3 Scenic Escapes in Turkey

on

Are you in the mood for an adventure through some of the most breathtaking scenery on the planet? Turkey should be at the top of your list! From the surreal ‘fairy chimneys’ of Cappadocia to the dazzling white terraces of Pamukkale, Turkey is full of scenic wonders worth exploring. Let’s take a closer look.

Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a surreal landscape made up of rock formations and cave dwellings. They look as though they’ve been lifted straight out of a fairytale. The area is most famous for its “fairy chimneys,” tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley, Göreme.

Kabak Valley

If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat by the sea, the Kabak Valley is for you. It offers a pristine stretch of beach on Turkey’s famous Lycian Way. This secluded paradise opens up to stunning views of the Mediterranean coast. There are only two ways to reach it: one narrow winding road or by hiking down from the village of Kabak.

Pamukkale

Pamukkale, which translates to “cotton castle” in Turkish, is a natural site that features snow-white terraces of mineral-rich thermal waters. This breathtaking natural phenomenon is made up of mineral forests, petrified waterfalls, and a series of terraced basins created by centuries of flowing calcium-rich waters.
