Whatever level of the game you reach and whenever you start, there's nothing quite like packing your bags, heading for the sun and hacking a golf ball around with some beers in tow. You've heard of golfing in the Algarve or even heading to the States, but Antalya, Turkey has quickly become the perfect destination for your golfing retreat and it's hard to imagine anything surpassing the riches on offer at Cullinan Belek.
Boasting two courses on their grounds - the Olympos and the Aspendos - the hotel has plenty of golf to explore in addition to a driving range, chipping and putting greens on top of golf lessons also available - which I learned I damn well need. The rooms are right by the action, backing up to their luscious greens on one side and the beach flanking another. Picturesque.
