Istanbul, previously called Constantinople, is the biggest city in Turkey. Straddling the Bosphorus river with one foot in Asia and one foot in Europe, it is a fascinating city to visit and explore. It truly is the city where East meets West, from the historic area of Sultanahmet, home to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar, to Galata, just across the bridge, where you'll find familiar high street shops and modern bars and restaurants.
Antalya
Antalya, sometimes called the Turkish Riviera, is a beautiful stretch of coastline, dotted with historic monuments and stunning beaches, popular with tourists. The town of Antalya was a major Roman port and, even today, the old harbour is filled with yachts from all over the world.
Cappadocia
The unique landscapes in this central Turkish area have made it famous in movies and photographs. The tall 'fairy chimneys' that cover the landscape, along with troglodyte cities carved out of the rock, give this area a haunting and historic beauty found nowhere else.
Izmir
The town of Izmir, formerly Smyrna, was founded by the Greeks and, over the years, has passed through the hands of the Romans, Alexander the Great and the Ottoman Empire. Visit the ruins of Ephesus for a look back to the past.
Bodrum
Sitting on the Aegean Coast, Bodrum is an attractive town with a castle overlooking the sea. It is known for its nightlife with many high end bars restaurants and clubs making it popular with International holidaymakers and affluent Turks.
Tips for driving in Turkey
The following information will make for safe and enjoyable driving throughout Turkey.
Many roads in Turkey are not lit, so be cautious if you have to drive at night.
You will frequently see police traffic stops to check that drivers are licensed and not under the influence. Be sure to keep your passport and license with you at all times while driving.
When you are the first car in line at a stoplight, you are almost directly below the stoplight, making it very hard to see the light change color. Most people will honk to let you know that the light has changed and you can proceed.
