From snow-like natural wonders to hippy beach retreats, here is my choice for 20 of the best and most beautiful places to visit in Turkey…
Blue Lagoon, Oludeniz – a spectacular lagoon made up of varying shades of turquoise
Few places on earth offer such untouched beauty as the Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz. This area of Turkey is what dreams are made of and yes, the water is a spectacular shade of turquoise. Not only is the water the most striking shade of blue, but the lagoon is teeming with sea life.
Snorkeling, Kayaking, and swimming in the lagoon with give you the opportunity to see turtles and sea horses up close, so be sure to bring your gear along with you. Blue Lagoon is located in a protected park, so there is a nominal entrance fee and at times it can get crowded, but no matter how many people are there, you will enjoy a picturesque experience.
Cappadocia – a striking semi-arid region known for its distinctive “fairy chimneys”
Cappadocia is a stunning region of rock formations, subterranean churches and underground cities, the scale of which is simply overwhelming. There are hundreds of underground buildings in the region. Two of the most unmissable are Kaymakli, which has eight levels, and Derinkuyu, which descends some 55 metres.
Nevsehir, the capital of Cappadocia, is a great place to base yourself when visiting. The surrounding area is a popular trekking route amid the breathtaking and alien rock formations called Peri Bacalari or ‘Fairy Chimneys’ – easily one of the most beautiful places to visit in Turkey.
Pamukkale – a town in western Turkey known for the mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces
Few people can ever say that they’ve seen snow at 40C. A hot spot on the backpacking trail and one of Turkey’s most impressive natural wonders, the Pamukkale mineral spa, translated as ‘cotton castle.’
Stunning white terraces of calcium-rich warm waters spring up from the earth and cascade over low cliffs, forming the crisp, snow-like landscape.
Butterfly Valley – one of the most stunning places to explore in Turkey
This is easily one of the most famously beautiful places to visit in Turkey. Not only is the scenery simply gorgeous with pure turquoise waters and a pristine stretch of sandy beach nestled between two towering cliffs (accessed by boat from either Olu Deniz or Fethiye).
But it’s also a special place because of the thousands of butterflies that live in the trees behind – hence it’s wonderful name – so this unique place to visit offers both stunning views and in summer, a kaleidoscope of colour. There are also no buildings or asphalt here to destroy the it’s picture-perfectness and so ensures Butterfly Valley remains one of the most photogenic beach locations in the country!
Bodrum – a vibrant port city and a glistening holiday resort
On approach to Bodrum, on one of the many 50 minute ferries leading into the port city, you will first see a pristine coastline with the Castle of St. Peter standing high above the coastline. This city has more charm that you will likely find anywhere else in the world.
Kas – a beautiful little coastal town which has a lot to offer visitors
The sea surrounding Kas, Turkey looks almost like glass bringing the opportunity to capture a glimpse of the crystal clear waters in every picture taken. The coast is lined with residences and small shops to browse in, but shopping is not the only thing you will have on your mind while visiting.
To get a bird’s eye view of this spectacular city, paragliding or watching the sunset up the mountain will be welcomed activities. The ruins of Patara Beach and Xanthos are in Kas as well as unique diving opportunities for tourists and residents alike.
Patara – one of the best under-the-radar resorts in Turkey known for its long beach and ancient ruins
Patara was once the major naval and trading port of Lycia, located at the mouth of the Xanthos river. Now it is a wide, stunning smile carved on to the landscape of Turkey. This bohemian beach retreat is also an incredibly biologically diverse national park rich in birdlife.
It sits not far from the sites of Letoon and Xanthos, and a day trip from Kalkan, Kas or Fethiye. Beautiful 12 km-long Patara Beach, voted one of the top beaches in the world by Times Online, is an easy 10- to 15-minute stroll away from the major ruins at Patara.
