To be able to lose yourself in the breathtakingly stunning scenery while also ensuring that it’s not too heavy on your pocket is something that not many destinations can promise. Turkey, however, is much kinder to travelers in this department and so much more.
Here are the must-have elements you should look for in Turkey travel deals:
Immersed in 2500 years of history, Istanbul is as much a symbol of a fast-paced and dynamic lifestyle as it is a poignant figure of culture and gripping landscapes. Our Turkey vacation packages include a boat ride on the Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea. The ride lets you lay eyes on the 15 July Martyrs Bridge, Ottoman waterfront mansions, Byzantine palaces, and the fishing village of Anadolu Kavagi.
Visit the Hagia Sophia, a significant monument for both the Ottoman and Byzantine empires. It was originally a church, which later became a mosque and then a museum, and is now a mosque again. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the finest monuments of architecture from the Byzantine era.
Tourists should definitely take advantage of the pampering session offers at a Turkish bath. Known as hammams, this Turkish tradition has been around since the 16th century, and the entire experience leaves you refreshed and rejuvenated.
Almost no trip can be completed without some retail therapy, right? Hence, our Turkey tour packages include a visit to the Grand Bazaar, which is hailed as one of the world’s largest and oldest covered markets. Spread over 30,700 square meters, the bazaar consists of 4000 stores that sell textiles, jewelry, leather, and antiques.
Located in central Turkey, Cappadocia is a region filled with rock churches, Byzantine art, and fairy chimneys. The Rock Sites of Cappadocia and the Goreme National Park became a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1985. Go on a hot air balloon ride that offers such a spectacular view of the sunrise that can’t be justified through photographs or Instagram posts. The ride will give you an astonishing view of vineyards, orchards, and pigeon houses.
Tourists can choose between standard rides, deluxe rides, or private rides as per their preference. Relish breakfast buffets, sip on champagne, and complete an activity that you will remember for lifetimes to come.
Pamukkale, which translates to ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish, is situated in western Turkey and is a natural spa with mineral-rich thermal waters gliding down travertine terraces on a hillside nearby. With 17 hot springs that are perfect for swimming and a small mud basin that’s said to have healing qualities, tourists can take in the Pamukkale Natural Park located below the thermal pools. You can also take a walk up the travertines, which are carved rocks or mountains that are enveloped with white minerals.
We’ve all heard of Cleopatra’s beauty and intellect, and being in Turkey enables you to swim in Cleopatra’s Pool or the Pamukkale Antique Pool, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The pool is filled with champagne water or water that is rich in minerals.
Hierapolis, famed as the Holy City, is an ancient Greek city that one finds next to Pamukkale. Dating back to the Hellenistic Period, its spellbinding ruins have not only made it a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also a spot that tourists flock over to whenever they are in Turkey.
Ephesus is regarded as one of the world’s biggest and most impressive ancient cities. If you choose our Turkey travel deals, you get to marvel at the many sites this ancient city has to offer, including the Great Theater, the Temple of Artemis, and the Library of Celsus. One must also visit the House of the Virgin Mary, which is said to have been the place where the Virgin Mary spent the last few days of her life.
Antalya is Turkey’s fifth-most populous city and is responsible for a major part of the country’s tourism due to its beaches, historical prominence, and visual beauty. By embarking on an Antalya boat cruise, tourists can watch the picturesque coastline, visit the Duden Waterfalls, swim in the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and gorge on a scrumptious and traditional Turkish dinner before bidding farewell to the night.
Putting together a holiday can often be a very stressful and arduous task. After all, there are so many things to take care of, such as the hotels, commutes, visas, and so on.
