Turkey tour destinations
Turkey is a fascinating country with incredibly hospitable people, amazing cuisine, diverse landscapes and lots to see and do. But few people are truly aware of just how much it has to offer let alone exactly where to go, other than its most famous city of Istanbul. If you’re planning to visit Turkey consider some of these especially amazing places to visit for your itinerary.
Göreme
The town of Göreme lies in the region of Cappadocia, set among stunning “fairy chimney” rock formations. Hundreds of the astounding formations rise from the ground, and are interspersed with the villages and homes. What makes them especially unique, its that some have been transformed into magnificently decorated churches, with homes and underground cities throughout the region. Göreme also houses some of the most stunning structures in a complex of churches and monasteries known as the Göreme Open Air Museum. This area is also renowned as the place to go for one of the most breathtaking hot air balloon rides in the world. If you go up, you can enjoy an amazing bird’s eye view of the landscape, or watching from the ground, you may see dozens of colorful hot air balloons fill the sky.
Amasya
Located in northern Turkey, the small city of Amasya boasts one of the most dramatic settings in the world,
sitting in a narrow valley along the Yeşilırmak river against a backdrop of jagged mountains. On one side of the water, there are dozens of classical Ottoman buildings accentuated with dark brown wood and ivory contrasts that jut above it, and above them, are sharp cliffs home to a castle and ancient tombs. While the other side of the river is more modern, it still has lots of character, with a river walk lined with bronze statues of famous people from Amasya’s history, as well as paddleboat eateries.
This is the very spot where one of the most famous tales of Turkish folklore was set, Ferhat and Sirin. A legend says that Ferhat was in love with Şirin, a beautiful princess, and dug tunnels underneath the mountains to bring water to her father’s palace so he could win his favor. When you step foot into this town, you’ll quickly see how this romantic tale could have taken place.
The little village of Uzungöl is situated on the edge of a beautiful lake with the same name, at the bottom of a lush, green valley in the mountains about an hour from the city of Trabzon. One of Turkey’s most unique places to visit, it’s a striking contrast from the typical image of the country, that’s often seen as a solely coastal, Medterranean nation. Here, you’ll see traditional Turkish homes among the Swiss-like views, as well as soaring minarets of a mosque. If you want to stay a while, you’ll find a number of accommodations in the Uzungöl Highlands. If you can, try to be here in the early morning, when a soft mist envelops the surroundings creating an especially surreal sight.
Çatalhöyük
Çatalhöyük was a very large Neolithic and Chalcolithic proto-city settlement that existed from about 7500 BC to 5700 BC, and was at its peak around 7000 BC. It’s believed to be among the world’s oldest human communities, and as experts are still digging, what you’ll see can change dramatically from year-to-year. You can visit with an easy day trip from Konya; the site is open daily and there is no admission fee. Start with the museum, where you’ll see many artifacts from the site, and visit the recreated house near the site’s entrance.
