Coveted by empires across the centuries, straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul is one of many world's great metropolises an you are able to begin to discover with Hotelbye . The city was officially called Istanbul following the founding of the Turkish Republic and is liberally dispersed with fantastic remnants of their extended and illustrious history, and the sightseeing here will impress also probably the most monument-weary visitor. The mosque Sultan Ahmet, also known as the Blue Mosque isone of the one thing should see in Istanbul. Blue Mosque was developed between 1609 and 1616 and it triggered a furore through the entire Muslim world when it had been finished because it had six minarets. The mosque gets their handle from their interior decoration of countless amounts of İznik tiles. The entire spatial and shade aftereffect of the inner make the mosque one of many best achievements of Ottoman architecture and a place worth visit.

I really liked Dalyan.
It's on a river with Lycian tombs in the cliffs above it. You take a short boat trip to the sea each day watching kingfishers flying around you. The beach is a turtle nesting ground. You can also take a boat trip the other way up the river to a big lake and there's also plenty of archaeology around if you don't like lying on a beach all the time. If you are adventurous you can take a canoeing trip and watch the turtles plop into the river either side of you as you go by.
We loved this place.

So many possibilities,
I assume you mean more quiet places.
I am listing the places along the coats in order of distance with respect to Istanbul (because you must also stay in Sultanahmet/Istanbul for a few days first) Yalova, Erdek, Assos (less touristy places in the north) Altinkum, Turgut Reis (Bodrum) Dalyan, Oludeniz (Fethiye) Kas, Side, Alanya...
Why don't you ask recommendation of a local travel agent:

It totally depends on what your goal of the visit is. Most of the 4* + hotels have nice spa's and massage places, like the local hamam. Some of those hotels are not in a very busy city,but are more for relaxing. The old town of Istanbul is very nice and so is Izmir.
There you can book luxurious hotels, but also just bed and breakfast, so you can try local Turkish dishes, which I do recommend, unless you hate garlic.

Well every tourist visits Turkey's South and West Coasts.They go to Antalya,Mugla,Istanbul...But there are many other options.For example I advise you to go on a tour in Black Sea Region of Turkey.You will see the greenest places on earth,unbelievably beatiful valleys,huge forests,gigantic mountains and etc...The weather is cool especially if you dont want to be burned in very high temperatures in South.Make a search in the internet,call your travel agency,see a few pictures and you will see what i mean..

My grandparents have been visiting the town of Marmaris for about 6 years. They go every May and October. Me and my mum started to go over there about 4 years ago, and my mum loved it so much she now lives out there!!! She's lived there for 3 years now, and she is 49. Marmaris is right at the bottom of turkey and is Beautiful. If you consider it and would like to know of hotels suitable for your needs, please E-mail me and I would be glad to ask my mums recommendations.

There are plenty of places. It depends on your interests and your budget. I would suggest contacting a tour operator. One I have used many times in the past is www.tourkey.org
