What are the most worth visiting tourist attractions in Türkiye?

The most worthwhile tourist attractions in Turkey include: Pamukkale, Antalya Beach, Cappadocia, Independence Street, Blue Mosque, Turkish Blanket Shop, Ancient City of Ephesus, etc.

1. Pamukkale

Pamukkale, one of the three major attractions in Türkiye, is not to be missed. Pamukkale is Turkish, also known as Pamukkale Hot Springs. The snow-white natural terraced landscape here has been known to everyone since ancient times. The precious travertine has also been included in the World Cultural Heritage.

The hot spring water here is neither hot nor cold, and is very comfortable. There is not a grain of sand when walking on the lime slope, and it does not hurt your feet and is not too slippery to walk on. At the foot of Pamukkale is a small lake. The small stream next to the lake flows with white milk-like hot spring water. If you have enough time, you can stay for a while.

2. Antalya Beach

Antalya is a port city on the south coast of Turkey, the capital of Antalya Province, and the largest city on the south coast of Turkey. Antalya receives an average of 13 million tourists every year and has been rated as the third most popular tourist city in the world. Antalya Beach is one of the must-see attractions.

The Gulf of Antalya borders the northeastern side of the Mediterranean Sea. To the east is the beautiful Konyaat Beach, to the west is the endless Lara Beach, to the south is the clear Mediterranean Sea, and to the north is the lush Taurus Mountains. . Unlike other places, Antalya Beach is not a sandy beach, but a rocky beach covered with fine gravel. There are fewer tourists here than other beaches, and there are almost no crowds.

3. Cappadocia

The most moon-like place in the world - Cappadocia. Humming "Take You to Romantic Turkey", the images that immediately come to mind must be the weird and magical cave stone houses in Cappadocia, the colorful hot air balloons flying around the house, and the swaying candlelight in the open-air restaurants in Goreme Town. For dinner, we walked through Rose Valley and watched the sunrise and sunset on the moon’s surface.

The best trip to Cappadocia is the sunrise + hot air balloon. Hot air ballooning is very dependent on the wind, so summer is a good time to travel. The sun rises early, the wind is gentle, and the weather is not cold. It is a good time to take photos!

4. Independence Street

Independence Street is a street that existed before 1927 during the Ottoman period. It is one of the oldest districts in Istanbul and has a long-standing reputation as "Istanbul's most popular street". Independence Street leads from Taksim Square to Tünel. The total length of the street is 1,400 meters, and the central part is Yenicha Street adjacent to Galatasaray High School and the 50th Anniversary Monument. The entire avenue covers nine small streets.

Istiklal Street has its flaws, but it is the most cosmopolitan place in Istanbul. Because whether you are a local or a tourist, this street is a must-see. At night, Independence Street has a variety of entertainment activities, such as various street musical instruments. Istiklal Avenue also has some cultural venues such as opera houses, cinemas, bookstores and art galleries.

5. Blue Mosque

The landmark of Istanbul, the current security check in Istanbul is very strict, so it is safe to go here. Mosques can also give you a different feeling when photographed. It is a painting style that combines exotic customs, which is unconventional and full of travel style.

The mosque is located in the center of the old city and can be reached by public transportation. There are no tickets, but you need to wear a headscarf to enter. Devout Muslims are not allowed inside during prayer times.

7. Turkish Carpet Shop

There is an Internet celebrity carpet shop in the town of Goreme, which is famous for its carpets. From the floor to the walls, it is covered with all kinds of local super products. Beautiful carpet gives people a strong visual impact!

It’s just that because it’s so popular, you usually have to pay for taking photos. You will be charged one or two hundred RMB for about half an hour. Overall, this store is great for taking pictures, but if you want to buy a rug, there aren't really many choices.

8. The ancient city of Ephesus
