Turkey is one of the most popular long-haul holiday destinations from Liverpool Airport, drawing visitors with its combination of warm Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines, rich history, excellent food and outstanding value. Flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport serve several Turkish airports, making Turkey one of the most accessible warm-weather destinations from the north-west of England.
About Turkey as a holiday destination
Turkey spans two continents — Europe and Asia — and offers an extraordinary range of experiences within a single country. The Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are lined with some of Europe's finest beaches, ancient ruins and charming harbour towns. Istanbul, straddling the Bosphorus, is one of the world's great cities. Inland, Cappadocia's volcanic landscape and cave hotels offer something entirely different.
The Turkish Riviera — stretching from Bodrum in the west to Antalya in the east — is the heartland of package and independent holidays from the UK. Resorts such as Marmaris, Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Side, Belek and Alanya offer everything from lively beach clubs to quiet coves and world-class golf.
Turkey's food culture is exceptional. Fresh seafood, slow-cooked meats, mezze, flatbreads and the famous Turkish breakfast make eating well effortless and affordable.
Turkish airports served from Liverpool
Several Turkish airports receive flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, depending on the season and airline:
Antalya (AYT) — the gateway to the eastern Turkish Riviera, serving resorts including Side, Belek, Alanya, Kemer and Antalya city itself. One of the busiest holiday airports in the Mediterranean.
Dalaman (DLM) — serves the western Turkish Riviera, including Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Marmaris, Göcek and Dalyan. Popular with those seeking a quieter, more scenic holiday.
Bodrum (BJV) — Milas-Bodrum Airport serves the Bodrum Peninsula, one of Turkey's most fashionable and upmarket coastal destinations, along with Turgutreis, Gümbet and Bitez.
Istanbul (SAW / IST) — Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side of Istanbul, and Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side, both serve the city. Istanbul is a year-round destination for city breaks, business travel and connections onward across Turkey and beyond.
