area and go for treatments.

3 💖Real Turkey: Istanbul💖
Among freelancers and remote workers, going to Istanbul for a month or two is a real trend in recent years. Rental prices here are reasonable, the Internet is stable and inexpensive, and the local flavor brightens up even boring Zoom meetings. There is more to Istanbul than it looks: you can hang out in central Beyoglu, work overlooking the sea and the ferries in Besiktas, and when you get bored, hide from the world in the Princes' Islands.
