With the fabulous culture, great local cousin, the Grand Bazaars, the Hammam and the Turkish night shows, it is no wonder that Turkey is ranked the 6^th most popular destination in the world.

Istanbul, the bustling economic, cultural and historic centre of Turkey, on the Bosphorus channel between the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea, and with neighborhoods both in Asia and Europe, the city reflects beautiful mix of east and west. One of the world’s most popular tourist destination, it offers rich and unique eastern culture, historical architecture, and vibrant entertainment, in its historic centre, in the natural harbor, the Golden Horn, and across the city.

Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia, one of Turkey’s most popular destinations, famous for its “Moonscape” scenery, Fairy Chimneys, and other magnificent and impressive rock formations. Visit homes, decorated churches, and monasteries all carved into the Volcanic soft rock, and Underground cities home of thousands of people as early as 2,000 years BC.

Explore the numerous impressive remains of the Lycian, Greek, and Roman ancient cities and enjoy the endless outdoor activities opportunities.

For the best Turkey travel plan, tasting from everything Turkey has to offer, we would suggest combining 2-3 days in Istanbul, 2-3 days in Cappadocia and as much as time allows swimming and sunbathing vacation in one of the great Antalya Mediterranean coast resorts.
Flying between each of the regions, would be the most time efficient, while the order of destinations visited does not really matter.

As for climate, the summer months of July August tends to be very warm, with the best periods to visit Turkey are the Spring, April-June, and September.
