Things to do in Turkey

1. Istanbul 

Most tourists visit Turkey for Istanbul. After all, there are world-famous buildings such as Hagia Sophia and shopping hotspots such as the Grand Bazaar. In fact, because of its infamy, many people often mistake Istanbul for the capital of Turkey. Istanbul is located in both Europe and Asia. This is a well-known fact and often arouses the curiosity of most people. Istanbul boasts an eccentric fusion of two continents because of its unusual location.

 

2. Bosphorus Strait

Today, the strait connecting the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara was the Bosphorus Strait at that time. Currently, the Bosphorus Strait is flowing into the Bosphorus Strait. The Bosphorus Strait is known not only for its waterways but also for separating Istanbul in Europe and Istanbul in Asia. Ferries regularly traverse this strait to transport passengers to another continent in about 20 minutes.

 

3. Grand Bazaar

As the name implies, the Grand Bazaar is known as one of the largest markets in the world. In other words, we offer a wide range of products. There are more than 4,000 stores on the roof, and nearly 500,000 customers visit us every day. The Grand Bazaar, built in 1455 and, is also one of the oldest markets. Therefore, it is also a historic treasure of Turkey.

 

4. Spice Bazaar

In addition to the Grand Bazaar, the Spice Bazaar is also one of Turkey's most famous markets. As the name implies, this market sells spices, desserts, fruits and nuts, coffee and other souvenirs. Most of the tourists gather at the Spice Bazaar to buy Turkish food in grams.

8. Cappadocia

Today Turkey is also known as the Instagrammable country! There is no doubt that Cappadocia is a picture book city with cave houses and cobblestone streets. But the most popular is the hot-air balloons in Cappadocia. Floating at sunrise, it offers a breathtaking scene of vibrant and colourful planes against a backdrop of magnificent orange skies.

 

9. Mount Ararat

Many believe that Mount Ararat was the first mountain to appear (in the history of Noah's Ark) when the Flood receded. This means that the mountain is considered a sacred mountain by both Armenians and Christians, as it symbolizes one of the greatest miracles in history. The snow-capped Mount Ararat is 4,854 feet high, making it the tallest mountain in Turkey.

 

10. Seaside resort towns

In addition to cultural attractions, Turkey is also known for its beautiful seaside resorts such as Bodrum, Marmaris and Alaniya. These cities offer calm turquoise waters, fine sand and exciting nightlife. Whether you're interested in a luxury hideaway with a golf course or a five-star resort, or a quiet fishing village with friendly locals, Turkey definitely has a seaside resort.

 

11. Turkish tea

Serving tea is common etiquette in Turkey. Whether you're visiting a local home or a gift shop, tea is waiting for you. Turkish tea is usually served in a small glass in a picturesque saucer with sweets such as Qurabiya (biscuits) and Turkish delight.

 

12. Turkish coffee

The Turks have a very special way of their coffee: they use only finely ground beans and cook the mixture in a sezube (small pot) until it foams. If necessary, add sugar during cooking. After brewing, coffee is poured into Kahve Finjanı, a small espresso-sized porcelain cup.

13. Baklava

How do you perceive traditional Turkish baklava in a variety of sweet layered pastries? Look for works with a pale yellow-green coat of arms. This colour comes from pistachios, the original Turkish interpretation of desserts like syrup.

 

14. Iskender Kebab

Iskender Kebab is named after Iskender Effendi, who invented the recipe in the late 19th century. Today, it is one of the most popular dishes in northwestern Turkey. Iskender kebabs are undoubtedly superior to other kebabs and consist of soft lamb, warm flatbread, spicy tomato sauce and flavorful yoghurt. Waiters usually serve this hearty meal warmly. Then pour as much melted butter on it as you wish.

 

15. Goreme National Park

Turkey is home to a vibrant landscape. One of them is in Goreme National Park. This place is best explored on foot. The formation of beautiful sedimentary rocks resulting from the volcanic deposits of Cappadocia gives this place a unique feature. Goreme National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cappadocia offers the most unusual sights of underground cities and rock-cut churches. The dazzling lunar landscape of Cappadocia makes a visit one of the best in Turkey.

 

16. Dervish

Dervish is a Sufi spiritual ritual in which people dance to music dedicated to the Almighty. This includes a spiritual practice called Sama and Dhikr, which was started by St. Rumi of the Sufis in the 13th century. These include soothing songs, playing musical instruments, dancing, and heartfelt poetry aimed at spiritual uplifting. The swirling movement of a Sufi dancer in a living robe against the backdrop of soothing spiritual music is one of the most soul-polishing experiences you can imagine.
