5. Istanbul

Istanbul, Turkey is the only city located on two continents – Europe and Asia, separated only by a bridge. In addition to rich history, and abundance of monuments and attraction for which this city is widely known in the world, perhaps it is less known that Istanbul has beautiful beaches making it one of the top world destinations for summer holidays.

In the northern part of the city there is a lot of wild beaches rich in conifer forests where there are no big crowds. However if you are not seeking solitude, but rather fun and attractions, you should visit some of the most famous beaches in Istanbul like Solar Beach, Seanergy Beach, Burç Beach, Dalia Beach etc. It is city which has lot to offer and you should definitely consider it.
