My Vacation
I like spending my holidays actively. My favourite time for the vacation is summer because it’s warm and sunny. It’s a good time for the seaside holiday. This year together with my older sister we’ve been to Turkey. There are lots of beautiful cities and sights there but we chose to stay in a small village near Istanbul.
We were hosted by a nice family of my sister’s friend. Nature is very welcoming in this area and the sea is amazingly beautiful. There are many forests, meadows, rivers, lakes, mountains, vineyards, gardens and parks. What I really liked was that the mountains weren’t so high but they were picturesque. When you go up the mountains a marvelous view opens up. I also liked the view of vineyards stretched in neat rows and full of ripe grapes. The climate is mostly dry and hot. Morning and evening winds can get rather cold but afternoons are so hot that it’s almost impossible to walk barefoot.
