Exploring the Area

Adventures

Adventure beckons at every corner in Turkey. Go hot air ballooning over the magical landscapes of Cappadocia, hike the rugged terrain of Mount Ararat, dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea, or take a thrilling jeep safari in the Taurus Mountains.

Eating and Drinking

Turkish cuisine is a feast for the senses. Enjoy the rich flavors of a traditional kebab, try the unique taste of baklava, or sample the variety of meze (appetizers). Turkish tea and coffee are must-tries, and for a local dining experience, visit a traditional lokanta (restaurant).

What to See and Do

Turkey is home to numerous historical and cultural attractions. Visit the iconic Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque in Istanbul, explore the ancient city of Troy, or bathe in the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience a traditional Turkish bath or to shop at the Grand Bazaar, one of the oldest and largest markets in the world.

Where to Stay

Accommodation in Turkey caters to a variety of preferences and budgets. Choose from luxury hotels overlooking the Bosphorus in Istanbul, unique cave hotels in Cappadocia, beachfront resorts in Antalya, or budget-friendly guesthouses in the coastal town of Fethiye.

How to Get Around

Turkey boasts a well-connected transport network. Domestic flights, long-distance buses, and trains link major cities, while taxis, dolmuş (shared taxis), and metro systems are available in cities for shorter distances. Car rentals are also a good option for those wishing to explore at their own pace.
