Turkey’s record-breaking tourism performance
The year 2025 marked a record-breaking achievement for Turkey’s tourism industry. The country welcomed as many as 64 million visitors. Polish travellers also contributed to this impressive figure, with more than 1.9 million arrivals. Turkey became the fourth most visited country in the world. The key drivers behind this success include the warm climate, an extensive flight network, and the value-for-money ratio of accommodation and tourist attractions.
Visitors are drawn to the many seaside resorts of the Turkish Riviera with their beautiful beaches and world-class hotels, such as Antalya, Marmaris, and Kemer. Istanbul offers landmarks spanning different eras and cultures, some of the world’s most iconic places of worship, and the Grand Bazaar, where virtually anything can be found. It is also worth visiting the ancient Ephesus, exploring the volcanic landscapes of Cappadocia, and admiring the beauty of the Pontic and Taurus Mountains. In Turkey, there is something for everyone.

MultiSport in Turkey – discover popular activities
Popular activities in Turkey can help you maintain your training routine or provide an interesting and relaxing addition to your stay. Examples of activities available with a MultiSport card in Turkey include:
-
Reformer Pilates – these classes use specialised mechanical platforms designed to support the movement patterns and positions typical of classical Pilates. Like traditional Pilates, these sessions help improve posture, mobility, and flexibility while also providing deep relaxation.
-
Fitness and gym – the MultiSport card allows you to continue your workout routine while travelling in Turkey. Simply use the search tool to find a gym or fitness club near your accommodation. The availability of specific types of equipment and classes should be checked independently.
-
Swimming pool – a visit to a swimming pool can be a pleasant addition to a city break in Istanbul or Ankara. With a MultiSport card, you can access both standard sports facilities and selected hotel wellness and spa complexes.
-
Cycling – would you like to continue your cardio training or are you missing cycling during your all-inclusive holiday? In that case, indoor cycling classes are sure to appeal to you. Taking on challenges together in a group while exercising to dynamic, rhythmic music provides plenty of fun.
-
Tennis – a visit to the tennis courts can be a pleasant addition to a trip with friends. Thanks to Turkey’s warm climate, most tennis courts available through the MultiSport Programme are outdoor facilities.
Turkey – try something new with the MultiSport card
If you are planning a visit to Turkey, you may also want to try activities that could spark your interest in new forms of active leisure:
Turkish Bath – when visiting Istanbul or Ankara, it is worth planning a relaxing session of sauna, massage, and bathing in a Turkish bath. This treatment is also known as a hammam ritual. Turkish baths have a rich history, and each venue offers its own unique atmosphere and interior design, making a visit to such a place a unique travel experience in itself.
Aerial Yoga (Hamak Yogası) – Aerial Yoga involves performing yoga poses while supported by specially designed hammocks suspended above the ground. Contrary to appearances, this form of yoga is particularly beginner-friendly, as the hammocks can help compensate for certain mobility limitations.
Airsoft – Airsoft shooting ranges can be found in larger Turkish cities. These are facilities where you can take on shooting-course challenges with your friends while having fun. This makes airsoft a great idea for a city break in Istanbul.
