Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.

We've been to Anitkabir on numerous different occasions by now. It really is simply a magnificent place, tributed to Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The thing is, it is hard to review a place like this in detail, as it contains a lot of information about Atatürk, is free and even if the prior two statements wouldn't be there, it still is just beautiful. In the center of Ankara, with a great view almost the entire 360 degrees. It really simply is a must-see in Ankara. Also to learn more about the most important man in recent Turkish history, who's name and portrait you can see pretty much across Turkey. Offline reading about him in addition is also definitely recommended.

This vast and splendidly designed museum is alone worth the trip to Şanlıurfa. The collection ranges from the Palaeolithic period until now, and it contains so many exquisite pieces. The section on Göblekli Tepe is excellent and provides a wonderful insight into this mysterious culture. It deserves a good number of hours to see this stunning collection. 6 stars !!!!

I have lived in Turkey for 8 years and visited countless museums, but I have to say that the Mosaic and Archaeology museums in Urfa have to be my favourite. The mosaic museum has a very unique layout and allows you to get a very close up look at the beautiful mosaics. The archaeology features local history and artifacts and is very interesting.

This museum was more exciting and engaging than the actual ruins on the site of Troy. An excellent, creative and informative presentation of the area's history. We easily spent about 2 hours walking around.

10. Topkapi Palace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27,196 reviews
This enormous palace was the Imperial residence of Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years. Although much of the palace is not accessible, the daily tours of the Harem are of great interest to tourists.

You must visit this to see how the Ottomans use to live... it has a lot of historical artifacts from the time of Prophet Moses and Propher Mohammed PBUH... definitely take the audio guide and make sure you ask how to use it properly
