Turkey is an increasingly popular winter sports destination, offering excellent skiing and snowboarding at nearly a dozen different ski resorts. Erzurum, in northeast Turkey, is one of the top destinations and has been selected as the host for the 2011 Universiade University Winter Games, a tribute to its excellent conditions the quality of its facilities, which include 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels from top local and international hotel brands. At ski resorts across Turkey, facilities are good, standards of accommodation are high and its snow record is excellent. One of the most unique of Turkey’s winter sports offerings is, surprisingly, Antalya, where the Saklikent Ski Resort has snow year-round, making it possible to ski in the morning and then spend the afternoon basking on a sun-kissed beach!
