Beyond Istanbul: Why You Should Explore Turkey’s Other Cities

While Istanbul is Turkey’s most famous city, the country offers many other
breathtaking destinations. From the ancient ruins of Ephesus to the beautiful coastal
city of Antalya, travelers can experience a diverse range of landscapes, history, and
culture.

Ankara, the capital, is home to the impressive Atatürk Mausoleum and the Museum
of Anatolian Civilizations, making it a must-visit for history buffs. Izmir, often called
Turkey’s “Pearl of the Aegean,” boasts vibrant nightlife, a stunning coastline, and
access to ancient sites like Ephesus.

For those looking for nature and adventure, Rize in the Black Sea region offers lush
green tea plantations and breathtaking mountain scenery. Gaziantep, on the other
hand, is a paradise for food lovers, famous for its baklava and rich culinary traditions.
