For a different perspective, think about viewing the stunning Turkish landscape from the air on a balloon ride above Cappadocia’s awe-inspiring “fairy chimneys”; hike along the ravishing Turquoise Coast; or explore the ancient mountaintop sanctuary of Nemrut Dagi. Then there are numerous reminders of Turkey’s past, from the Roman Acropolis of Ancient Pergamon to the Hittite capital of Hattusa and the Byzantine monastery of Sumela. After all that exploring, don't forget to relax: pamper yourself at a traditional Hamam, or enjoy baklava with a strong black coffee.
