Turkey offers travelers a variety of destinations. From the dome and minaret-filled Istanbul skyline to Roman ruins along the west and south coasts, Antalya beaches and Mediterranean seaside resorts, to the misty mountains of the eastern Black Sea. With so many great destinations, the top 10 should skip some of Turkey's great attractions. Think of this list of destinations as just the beginning of a great vacation in Turkey.

 

1. Hagia Sophia Mosque

Known as one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, the fascinating Byzantine magnificence of the Hagia Sophia (Ayasofia) is one of the top tourist attractions not only in Istanbul but also in Turkey. The cave-like frescoed interior, built on 537u by Byzantine Emperor Justinian, is reminiscent of the power and power of ancient Constantinople.

 

2. Ephesus

One of the most complete and well-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean is a place to experience what life was like in the golden age of the Roman Empire. Houses and great theaters all show wealth and importance. Sightseeing tours here take at least half a day to cover the main highlights. If you really want to explore, plan your visit so you don’t feel like you’re in a hurry.

 

3. Cappadocia

The surreal and winding rocky valley of Cappadocia is a photographer’s dream. Cliff ridges and hilltop ridges have a crazy spire shaped by thousands of years of wind and water movements, including rippling panoramas of rippling rocks and scenic hikes. This is one of the most popular in the world. Travel destinations Embedded in this unique lunar landscape are frescoed rock-cut churches and Byzantine-era cave architecture, where the area was home to the Christian community of monasteries.

 

4. Topkapı Palace

Incredibly wonderful, Istanbul's Topkapı Palace takes you to the fantastic and luxurious world of the Sultan. The decadent luxury tiles and luxuriously decorated interiors provide an unforgettable look at the power base of the Ottoman Empire. Weapon collection exhibited at the Imperial Treasury. A world-class collection of miniature paintings. A dazzling harem room designed by the famous Ottoman architect Sinan.

 

5. Pamukkale

One of Turkey's most famous natural wonders, the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale (English for "cotton castle") roll down the slopes like an unnatural snowfield in the middle of a green landscape. .. Travertine itself is the highlight of a trip to Turkey, but the huge and vast archaeological sites of the ancient hot spring town of Pamukkale, Greece, are scattered on this calcite hill. After exploring the ancient theater while admiring the scenery, you can swim in the ancient pool of the mineral-rich sea that made this ancient hot spring town famous, as Agora, the town gym, the necropolis, and the large gates remain.

 

6. Antalya

In the heart of this bustling Mediterranean, there is something that everyone can enjoy. Two major beaches outside the city are summer sun paradises, attracting vacationers from all over Europe. The old town, lined with Ottoman mansions with cobbled streets, is a great place to explore. The Antalya Museum is known as one of the best museums in the country, with a magnificent collection of Hellenistic and Roman marble statues. For travelers wishing to base in Antalya, there are many attractions outside the city.

 

 

7. Cruising the Mediterranean

Turkey’s Mediterranean coast has a lot of ruins and lots to do, but for many it’s all about sunbathing and stunning views of the coastline. Cruising on a yacht is the most popular activity for visitors to Bodrum and Fethiye for good reason. Rugged forested slopes, hidden coves with small white sands, and hundreds of islands are perfect places to explore from the ocean. Even stubborn landslides will be impressed.

 

8. Mount Nemrut

The burial mound at the top of Mount Nemrut, one of the most popular tourist attractions in eastern Turkey, is littered with broken ruins of the ancient mammoth statue that protected it. This strange and lonely place must be one of Turkey’s most unique archaeological sites. The giant stone heads of the long-forgotten gods gaze from the top, casting an eerie atmosphere on the barren peaks. The construction of the summit is the work of Antiochus I, the ruler of the Kingdom of Commagene, here in the buffer zone between the Roman and Parthian Empires.

 

9. Aspendos

South of the hot spring town of Antalya, the breathtaking mass of the Aspendos Theater in Rome celebrates the glitz and rituals of Marcus Aurelius’ reign. The 15,000-seat theater is one of the major attractions of the ancient world. Although the theater is the main reason to visit here (and for most visitors on a half-day trip from nearby Antalya or the side, the theater is everything they see), the Aspendos site has far more archaeological sites to explore. Provide. There are waterways, agora, stadiums and ruins of Byzantine cathedral, all scattered on the wide rolling hills that surround the theater.

 

10. Patara

With such a long Mediterranean coastline, Turkey has beaches for all who worship the sun, but Patara is one of the most famous sandy beaches. The beach has a large space of more than 18km along the coast, so you can find a quiet place far from the crowd even in the middle of summer. Just behind the sand is the huge ruins of ancient Patara. It belongs to Colonnade Street and the restored Bruterion (city council). , And a theater with 5,000 seats. When you're tired of the sun, sand and swimming, hike behind the dunes to explore the crumbling ruins of this once prosperous city of Lycia.

 

11. Pergamum

Turkey has an abundance of Greco-Roman ruins, but none can be so romantically placed as ancient Pergamum in modern-day Bergama. Once home to one of the ancient world’s most important libraries (which rivaled Alexandria’s library in prominence) and home to the famed medical school run by Galen, Pergamum’s remaining temple remnants now preside dramatically across a hilltop. It’s an incredibly atmospheric place to explore. The Acropolis area with its theater cut into the hillside holds the most remains and offers sweeping panoramic views across the countryside.
