From karst expanses to tranquil coasts and cities teaming with life, Turkey has it all. On the cusp of the East and the West, a unique destination awaits hungry travelers. The sunrise views over Cappadocia, the towering Minarets of Istanbul, and the gleaming coast of the Mediterranean are just some of the many places to visit in Turkey. Here are some more unmissable stops that Turkey offers.

Best known for its fairy chimneys, cave hotels, hot air balloon rides, and mesmerizing landscapes, the famous tourist hotspot of Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey. Antalya in southwest Turkey is the country’s most popular resort town — so it’s no surprise that Antalya to Cappadocia is a much-in-demand itinerary for people touring Turkey. The fastest way to travel between these destinations is by plane. But if you choose to make the trip overland, either by bus or cab, you can explore fascinating places on the way, including Konya, home to a museum of the 13th-century poet Rumi, and Aspendos, an ancient city with a well-preserved Roman theater.

Soar over Cappadocia’s incredible tufa formations in a hot air balloon or go deep into its ancient subterranean cities during your trip to Turkey. Marvel at the extraordinary landscape of the Göreme National Park and admire the 9th-century Byzantine frescoes of the Buckle Church. Cappadocia is a tourist destination like no other. You can plan an itinerary that covers both Cappadocia and Izmir. In Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest city, you can wander in the atmospheric Kemeralti Market, visit the impressive Museum of History and Art, and stroll in the iconic promenade. The travel options from Izmir to Cappadocia include car, plane, and bus.

Pamukkale and Cappadocia are must-visit destinations in Turkey. On your trip to Turkey, discover the fairytale ‘cotton castle’ of Pamukkale, a striking white cluster of calcite travertines overflowing with hot spring waters in southwestern Turkey. The rich citizens of ancient Rome would come here to bathe and heal in the mineral-rich pools. Above the travertines are the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis. In Cappadocia, explore its stunning ‘fairy chimneys’ and take in the otherworldly landscapes from a hot air balloon. You can do the Cappadocia to Pamukkale circuit by bus or car.
