Natural Wonders
A lot of countries have natural wonders, but Turkey is blessed with many that are extraordinary and a few that are truly unique. Two very famous gems of the country are the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and sparkling white terrace pools of Pamukkale. Lesser known but just as impressive are the Kaçkar Mountain, Lake Van and fascinating sites like Chimaera and the Caves of Heaven and Hell.
The Hammams
The traditional hammam is a heated, tiled room with a warm marble slab called göbek taşı (tummy stone). The hammam experience has become synonymous with Turkey and is surely a must do while visiting the country. Being scrubbed, massaged with aromatic oils and finally exfoliated with a cloud of soap foam is truly a spectacular way to unwind.
Shopping
Turkey is a mecca for shopaholics with its opulent avenues filled with historical bazaars and souks interspersed with new-age markets. Chic boutiques, open-air markets and Turkish bazaars make shopping in Turkey an absolute delight. A Shopaholic’s Dream Come True!
Turkish Locals
Turkish people are known for their profound hospitality and kind-heartedness. While in Turkey, you may receive a lot of invites for a delicious home cooked meal or at least a few cups of Turkish tea and something sweet. From the Kurds to the Turks and everyone in between, the people of Turkey are some of the kindest in the world.
Turkish Cuisine
With Middle Eastern, European and Asian influences, Turkey has some of the best food you will ever have! Every region of the country has its own unique kitchen culture, including distinct ingredients, recipes and flavours. The kebabs, shwarmas, soups, stews, pizza, breads and regional specialities are all so flavourful and delicious.
