Pamukkale and the ancient city of Hierapolis (Greek: Ἱεράπολις) are located in the Denizli region of Turkey. It is a must-see attraction. If possible on your own by car and even better in spring or autumn.

Marmaris (Turkey) - Top 5 attractions

  1. The promenade - from Icmeler to the end of Marmaris is about 15 km. It is well equipped in terms of road, but not designed for promenade.
  2. Icmeler village is a cozy resort town in the bay.
  3. The village of Turunç (a beautiful village) and the ancient town of Amos (ruins with beautiful views of the two villages on both sides).
  4. Nimara Cave (spectacular in appearance and feeling...). A visit is not particularly recommended.
  5. Pamukkale (geographical proximity allows you to get in 3-4 hours from Marmaris to the "cotton" sight) is a real attraction!

One day in Istanbul

A day in Istanbul is a must for lovers of history, architecture and religion. Istanbul is courtyards and mosques, heavy street traffic, lots of people. Not everyone will like it - for aficionados!

White and Love valley Cappadocia

The Valley of Love (Bağıldere vadisi) is among the characteristic and must-see places in Cappadocia. The White Valley is lovely to look at and easy to walk through. However, there is no need to visit it specially. Only as part of the described route Uchhisar - White Valley - Valley of Love - Gereme.

"Green Tour Cappadocia - Ihlara Valley and the Underground City of Kaymakli

The Green Tour is:

  •     The underground city of Kaymakli or Derinkuyu
  •     Selime cave monastery
  •     Ihlara Valley (the walking part of the tour is 4 km).

If you want to see everything, then by all means take the tour. However, the cave monastery is the standard views throughout Cappadocia, the Ihlara Valley is just nature along the river. That leaves the underground city, which you can visit on your own - will come out 3 times cheaper. It's up to you)

Pigeon valey and Zemi Valley

We advise to walk through the valley of pigeons from Gereme to the observation deck, then go to Uchhisar. The time is up to 2 hours. Then you should see the fortress and the town of Uçhisar as a whole on the same day. We do not recommend Zemi valley for walking.

  • Göreme - we advise to settle in the center of the old town
  • Uçhisar (fortress) - a couple of hours for a sightseeing visit
  • Urgup (fortress) - a couple of hours for the sightseeing
  • Ortohisar (fortress)
