Read on to discover the top reasons why as we unfold the treasures of Türkiye together.

1. Turkey Is Excellent Value For Money

Uber in Turkey - Paying in Turkish Lira

Most likely, one of the most important factors when deciding whether to come to Turkey or not is the prices.

Luckily, Turkey is an affordable country to travel in, even for budget travelers. I am going to list prices in USD instead of Turkish lira; given the huge fluctuations that are happening, the rate would be outdated by the time you read this.

Those on the lowest budget should plan to spend 35 USD to 50 USD daily. This will get you a good night’s sleep at a hostel, street food, meals, and some activities.

The cheapest dorm that I’ve found was only 8 USD, and I’ve paid 35 USD on average for a room in a nice hotel! Prices go up in touristy areas of the country, such as the Turkish Riviera, but remain affordable.

If you’re wondering ‘how much money should I take to Turkey’ here is the breakdown of prices:

Cost Of Food In Turkey

The costs of food will highly depend on what and where you will choose to eat. Turkey has a big street food scene – this will be your cheapest option.

Plenty of stalls often line up the streets, selling traditional Turkish food that costs 1-3 USD, which is shockingly cheap! You will also find mid-range restaurants that cost around 10 USD per meal.

Cost Of Attractions In Turkey

Attraction costs include entrance fees or tours. The Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar are free entrances, while a day trip from Antalya to Side and its ancient sites costs only 20 USD. Entry to museums rarely costs more than 5 USD.

Note: As of 2024, January 15th, 2024, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque has introduced a distinct policy for tourists and worshippers. If you’re visiting for cultural exploration, there’s now a 25 euro entry fee. This ticket grants you access to the gallery floor, where you can admire the sanctuary’s stunning Ottoman and Byzantine features, including the historic mosaics.

Cost of Public Transport in Turkey

Buses in Turkey are cheap and easy to navigate, so it’s an excellent option for those on a budget. A single ticket costs 0.50 USD, or you can purchase ten rides for just 3 USD.

2. For Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar

Sultanahmet Grand Bazaar

Without a doubt, the biggest reason to visit Istanbul must be the Grand Bazaar. It is the largest covered market in the world, and its history dates back to the Ottoman Empire in 1455, making it also one of the oldest markets in the world.

A maze of thousands of narrow alleyways lined with shops, in which you will find everything you would ever need from silk textiles, handwoven carpets and rugs, gemstone jewelry, Turkish lanterns to beautifully hand-painted ceramics and tiles (and they’re all of excellent quality!).

You will also find towers of aromatic spices and herbs, an array of traditional Turkish delight, and other mouth-watering sweets and candies.

This is one of the best places in Turkey to purchase your souvenirs.

We all recommend you allocate a good few hours to explore all the tiniest nooks and crannies of the Bazaar. For an even better experience, take a break from walking in one of the many cafeterias for a cup of Turkish tea while the market bustles away in the background.

3. For The Hot Air Balloon Ride In Cappadocia

How To Get From Istanbul To Cappadocia - Balloons

A hot air balloon flight is always a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it’s even more unique and wondrous when it’s over the world-famous Cappadocia region. This experience should be one of the reasons to visit Turkey, as it really is an unforgettable activity.

Cappadocia, located in central Turkey, is famous for its unique geological formations, hidden caves, and the long history that comes with it. Stretching for thousands of kilometers, the best way to explore it is, of course, up in the air inside a hot air balloon!

What makes this ride even more remarkable is that it happens during the sunrise.

If you do not feel like taking the ride, you can watch this unforgettable spectacle of hundreds of colorful hot air balloons floating in the air, backdropped by early morning hues, from almost anywhere in Goreme.

4. Turkey’s Ancient Archaeological Sites Are Majestic

Turkey’s history dates back as far as 50,000 years ago. It is no surprise, then, that it is full of ancient historical sites belonging to some of the world’s earliest civilizations that resided in modern-day Turkey.

Ephesus, an ancient city believed to have been built before 138 A.D., is Turkey’s most famous archaeological site that must be added to your itinerary.

Apart from the ancient city of Ephesus, Troy is another ancient city known for the Greek myth of the Trojan War. A humongous constructed horse is found at the entrance of the main site, making it a very special place to visit!

My personal favorite was the Termessos Theater, sitting 1,050 meters above sea level in the mountains of Antalya. To reach it, you will need to hike for an hour, passing through remains of the ancient city and gorgeous views of the mountains.

5. To Explore Istanbul: Most Popular Tourist Destination In Turkey

Istanbul truly is one of the most unique places in the world. It is one of the few places in the world that reside on two continents.

With one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, you can visit both continents in one day by crossing the modern Bosphorus Bridge in the heart of Istanbul. Make sure to wander further on both sides, as each has its distinct feel and something interesting to explore.

Apart from that, Istanbul is home to the magnificent Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, which are some of the country’s most important and beautiful mosques.

Without a visit to those, your trip to Turkey would not be complete.

It is also where the Grand Bazaar and the Topkapi Palace – where the Ottoman sultans lived for hundreds of years. Beyond that, there are plenty of neighborhoods in Istanbul that need to be explored. Make sure to visit Taksim Square and take a ride in the famous red trams that run along Istiklal Street, and do not skip the colour-punched Balat.

6. Have The Perfect Turkish Vacation In The Turkish Riviera

Another irresistible reason to visit Turkey is to be found on its southern turquoise coast. Encompassing mesmerizing beaches, charming towns, and ancient archaeological sites, the Turkish Riviera is adored by Europeans and a popular choice for family holidays, couple gateways, or solo ventures.

Antalya, an adorable Turkish town with an old harbor and quaint center, is one of the most beautiful towns along the Turkish coast. These beautiful beaches are nestled among steep mountains, and the nearby town of Side is fascinating with its ancient ruins set right by ivory-sand beaches and azure waters, iconic to the Turkish Riviera.

Izmir, for many, is the best holiday destination in Turkey (SJ and her family still rave about their trip there), with its lively urban center and great nightlife. Those two destinations are well-known gems that attract thousands of tourists every month.

If you want to escape the crowds and spend your Turkish vacations in a quiet place, then my personal recommendation would be Faralya. A tranquil town tucked away in Butterfly Valley, it offers quiet beach escapes and mountain adventures as well as spa and yoga retreats.

7. To Be Amazed At The Other-Worldly Pamukkale Hot Springs

Cotton Castle Pamukkale

Inland, the towering snow-white, natural pools, filled to the brim with turquoise water, make up out of this-world landscapes. Pamukkale translates to ‘cotton castle,’ and this is exactly what this scenery reminded me of when I finally set my eyes on it in real life.

Formed out of a single calcium bicarbonate spring that cascaded over a cliff for thousands of years and formed countless separate pools at the bottom, today, Pamukkale are hot spring pools that are believed to have healing properties.

Pamukkale Turkey - Family

There are many tales about this spectacular location. Locals believe that a bath in one of the pools cures illnesses, and legends say that Cleopatra herself would bathe in the pools of Pamukkale.

This is a very magical and unique location to visit in Turkey that attracts many visitors every day. Be prepared for some crowds forming by the pools – unless you visit in winter like the Begonja family did.

You are free to wander away to some quieter pools for a more intimate and private experience. This site is particularly mesmerizing during sunsets!

8. De-Stress In A Turkish Hammam

There are plenty of opportunities to relax in Turkey. A Hammam, also known as a Turkish Bath, is a bath of hot steam and water that resembles a self-care experience at a spa.

The Turkish Bath is performed inside a gorgeous and intimate space, often edged with marble tiles and minimalistic décor that create a calming atmosphere.

Turkish Hammam was introduced during Ottoman rule, and today, it is an integral part of the local culture. It is believed to be cleansing of the body and the mind. For us Turks, it is more of a ritual than a bath.

The full Turkish Hammam experience lasts for about 45 minutes and includes being washed, scrubbed, and massaged by an experienced attendant while being naked. Do not worry; there are separate women and men sections, and someone of the same sex will attend you.

A Turkish Hammam is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that is very typical to the country and must be part of your Turkish vacation.

9. The Good Things About Turkey: Turkish Cuisine

Fingers and meze are a-ok!

While the world-famous kebab is a good start, Turkish cuisine is much more than that. The centerpiece of any Turkish meal is pilaf (0r, at least that is what my mom says) – slightly toasted rice enriched with broth and spices and often accompanied by almonds or plump raisins. This side dish makes any ordinary dish an extraordinary one.

And then there are sweets – Turkey excels when it comes to desserts and sweet delights. Baklava is a pastry filled with pistachios and sugary syrup. It is not only one of the best-known sweets in Turkey but also well-known worldwide.

You will find a wide array of baklava available almost everywhere in Istanbul. Even more famous is Turkish delight or lokum – a chewy, soft cube sprinkled with powdered sugar. It makes a perfect addition to Turkish coffee or tea.

Balik Ekmek is a street-food fish sandwich served with vegetables inside a fresh Turkish bun. Head to Istanbul’s Eminönü Square to try the best version of this dish.

Vegetarians will find finding meat-free options easy, as many dishes consist of vegetables or legumes such as eggplant, zucchini, chickpeas, lentils, tomatoes, beans, and much more!

For example, Kizartma is a dish consisting of spicy fried potatoes and zucchini or eggplant and served with a rich tomato sauce with garlic, parsley, and olive oil. Kumpir is a delicious baked potato with fillings of your choice – primarily fresh vegetables and sauces!

Oh, and no day of sightseeing in Turkey can start without a traditional Turkish breakfast, served with a side of Turkish coffee, of course.

10. To Experience The Famous Turkish Ice Cream Trick!

Turkish ice cream is like no other ice cream you’ve tried before. It’s chewy, creamy, stretchy, and doesn’t melt. Also known as ‘dondurma,’ it is made from goat milk, cream, wild orchids, and mastic resin, giving it that elasticity, chewiness, and gummy texture.

This is also what makes it ideal for pranking customers – poor Vladimir and Roko got duped and had no idea what was going on!

The Turkish ice cream trick is a well-known prank that will make you giggle, no matter what age you are. So, when you make an order for a delicious scoop of Turkish ice cream, be prepared for a series of tricks and pranks before you get to eat your ice cream!

11. You Must Experience The Warm Turkish Hospitality

As you’ve probably already gathered from reading my article, Turkey has stunning landscapes and delicious cuisine. But what makes this place extra special are the local people and their generosity.

Wherever you go, you will come across good-hearted Turks who want to ensure you, as a tourist in their country, have a beautiful experience visiting Turkey. They will smile, wave, and ask you how your day is while preparing you a cup of warm Turkish tea and inviting you to share it with them.

In Turkey, guests are treated with warmth and generosity, and sharing meals is an important social custom, so if you wander out of the over-tourist areas, local people might even invite you to their house to share a meal with their family. An offer that is hard to refuse, considering you will be in for a tasty meal and a wonderful local experience!

Mate told us that he found Turkish people to be incredibly friendly, warm, and caring. Unlike other countries, they rarely tried to overcharge or scam him. That said, there are some scams in Turkey to avoid; read those here, or you can also read about how to avoid Istanbul scams here.

12. Turkey’s History Is Captivating!

Turkey’s history stretches back thousands of years. In fact, the Karain cave, located near Antalya, hides evidence of habitation back 50,000 years ago! Scattered around this vast country are more reminders of various civilizations that resided in Turkey throughout all those years.

Sitting on two continents, Turkey was influenced by the Greeks, Arabs, Seljuk, and Ottoman rule before being established as the Republic of Turkey by Ataturk in 1923.

Today, the reminders can be seen in the ancient ruins and learned about in museums or during educational tours, available from most touristic spots in the country.

During your trip to Turkey, make sure to dive deep into its complex and intriguing history.

13. It Is An Excellent Destination For Family Turkish Vacations

Although this might not be the first destination to come to your mind if you’re planning vacations with your kids, Turkey is actually one of the best places to holiday.

If you’re looking for beach vacations with your little ones, the Mediterranean region is well-developed, modern, and designed with tourism in mind, making moving around easy, convenient, and safe.

Along its shores, you will find many family-friendly resorts and hotels, and many of them have kids’ entertainment programs. Antalya is an excellent option with its Aqualand Waterpark and the Aquarium. Nearby, Marmaris is a lively resort town with gorgeous beaches. Perfect for families with bigger children, Marmaris has plenty of karaoke bars and offers fun nights out!

Adventurous families will enjoy the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia and overnight stays in one of the many cave hotels in Goreme.

Some of the other best Turkey destinations for families include the history and culture-packed Istanbul or the nearby 700-year-old Ottoman village Cumalıkızık, near the colorful Bursa, a short ferry ride away from Istanbul.

14. Turkey Is Also An Excellent Destination For Adventure Travel

Turkey is a fantastic choice for your next holiday, no matter what kind of traveler you are.

My country also offers an array of adventurous activities if you’re looking for some adrenaline during your trip to Turkey. While everyone knows about the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, there are even more reasons to visit Turkey for adventure travel.

For instance, did you know that Turkey has one of the highest paragliding take-off sites in the world? Babadag Mountain, near Fethiye, offers paragliding off of a thrilling 1960 meters above sea level!

Beyond that, you can take a balloon ride over the famous Ephesus site for a very unique perspective of this ancient city. Water lovers will enjoy scuba diving at night in Bodrum, where you can dive into the Graveyard of Ships. Or, the holiday-classic activity, white water rafting, but in the extreme rapids of the Köprülü Canyon near Antalya.

15. Turkey Is Safe To Travel In

With all the bad reputation that this country has (mostly in the past now!), you might be wondering, ‘Is Turkey safe?. Understandably, safety is a priority during your trip visit to Turkey, especially when traveling solo or with your family.

SJ told me that whenever she visits, she finds the country to be full of friendly people who always want to help, and she feels genuinely safe. She even bragged about walking alone at night without worry.

Tourist destinations, such as the Turkish Riviera, Istanbul, or Cappadocia, are especially safe. However, normal and everyday precautions should always be taken, just like in any other place in the world.

Many guides tell you that the southeastern part of Turkey is better avoided due to the rising violence and crime – but we disagree and are writing about that soon. For sure, the Iraqi and Syrian borders must also be avoided; do not be tempted to go even with a local guide.

16. Istanbul Is A Great Weekend City Break

For those who live in Europe or neighboring Asian countries, Istanbul is an amazing city break for your weekend adventures. The International Airport in Istanbul has fantastic connections with the rest of the world, adding to one of the many reasons why you should visit Turkey.

Although this vibrant, culture-rich city has so much to see that you could stay there for months, the highlights can be ticked off during your quick weekend trip to Turkey.

The highlights you could focus on include the largest covered market in the world – the Grand Bazaar, the 6th century Hagia Sophia mosque, or the Bosphorus Bridge that connects Europe and Asia.

To make things easier for you, you could join an Istanbul Tour and learn all you need to know about Turkey from a knowledgeable local guide. If you have more than two days, then you can take a day trip to the nearby Bursa or the unique Polish village of Polonezköy.

17. Turkey Has 82,693 Mosques To Discover

In case you fall in love with the Hagia Sophia or the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul and want to explore more mosques – there are 82,691 more in the country! But the majority of them – over 3,100 are in Istanbul.

Turkey is famous for its impressive mosques. They are places of worship in Islam, the predominant religion of Turkey. The mosques are breathtaking pieces of art, with their magnificent tall towers rising over the stunning domes that cover the prayer hall. Inside, they boast a large, open communal space that, in most cases, is open to all visitors, no matter their religion.

A mosque worth visiting is the Grand Çamlıca Mosque in Istanbul, which is also the largest mosque in the country. The Selimiye Mosque, found in Edirne, is believed to be one of the most beautiful mosques in Turkey.

The Kocatepe Mosque in the capital – Ankara, has towers so large that they can be spotted from anywhere in the city. Mahmud Bey Mosque in Kasaba is a unique mosque, as it is constructed largely out of wood.

When visiting mosques, remember the right etiquette. You must wear modest clothing, and women should cover their heads (single-use head scarves are often available upon entry), shoes must be removed, and never enter a mosque during prayer times.

18. It Is Still Largely Undiscovered, Making It An Ideal Destination For Off-The-Beaten-Path Travel

Hiking Kaçkar Mountains

Türkiye is a vast country, and only a small part of it actually gets visited, making it an incredible destination for those who like to travel to off-track places. Although less convenient than the touristy places, venturing off the beaten track in Turkey comes with having unique experiences and seeing some stunning, untouched landscapes.

The Eastern side of Turkey, on the Asian continent, is where you will find the most hidden gems. Also called the Eastern Anatolia Region, it is a wild and rugged region and home to ancient towns and temples, historic caves, and so much more.

This area is a blend of Turkish and Kurdish cultures and is influenced by the nearby Caucasus countries, showcasing a completely different face of Turkey that is largely unknown.

If you’re up for a challenging but fascinating trip in Turkey, visit the Kaçkar Mountains for excellent hiking or adventure water sports opportunities. Tucked among the untamed peaks are 1,000-year-old churches and reminders of when this region belonged to the Kingdom of Georgia.

Just off the shores of the Black Sea in Northern Turkey lies Amasya. A small town with over 7,500 years of history, it boasts impressive Ottoman architecture cut into rugged mountains.

Dogubayazit is a small town set in the high altitudes near Mt. Ararat, the snow-capped, double-cone volcano. My Aunt, who lives there, told me that it is believed to be the resting place of Noah’s Ark, and it is a heaven for mountain climbers and hikers.


19. Turkey Is The King Of Nuts

Baklava - Bakery & Sweets In Istanbul

Turkey is famous for its variety of nuts. Pistachios are the centerpiece of many Turkish sweets, such as hazelnuts – commonly used in baklava. Roasted chestnuts are popular street food snacks, walnuts are used in many dishes, and almonds are cultivated in many parts of the country.

Hazelnuts, in particular, are super important for Turkish cuisine, culture, and economy. Turkey cultivates and processes most of the world’s hazelnuts. They are exported all over the world to be used in chocolate, spreads, or coffee. If you can, try the hazelnut butter or the Turkish version of peanut butter!

The farms can be found scattered along the coast of the Black Sea in northern Turkey, where you will also find tonnes of nuts available to purchase for a cheap price.

Almond is another nut variety cultivated in Türkiye. They are known to have a sweet and mild taste and are often used in baking. In fact, Turkish delight and halva are made out of almonds. This definitely adds to the reasons why foodies should visit Turkey!

20. To Try The Turkish Signature Drink: Raki

Turkish Raki - What to buy in Turkey

Although Turkey is an Islamic country, visiting Turkey doesn’t have to mean no alcohol consumption. Unlike other Muslim countries, Türkiye has a more secular approach to governance where alcohol consumption is legal and often enjoyed in social settings; regardless, many Turks choose to abstain.

The fact that Turks are more open to alcohol than other countries is due to the reforms during Ataturk’s rule that aimed to modernize and secularize the country.

Raki goes through an interesting process when being made. It is distilled two to five times from grapes before it gets re-distilled with aniseed, giving it a unique, strong flavor. It often contains 40-50% alcohol, so make sure to take it slow when enjoying raki in Turkey!

Raki holds a cultural significance in the country and is often referred to as the national drink. You will see locals sip on raki to celebrate important life events or to numb the pain. It is usually drunk with a side of chilled water, often sweetened with brown sugar.

21. There Are Millions Of Stray Cats In Turkey, And They Are Honored By The Locals

This one is for animal lovers who want to visit Turkey. During your visit, you will find cats – lots of cats, everywhere. In Istanbul alone, there are thought to be over 125,000 homeless cats roaming the narrow, cobblestone streets or hiding in the nooks of the mosques.

Some cats even climb tree trunks and camouflage between the high branches of trees in the city’s green areas. They have been doing so for millennia.

Turkish cats, unlike other cats, are affectionate and unflinching.

They are also very cheeky and will sneak into your room! This happened to me in my guesthouse in Bursa, where I left the window open for the night and got woken up by not one but three cats making my room their shelter for the night! (So, if you’re not too fond of cats – make sure to close your windows and doors tightly!)

As it is common in Muslim cultures, cats in Turkey are honored. You will see locals feeding stray cats, nursing them if needed, and giving them love. This is just another reflection of the beautiful Turkish hospitality!

SJ’s son Vladimir took many cat pictures on his trip; here is one of them – cute, right?

As of October 2023, a Cat Museum opened in Istanbul, dedicated to the special bond of the felines and people of Turkey.
