Throughout its history, it has been known as Constantinople, Byzantium and finally Istanbul. While the political capital of modern-day Turkey is actually in Ankara, Istanbul remains the epicenter of Turkish life. Best attractions on any Istanbul itinerary includes the Aya Sofia, the Blue Mosque and Old Bazaar. You can also take a boat ride across the Bosphorus Strait which separates Europe from Asia. Hostels in Istanbul are very high priced so we will give you low price. Food is super affordable once you get away from the popular tourist areas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This city is popular for its distinctive fairy chimneys, tall cone-shaped rock clustered around, Monks Valley and G&amp;ouml;reme. Many of the balmy rocky formations around the area have been carved out over millennia into homes, monasteries or places of refuge for pilgrims en route to the Holy Land. Our tip is to take an early morning balloon ride over the valley it can easily will arrange once you reach the town.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It subsequently passed through the hands of successive empires before been abandoned completely in the 15h century. Both sites is haunting and fascinating, and some of the ruins are incredibly well preserved. There is a stunning Roman amphitheater, an ancient Greek library as well as several early Christian churches, you may not know this, but it is often speculated that the Book of Revelation was written in Ephesus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The early Sufi Dervishes developed the strange and unique practice as mystical-religious experience and whilst this tradition is alive and well in Turkey, modern-day dervishes are more than happy to perform their routine for spectators.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Dervish shows can find throughout the country but your best opportunity of finding one is probably in Istanbul. The spectacle is not to be missed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What sets Hierapolis apart from Ephesus is the large, ancient Necropolis as well as the hot springs around which the town was built. The springs are still used to this day and you can take a dip to absorb their healing properties all whilst looking out over 2000-year-old ruins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 16pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Pamukkale Thermal Pools:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Thousands of years over, geological changes have etched out some stunning natural, calcium and granite rock formations. There were once hotels built around the area but they were, thankfully, pulled down in the 1960&amp;rsquo;s when the government recognized that their presence was damaging the natural environment. Therefore, in order to explore Pamukkale Thermal Pools, you can base yourself in Denizli and catch one of the regular mini-buses.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The resort does pack a lot of charm and is still pick of the seaside in Turkey. Accommodation standards here massively and prices can spike here in the summer season. To ensure you get the best deal possible, look online to discover cheapest prices on rentals before you go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The statues are nearly 2000 year old and are remarkably well preserved considering their deliberate defacement at the hands of zealous Islamic rulers. The mountain summit is a doable but hike so bring good footwear, lots of water and sun cream. You will&amp;nbsp; get to Mount Nemrut by either basing yourself in the nearby town of Adyaman or taking one of the overnight tours available from Malatya or Kahta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
