CategoriesDiscover Türkiye through four different lenses
One place can be a coast, an ecosystem and a historic landscape at once. These four themes let you explore by interest without reducing Türkiye to a single travel list.
9 placesTürkiye’s coasts are not of one kind: a small cove formed at a canyon mouth and a beach running for kilometres stand side by side on the same shoreline. This category suggests reading the sea not only as a place to swim but together with the mountain, ancient city and protected area behind it. Turquoise water is often the mark of a particular geography; how a cove formed is as much part of the story as its colour.
5 placesMountain and highland are the way to read Türkiye through altitude. A cable car that lifts you from the coast to a summit in minutes and a highland trek that lasts for days are two ends of the same scale. This category is a reminder that the view changes with the weather, the season and the height — that the same point can look entirely different on a clear day and a misty one.
7 placesForest, lake and river bring together Türkiye’s coolest and most alive corners. A deep lake of crater origin, a canyon through red-pine forest, or a river flowing beneath a Roman bridge — this category treats water as both scenery and ecosystem. The most fragile places are often here too, which is why responsible visiting is an inseparable part of this category.
19 placesHistory and ancient sites are the way to read Türkiye layer by layer. The acoustics of a Roman theatre, the council building of a Lycian city, or a coastal settlement gone underwater — this category brings out the story behind the stone. Most ancient cities today are interwoven with nature, so historic places are often a landscape as well.
