Top 10 attractions in Turkey?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the top ten attactions in Turkey.
I do have a short list of the following:
The Grand Bazaar - Kusadasi
Ephesus
Kalei?§i Camii
Derinkuyu and Kaymakli
The Blue Mosque
The Topkapi Palace
Roman theatre at Aspendos
Are these top attractions? Is there anything that you think should be in the list and why?
Thanks
Firstly Topkapi Palace from what i know is just hotel in Antalya and is not a site to see unless you are going to Russia.
The Grand Bazaar is just a market, although probably quite big.
If you are going to Istanbul you will have plenty of sites to see that you can book with a tour guide who will tell you what is best to see or not, other that that out of Istanbul down south here are a few things you might want to see are:
-Aspendos - is famous for its well preserved theatre, elaborate stage auditorium and arcade above all of which are all intact, which can accommodate up to 14000 people.
-Kale - where Tomb of Santa Nicolas is (where the idea of "Santa Claus" Originates from)
-Cappadocia - is a Holy land from Pre-Christianity times and has saved many underground Churches -Chapels, mosaics and lots of ancient sites
-Pamukkale - The scientific explanation is that the hot thermal springs poured down the hillside and deposited calcium carbonate, which solidified as travertine as the sun hit it, forming enormous circular pools fringed with stalactites.
Its an amazing place, and you can actually swim and paddle in the pools, the water is believed to cure many illnesses from heart disease to rheumatism.
Hierapolis - Near Pamukkale, are many ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis, which Cleopatra is said to have graced with her beauty.
Kekova - The underwater city near Kas. Kas is another great place to see where you can take a boat trip of 15 mins over to the very very small Greek island.
If you are around Antlaya then there are plenty of amazing waterfall features such as the Dudan, however I think they may have them around other places of Turkey too.
Hope that helps and you have a great holiday!
