Top Things to Do in Turkey
Istanbul
Without a doubt the hottest city right now and for good reason. You have the the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya, and Grand Bazaar just to name a few.
Cappadocia
The second most visited location in Turkey. Martian landscapes abound, cave cities, underground villages, rock churches and freaky natural landscapes await the visitor for a truly incredible visit. Take a hot air balloon ride over this out of this world landscape.
Ayvalik
Charming little town on Aegean Sea off the beaten track for most visitors.
Fethiye
Demarcation point for Blue Cruises; 3 day cruises from Fethiye to Olympus. 20 km lies Turkey’s most famous beach, Oludeniz (dead sea).
Black Sea Coast
Trabzon, Samsun and other small fishing villages line the coast that sports lush green vallies and Seattle-esque weather year round.
Ankara
Turkey’s capital and financial center. Ataturk National museum is here. Ataturk(father of the Turks) founded the new sectarian gov’t in Turkey in 1923 and is a bit of a God here.
Antalya
Largest city on the Southern coast that besides boasting several Starbucks, also has an immaculate old town great for summer exploring.
Izmir/Selcuk/Ephesus
The ruins of Efes in the town of Selcuk are awe inspiring. See the facade of the still intact library and communal toilets.
Cannakale/Galipoli
Site of several famous WWI battles. Charming town where the Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara meet. From these battles, modern Turkey was born.
Turkish Riveria
Turkey’s hot and fabulous coast. From Kalkan to Kas to cities in between. If the crystal blue water or the perpertually sunny skies don’t hook you, the rooms for less than $40 a night will.
