• Cappadocia
• Ankara
• Beypazari
• Trabzon
• Cesme
• Oludeniz
• Antalya

Cappadocia

In Cappadocia, I would recommend staying at least two nights, on the first morning take a hot air balloon ride and on the second morning go out at sunrise and watch the hot air balloons.

Ankara

The capital city in Turkey is Ankara, and while there is not much to do there you can make a stop and visit Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (the founder of Turkey).

Istanbul

Istanbul is one of my favourite cities that I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. This city is completely different from any European city that you will see. The history, culture and diversity of this city is truly something amazing and I cannot recommend enough that you visit here. In Istanbul, you must visit the dolmabahce, topkapi palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, the Maiden’s Tower, Cistern Basilica, Istanbul Modern, Galata Tower and Fener Balat. There are countless things to do in Istanbul. Throughout Turkey there are many other activities to do and food to try.

Oludeniz

 If you are able to go on a paragliding ride, I would suggest going to Oludeniz. Main attractions in Turkey are also Ephesus, ancient Greek ruins in western Turkey, and Pamukkale, travertine deposits which create a beautiful walkway, pools and clay that people use as body masks.

Overall, Turkey will forever be one of my favourite places and I believe that everyone should make the time to visit this wonderful country.
