Turkey: Things To Do

Ride in a hot air balloon Cappadocia
If you're an early riser or someone who would love to watch the sun rise, this sky adventure should be on your bucketlist. Getting up at the crack of dawn you'll join the air balloon to experience breathtaking views, a once in a lifetime experience. If you're afraid of heights, you can opt for an early breakfast instead and watch the hot air balloons rise up into the lightening sky from where you are. Having the balloons filling the beautiful scenery offers a perfect photo opportunity, so many visitors will want to experience both.
Swim in the pools of Pamukkale
Pamukkale translates to “Cotton Castle” in Turkish. The waters from the hot spring range from 35°C to 100°C and there is a total of 17 hot springs for you to choose from. The public travertine pools and Cleopatra Pool is recommended for swimming in.
Nemo Submarine Tours
