Destination Turkey: Travel to Turkey

Destination: TURKEY
What is the destination known for?
Turkey is known for being transcontinental, a country spanning more
than one continent. Due to its huge size, Turkey has many cities and
regions and most of them are famous by themselves. Istanbul,
historically known as Constantinople, has been declared as a European
Capital of Culture in 2010. This city is full of history and glimpses of
the Byzantine and Ottoman empires are found everywhere. The region of
Cappadocia is famous for its amazing geographical formations such as
rock cut churches and fairy chimneys as well as its underground cities
that could sustain thousands of people. Pamukkale town is known for its
white travertines and the healing powers of its cascading waters.
Ephesus is the best preserved classical city in the Mediterranean, even
better than Rome itself and it is also where you can see the house in
which Mother Mary spent the last years of her life in Nightingale
Mountain.
How to get there?
There are daily direct flights from Dubai to Istanbul on Emirates and
Turkish Airlines. For budget travelers, FlyDubai has very affordable
fares. Travelling within Turkey is also very convenient with their
efficient train system as well as comfortable buses. Since Turkey is
big, approximately 1700 kilometers from East to West, the best way to
travel internally is through their domestic airlines. Pegasus, Anadolu
Jet, Onur Air and Sun Express are some of the few airlines travelling
domestically.
