(naturist optional)
thanks

Turkey is a no go insofar as naturism is concerned. Even topless is not recommended unless you are in a very touristed area like Marmaris, and even then you will probably get disapproval from the locals/other sanctimonious visitors. A look at the trip advisor forums would tell you. Despite it's much vaunting as a secular state it is still Muslim at the end of the day and about the same as Egypt on attitudes. Hypocritical yes, when they serve tourists alcohol etc but you have to live with it.
What did happen to that naturist hotel in Turkey that Peng had packages to a a couple of years back? I think it ran into a fair bit of bother, legally and otherwise and had to close or at least not to be naturist. Not sure if there are maybe a couple of gulet naturist cruises but they don't come cheap. I might have read once that the horrifically large Lykia World complex at Olu Deniz has a naturist area but I wouldn't take my word for it! Might have imagined it.

Brigitte is right, the beaches are a no go.
During our trip there a couple of years ago I did manage to find some areas inland from Icmeler in amongst the forest where nobody seemed to venture as they were too interested in the beaches and sports bars!!
So if you don't want the beach, its possible.

But hardly relaxing unfortunately.
If you went to Turkey, go for the history sights which are pretty good but don't expect naturism, other countries are far easier in this regard.

In Turkey, I swim naked in the night...
