If Turkey is next on holiday list, I’ve rounded up the top 5 places to visit.
Cappadocia
Located in South Central Turkey Cappadocia is a must see place in Turkey which is famous for it’s different geological features of Fairy Chimneys. These Chimneys have been created over time through the erosion of soft volcanic ash. In history different cultures have dug into these large cone shape formations to create castles and even cities. To get the best view take a hot air balloon above and appreciate the entire landscape.
Kabak Bay
If you want to escape the crowded tourist beaches, then head on over to Kabak Bay. You wont find plastic chairs and umbrellas here. This is a beautiful small village located in Lycia and offers bright turquoise waters and white sand beaches. You won’t find too much here except pure relaxation.

In fact there is enough to do in the cultural capital of Turkey, it would be very easy to spend your entire holiday there.
