Istanbul was once the capital for the Roman, Byzantium and Ottoman Empires, today it remains the largest city in Turkey. A mixture of classic architecture and modern design work seamlessly to create a superb design. The Bosphorus splits the city with half in Europe and Half in Asia with influences from both sides it makes Istanbul a must-see city.
Cappadocia is another must-see destination in Turkey. In an extraordinary meeting of natures artistic splendour and human kinds
resourcefulness, Cappadocia is one of those rare places that must be
experienced at least 1 in a lifetime. With its soaring rock formations,
uniquely rippled landscapes, splendid walking trails, mysterious underground
cities, and rock-cut churches, Cappadocia is a must-see destination in Turkey.
An unforgettable way to tour Cappadocia is by Hot air balloon, the spectacular
surrealistic landscaped combined with favourable flying conditions allow the
balloons to drift gently over and between fairy chimneys. You will float above
the pigeon houses in the unique rock formations, orchards and vineyards,
through impressive valleys each with distinctive rock formations, colours and
features, and then float up over ravines for breathtaking views over the
region. Cappadocia is in Eastern Anatolia in the centre of Turkey.
Pamukkale literally
translates to ‘Cotton Castle’ and became
a UNESCO world heritage site along with the nearby ancient city of Hierapolis
in 1988. Situated in south-east Turkey, the Hierapolis-Pamukkale park is
exceptional by virtue of its superlative natural phenomenon. Warm, heavily
mineralized water flowing from springs creating pools and terraces which are
visually stunning, Pamukkale natural park is the focal point for the natural
values of the site. It's surrounded area is mildly cultivated land with a mix
of crops, pasture and some forest. Villages in the immediate are impressed. The
hot springs and travertine terraces surrounding the area used to be frequented
by kings and emperors due to the healing properties ascribed to
the waters. The thermal water maintains
a relatively constant temperature of about 35 degrees Celsius so that a dip in
the middle of November is not out of the question. Near to the natural sight
are the ruins of the Roman town of Hierapolis, the history of which followed
the same course as many Hellenistic cities in Asia minor. The Romans acquired
full control of it in 129 BCE, and it prospered under its new rulers. Usually
said to be founded by the King of Pergamon, Hierapolis may have actually been
established in the 4th century BC by the Seleucid Kings. The name of the city
may derive from Hera, the wife of the son of Hercules, and grandson of Zeus,
the mythical founder of Pergamon. It may have been called the sacred city
because of the temples located at the site. It was destroyed by an earthquake
but rebuilt in the year 60 AD. Famous natives of Hierapolis include the stoic
philosopher Epictetus (65-135 AD), and the philosopher Antipater of Troy.
Blue cruises take in the stunning Turkish
Turquoise coast. Beginning in Fethiye the cruise will see your journey to
Oludeniz where you can enjoy the view from above while paragliding. The town of
Kas welcomes passengers the next day followed by the sunken city of Kekova,
after the ruins in the region you will finish in Olympos. At Olympos, you can
explore the ancient city, chimaera flame or the quiet beach. Why not take a
cruise and continue your 15-day trip by continuing on to Cappadocia, Istanbul
or even east Turkey?
