Turkey is a shopping paradise, from antique shops and chic designer boutiques to shopping malls, historical bazaars to local markets but you need to know some tricks of shopping.

Things to keep in mind:
- It is important to plan your travel here. Rail and roads are not so good means of transport here and might take a lot of time. It is better   to book cheap flights in advance. Pegasus is a low cost airline operating in Turkey
- The sequence of Travel is important in Turkey. I would suggest starting from Istanbul, then Cappadocia, then Antalya and finally              Kusadasi before flying back to Istanbul. This will make sure you’re not unnecessarily wasting time in flying back and forth to Istanbul      because almost all the flights are connected through Istanbul
- If you are traveling in winters, make sure to carry proper thick woolen clothing. Temperature can drop in minus here 

- I would suggest you to keep Istanbul visit for the last 2 days because then you won't have to rush to Istanbul for your flight back home

Turkey is a mystical land, a land where Eastern and Western civilizations meet and melt. When I planned to go to Turkey, lot of people asked me, “Why Turkey?” I guess I am going to answer that question in this blog post. Turkey might not be popular as the European destinations in the region, but is equally (if not more) exotic. From cosmopolitan Istanbul to mesmerizing Cappadocia, to Mediterranean beaches in Antalya, Turkey has it all. The best part about Turkey is indeed its people, who are so friendly and warm. I have never come across such warmth in any other country before. Some of them are willing to go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Not to forget the Turkish tea (çay), which binds them together.

2. Blue Mosque/Sultan Ahmad Mosque: 

 

Right across the Hagia Sofia complex is the Blue Mosque. The Ottomans built it in the seventeenth century. At the time it was constructed, the Sultan Ahmad Mosque was the only mosque to have 6 minarets, besides the Mecca mosque. Since then, more minarets have been built in Mecca. The Blue Mosque is equally elegant as Hagia Sofia. The interior of the mosque is plastered with blue stones. Some say that the Ottoman Sultan built it to prove that their architectural mastery was no less than the Christians who made Hagia Sofia. 

3. Sultanahmet Square: 

 

The area where both Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque are situated is known as Sultanahmet square. Along with these magnificent structures, it also has some other historical monuments going dating back to the Ottoman era. There are also many food joints and shopping avenues nearby.

Antalya:

 

It is a coastal city in the south of Turkey on the Mediterranean coast. It has some of the best beaches in Turkey. Relaxing on the beach with Mediterranean food is an amazing feeling. Antalya has a pebble beach, called Konyaalti Beach, which is a popular tourist spot. Another beach is Lara beach, at the other end of the town. Antalya also had some museums for history lovers that can be explored as well. There are also big markets in Antalya, as it is a large city.

4. Underground city: 

 

Many underground cities have been discovered in Cappadocia region. Some of the biggest ones have up to 7 levels under the surface and are thousands of years old. It is not surely known who lived in these cities, but it is widely accepted that they lived underground to escape detection from enemies on the surface. The cities are such designed that ventilation reaches even till the 7th floor under the surface. Yet another piece of beauty Cappadocia has to offer.

Ephesus

Packed to the brim with ancient monuments left over from a parade of conquerors, and endowed with showcase scenery that never fails to impress, Turkey is a dazzling destination that straddles Asia and Europe. Its vibrant culture, famous food, and vast history wow all who venture here, while its glorious landscapes-from the sun-soaked Mediterranean to the mighty mountains and arid steppe-are highlights in themselves.

 

Whether you want to lap up the Byzantine and Ottoman glories of Istanbul on a city break, laze on the beach, delve into history wandering through ruins such as Ephesus, or see some of the world's most surreal panoramas in Pamukkale and Cappadocia, this country has attractions galore.
