WHERE TO GO IN TURKEY

From the imperial grandeur of Istanbul and the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia to the ancient ruins of Ephesus and the turquoise waters of the Aegean coast, learn more about Turkey's highlights.

Istanbul

Straddling Europe and Asia, Istanbul is Turkey’s cultural heart and a city shaped by centuries of empire. Byzantine landmarks such as Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, and Chora Church reflect its early grandeur, while the Ottoman era left behind architectural masterpieces including Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, and Süleymaniye Mosque. More recent European influences can be seen in the elegant Dolmabahçe Palace and the lively Taksim district. Beyond its monuments, Istanbul captivates through its spice markets, grand bazaars, and the ever-present waters of the Bosphorus.

Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a striking landscape of sculpted rock formations, underground cities, and ancient heritage shaped by both nature and history. Its UNESCO-listed sites include the Open Air Museum, where churches carved into volcanic stone sit among the region’s iconic “fairy chimneys.” The area’s surreal valleys and lunar-like terrain are best appreciated from above on a private hot air balloon flight at sunrise. Alongside its remarkable scenery, Cappadocia remains a centre of living tradition, long associated with artisans, pottery, and craftsmanship.

Ephesus Region

Ephesus is one of the Mediterranean’s most significant archaeological sites and among the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. Once a thriving centre of commerce and culture, it offers an extraordinary glimpse into classical civilisation. Highlights include the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the remarkable Library of Celsus, whose grand façade remains an enduring symbol of Roman and Greek influence in the region.

Aegean Coast

Stretching along southwestern Turkey, the Aegean Coast is known for its crystalline waters, secluded coves, and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Often referred to as the Turkish Riviera, the region combines natural beauty with understated luxury. Elegant retreats such as Amanruya provide a peaceful setting overlooking the sea, while private gulet cruises reveal hidden bays and islands accessible only by water. With its slower pace and spectacular shoreline, the Aegean Coast offers an ideal counterpoint to Turkey’s historic cities.
