Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. 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. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia.

The cave is located in a beautiful environment, on a far-stretching mountainous shore. The entrance is actually in the side of the cliffs, with a staircase leading way down to the mouth of the cave. Inside, a deep and breathtaking scenery awaits, with an untouched and majestic lake at the bottom. All in all, more than worth the two-hour return trip from Alanya through winding roads because it is much more beautiful than either, more touristic and well-known caves in and around that city.

The design of the museum, the collection of cars, model cars and memorabilia is simply amazing and definitely a must see. It is hard to grasp how much love, effort and dedication it must have taken to build up this world class collection.

We have visited it in winter and it’s stunning. I never saw such a beautiful view. It takes a few min with a small boat to reach the island. Definitely a must visit. We have been there with two small children and it’s total safe!
6. Knidos

Reviewed By Olga_Lin - Moscow, Russia
An ancient city in a beautiful place. Although from afar it seems pretty small but since you're in the site you realize how actually big for that time the city was. There's not much left of it but even the stones that still remain give an impression how well designed Knidos was. The harbour is something amazing. They used the natural bays and improved the safety for ships with walls both sides, west and east. There's also a lighthouse at the point, it's a bit of a walk but worthy every step. Gorgeous views from the path and from the hill.

Kaputas Beach is one of the world’s best protected areas with a hidden canyon pass sliding into a large spectacular beach, often with large waves and great surf. A must see in the Mediterranean.

So my younger brothers loved walking around and playing in the cold water of the river, they enjoyed a simple zip line and kayaked by the beautiful view of the river and the mountain. I did bungee jumping for the first time and it was an excellent experience.
9. Koprulu Kanyon Milli Parki
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 482 reviews
East of Anatlaya you'll find the clear and beautiful river Köprü. Shortly after Beskonak is the starting point of the canyon and a white water rafting tour. Two Roman bridges mark the beginning. The canyon is 14k meters long.
Reviewed By AnnBlacksea - Samsun, Turkey
This national park can be visited at any time of year. In the summer or Spring you can go canoeing and whitewater rafting. If you do not want to go on a tour then just drive to the park and you can easily find other independent people looking to split the cost and go rafting. The price will include all the equipment,bringing you back to the start and lunch. I can highly recommend doing this! If you are not so active there are amazing views, picnic spots and lovely walks a long the river. There are two Roman bridges which should not be missed. The scenery is particularly spectacular in autumn with all the different colors of the leaves.
