Goreme National Park

Reviewed By localfoodiebih - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

We visited Goreme in Oktober 2019. It was part of our honeymoon trip and we are still sad because we didnt spent at least couple days more at this magical place. We have heard about is before we came, we saw photos and videos, but believe me you cannot describe how beautiful this place is. It is perfect in September or October to visit since during the summer it is too hot. You can stay at cave hotels, visit open air museum, take one of the tours to visit couple more villages and underground cities and learn more about their tradition, culture and history of course. Prepare yourself to wake up early in the morning and visit Point of View place (ask locals) about directions and enjoy the view over the valley lighten by morning sun and hot air ballons.

Aynaligol (Gilindire) Magarasi

Reviewed By zoltano421 - Budapest, Hungary

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.

This imposing mountain and former volcano is now a resort area used for skiing and other winter sports. In summer, mountaineers generally attempt climbs from June through September, before the snows arrive at the higher elevations.

City Walls

These four-gated walls were restored in 349 AD during the reign of Constantinus III of Rome, and they surround the old part of the city. They are also famed for being the second largest walls in the world after the Great Wall of China.

Pamukkale Thermal Pools

Reviewed By colonial23 - County Galway, Ireland

Turkey is the most beautiful country naturally in the world. You can argue for New Zealand but no way. No other country has more natural beauty packed into one space. Surrounded by five seas:Black, Bosporus, Marmara Aegean and the Mediterranean, Turkey is also blessed with mountains with spice-like striations, tons of glacial lakes like Uzungol, snow capped mountains tumbling into the sea on the exquisite unparalleled Black Sea coast, waterfalls everywhere in Anatolia, and travertines such as this one in Pammukkale. This place with natural turquoise pools and white stone looks like a more beautiful version of the moon. There is also an impeccable island with swans in a lake adjoining. Pammukkale is not to be missed if your desire is to see THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES in the world.

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.
