The Aegean Coast region

The Aegean region of Turkey is a mixture of modern and traditional lifestyle. There are large modern cities such as Izmir and Aydin through to small old fashioned villages. A large proportion of the land is for farming so the area remains undamaged by industry.

The regions climate is superb - warm and pleasant for most of the year, but it also has a high oxygen ratio and low humidity rate, making it very advantageous to one’s health. Turkish doctors often refer patients with chest conditions to come to Didim for convalescence. Asthma sufferers and those with bronchitis will feel the benefits almost immediately.
