This is a serious resort on the coast of Aegean Sea but this time in #turkey and exactly at the small town of Selcuk. Plenty of tourists spends their summer vacation in this region. The whole area on the Aegean sea of Turkey is famous with its so-called all-inclusive tourism. I managed to spent my New year's Eve here so my stay was out of season but it was still amazing.
