Please Share Turkey Tourism Experience

Our family will be visiting Turkey and really want to hear from people who have already visited Turkey. Please share and do let me know how did you like it and what are best destinations which should be visited must for a family of 3 kids and 2 adults.

We would be staying in Turkey for full 2 weeks and can not go beyond two weeks so from which city should we start and which attractions should be visited at the end of this 2 weeks trip to Turkey.

Hi. Turkey is a very beautiful and captivating place and all touristic spots are worthy to see. There are a lot of places/provinces/regions in Turkey and I can say that almost all of them boast with stunning places to see. I assume that Istanbul would be part of your trip, for Istanbul is the most popular place in Turkey. Being the capital, the scenic, touristic, shopping, and food destination there seems endless. What struck me the most, and I would like to share, would be Hagia Sofia. It has the most wonderful architecture in Istanbul, in my opinion. Its relevance in the country's architecture, history, and culture makes it one of the most visited places there. If you have limited time to see all the wonders and touristic destinations of Turkey, then head to Miniaturk instead. It is a park of miniature attractions of Turkey gathered in one place. It is like touring the whole of Turkey when you go there. If you are into shopping, you must not miss Kapala Carsi. It is the biggest bazar in Turkey (or in the whole world?). It houses almost 4,000 shops and one day to tour this bazar is not even enough! There are interesting local restaurants too, and I would suggest to stir away from fancy restaurants that charge too expensive for tourists, but instead ask the friendly locals on where the authentic, local cuisine is.

Aside from Istanbul, there are also other Turkey regions that have equally great and beautiful places to visit like the Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Adana, Gaziantep,Antalya, Bodrum, etc. if you have sufficient time, it is also nice to take a look on these Turkey regions.

Enjoy Turkey!
