Ephesus is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the world. It is located near Selçuk in Izmir Province. Ephesus was founded in the 10th century BC and was once a major centre of trade and culture. The Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre are its most famous structures.

Cappadocia, in central Turkey, is famous for its unique fairy chimneys and underground cities. The region was shaped by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago.

Gallipoli: A Place of Remembrance
The Gallipoli Peninsula is located in the northwest of Turkey, in Çanakkale Province. It is one of the most historically significant places in the country. During World War I, the Battle of Gallipoli (1915–1916) took place here. Ottoman soldiers, led by Mustafa Kemal, defended the peninsula against Allied forces.
Today, the Gallipoli Peninsula Historical National Park covers an area of 33,000 hectares. The park contains monuments, cemeteries, and memorials dedicated to the soldiers who lost their lives. Every year on 18 March, thousands of people visit Gallipoli to commemorate the Çanakkale Victory and the Martyrs’ Memorial Day.

Discover Safranbolu!
If you are looking for a place that combines history and natural beauty, Safranbolu is the perfect destination. This charming town is located in Karabük Province, in the Black Sea region of Turkey.
Safranbolu is famous for its well-preserved Ottoman-era houses. The town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994. Walking through its narrow streets feels like travelling back in time. You can visit the old bazaar, try traditional Turkish delight, and enjoy the stunning views from the hills.
I highly recommend visiting Safranbolu in autumn when the colours of the trees make the town even more beautiful. Don’t miss this hidden gem!
