Top Turkey Tourist Attractions

Impressive architecture, historic sites, dining, shopping, nightlife and an exotic atmosphere all make Turkey one of the world's top tourist destinations. Here is a list of must-to-visit attractions in Turkey:

Hagia Sophia

Hagia Sophia, with its innovative architecture, rich history, religious significance and extraordinary characteristics has been fighting against time for centuries.

Constructed three times in the same location, it is the world’s oldest and fastest-completed mosque. With its breathtaking domes that look like hanging in the air, monolithic marble columns and unparalleled mosaics, it is one of the wonders of the world’s architectural history.

The sheer dazzling beauty of the mosque with its magnificent play on space, light, and colour provokes worship in the believer!

Hagia Sophia poses on the ground of the first hill of Istanbul, precisely at the tip of the historic peninsula, surrounded by the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn on three sides.

Ephesus

Ancient Ephesus is located close to the present-day city of Selcuk in Turkey's Central Aegean area. The archaeologically confirmed ruins of this site span century of history, from ancient Greece through the Roman Empire, when it served as the principal trade hub of the Mediterranean, to the spread of Christianity. Paved streets crisscross colossal ruins, spas, and squares. For Emperor Hadrian's visit, the Temple of Hadrian was constructed before the year 138 AD.

Cappadocia

The characteristic "fairy chimneys" of Cappadocia, a semi-arid region in central Turkey, are towering, cone-shaped rock formations that are grouped in places like Monks Valley and Goreme.

Other noteworthy locations include Bronze Age dwellings cut into valley walls by troglodytes (cave dwellers), which early Christians subsequently exploited as safe havens. Numerous rock-face churches can be found in the 100-meter-deep Ihlara Canyon.

Pamukkale

The mineral-rich thermal waters that flow down white travertine terraces on a nearby hillside are what make Pamukkale, a town in western Turkey, famous.

It is close to Hierapolis, a former Roman spa town built in 190 B.C. A well-preserved theatre and a 2 km-long necropolis of sarcophagi are among the ruinous structures there.

Roman columns that were submerged by an earthquake at the Antique Pool are well-known.

Mount Nemrut

Southeast Turkey's Mount Nemrut, also known as Nemrud, is a 2,134-meter-high mountain notable for its summit, where several enormous statues have been erected around what is thought to be a royal tomb from the first century BC. It is one of the Taurus Mountains' tallest peaks to the east.

Topkapi Palace

Topkapi Palace, also known as the Seraglio, is a sizable museum located in Istanbul, Turkey's Fatih neighbourhood. It served as the administrative hub of the Ottoman Empire from the 1460s until Dolmabahce Palace was finished in 1856, and it was the main residence of its sultans until the 17th century.

Topkapi Palace

Pergamon

A wealthy and significant ancient Greek city in Mysia, Pergamon or Pergamum is also known by its current Greek name, Pergamos. It is situated on a peninsula on the north bank of the river Caicus, northwest of the current city of Bergama, Turkey, and 26 kilometres from the present-day Aegean Sea shoreline.
