Turkey
Don’t miss out on the snorkelling action when taking one of the great coastal boat trips - my top tip for Turkey is to visit your optician before you go and invest around £30 on a supply of disposable contact lenses. I did, although I hadn’t worn lenses for 30 years - instead of the usual frustration of blobby, indistinct shapes the undersea world opened up and for the first time in years I was able to follow fish that I could actually see. I used the lenses every day – the best value £30 I spent on that holiday.

The Lycian coast of Turkey has many jewels: choose from Kalkan, Kas, Gocek or Fethiye. Beautiful villas and apartments at very reasonable prices, frequent scheduled and charter flights, extremely friendly, hospitable and humorous people, roof terrace restaurants offering local delicacies or international cuisine, fabulous swimming and water sports at stunning locations and the longest and best sandy beach in Europe within easy reach. And there are inland excursions and activities and a 20 mile gorge to explore, for the more energetic. The combination is unbeatable and offers exceptional value for a family holiday - just do a little research on the internet!
