Capital: Ankara

1. ISTANBUL

Once serving as the capital of the Ottoman and Byzantine Empires, Istanbul today is the largest city in
Turkey and one of the largest in the world. Istanbul stretches across both sides of the Bosphorus, a
narrow strait that connects Asia and Europe, making it the only city in the world spanning two
continents. Impressive architecture, historic sites, dining, shopping, nightlife and exotic atmosphere all
make Istanbul one of the world’s top tourist destinations.

The Old City is where most of the city’s impressive historic sites are found, which include the Hagia
Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. Another important district is New City, known for its modern
day attractions, skyscrapers and shopping malls. Beyoglu and Galata are popular zones for nightlife and
entertainment, while the Bosphorus area is home to beautiful palaces, waterfront mansions and urban
parks.
There is no shortage of exciting things to see and do in Istanbul. A shopping affair not to be missed is the
Grand Bazaar, one of the world’s oldest and largest covered markets. Visiting a Turkish bath is also a
great way to experience the local culture. The nightlife scene in Istanbul abounds in numerous
restaurants, pubs and nightclubs to suit every budget and preference.
2. CAPPADOCIA

Situated in Central Anatolia of Turkey, Cappadocia is best known for its fairytale landscape of unusual
formations resembling chimneys, cones, mushrooms and pinnacles. Natural processes such as ancient
volcanic eruptions and erosion have all sculpted these odd formations over the ages, with some of them
rising as much as 130 feet (40 meters) high. However, thousands of years ago, mankind added
remarkable touches to the landscape by carving out houses, churches and underground cities from the
soft rock.

Inhabited as early as 1800 BC, Hittites and other residents chiseled out underground tunnel complexes,
seeking safety from invading Persians and Greeks. Much later in the 4th century AD, Christians, fleeing
out of religious persecution from Rome, sought refuge in Cappadocia’s tunnels and caves. Today, the
region’s natural wonders and historic sites all make it a popular destination.

While much of Cappadocia is located in the province of Nevsehir, some of the main towns in the region
are Ürgüp, Göreme, Avanos, Ortahisar and Mustafapasa. Many of these towns offer hotels, restaurants,
nightlife options and attractions such as museums, rock castles, fairy chimneys, underground tunnels,
old Greek villages, monasteries and handicraft markets. Some of the caves in the region are actually
hotels and cater to tourists.
The hot air balloons cost can range between 1154 Turkish Lira to 1,823 Turkish Lira for a group ticket
basket. Booking online in advance is recommended. Carrying a jacket is recommended. Rose, Love, Red
Valleys make for great vantage points to see the hot air balloons flying overhead.
