Istanbul and Antalya certainly lure tourists with their charms, but Türkiye holds many more treasures. Embark on an exciting journey through this country to discover charming cities, rich history, breathtaking nature and welcoming culture.
In this article we will tell you about unusual places in Türkiye that are worth visiting.
Bodrum. Plunge into the azure waters of the Aegean Sea surrounding Bodrum. This city attracts lovers of water sports - surfing, kite and windsurfing, diving.
Discover the history that permeates every corner of Bodrum. Explore the ruins of an ancient amphitheater, where gladiatorial battles once took place. Visit St. Peter's Castle, which towers over the city like a guardian of centuries.
Lovers of secrets are attracted by the museum of underwater archeology, one of the largest in the world. Here, in the twilight of the halls, you can see artifacts raised from the bottom of the sea: fragments of sunken ships, amphorae and other treasures that keep the secrets of the past.
Akyaka. Surrounded by mountains and pine forests, Akyaka attracts kitesefing lovers. The resort is mainly visited by elite Turkish youth.
Akyaka captivates guests with its unique architectural appearance. The author of this architectural ensemble is the Turkish journalist and poet Nail Chakirhan. Inspired by Ottoman, Aegean and Turkish architecture, he created his family home, which became a model for the entire city. Take a walk through the streets of Akyaka and see for yourself: a single style reigns here, creating a feeling of comfort and tranquility.
Akyaka is located along the Azmak River, surrounded by eucalyptus groves. A leisurely boat ride is an opportunity to enjoy the aroma of pine needles and enchanting landscapes.
Trabzon is located on the border with Georgia. The Georgian relief is already visible in the landscapes, but the flavor remains Turkish.
The Great Silk Road that passed through Trabzon left its mark in every detail: architectural elements, local dialects and unique cuisine.
The main pearl of Trabzon is the Panagia Sumela monastery, carved into a steep rock. One of the main Orthodox shrines is kept here - the Icon of the Virgin Mary of Panagia. Walking up to the monastery, you can enjoy a panoramic view that will take your breath away.
Don't forget about beach holidays. Trabzon gives you access to the warm Black Sea, where a comfortable holiday awaits you. And if you want to retire in the lap of nature, visit Lake Uzengel. Here, among enchanting landscapes and absolute tranquility, you will feel like you are in Switzerland.
Kayakoy, once a vibrant Greek town, now appears to tourists as a ghost town frozen in time.
After 1920, the Greek community left these places, returning to their historical homeland. The Turks did not want to settle the empty houses, and Kayakoy turned into an abandoned city.
Despite its emptiness, Kayakoy does not evoke feelings of anxiety or fear. There is no oppressive atmosphere of horror films here, but a mystical silence permeated with the spirit of history reigns. Once you reach the top of the hill, you will be captivated by the panoramic view of the bay.
Lake Egirdir. On the way to Egirdir, don't forget to stop to admire the lavender fields.
Egirdir is the second largest freshwater lake in Türkiye, surrounded by mountain ranges.
Take a walk along the spit that divides the lake into two parts. On one side you will see azure, deep water, and on the other, an emerald green surface.
Lake Egirdir is not only a place for contemplation, but also a paradise for lovers of water activities. You can swim in the clearest water, and for thrill-seekers there is a special diving board for deep diving.
Visit an ancient fortress built by the Byzantines. Walk through the ruins of this once important trading center and experience the grandeur of history.
