Optional excursions in Turkey. Which one to choose and where to go?

Holiday in Turkey is not only a great tan and long hours spent in the warm sea. It is also a chance to see something extraordinary. Something that will be remembered. When it comes to sightseeing, monuments and all kinds of optional excursions, Turkey is an undisputed leader. Even one month  holidays will be not enough to see everything that Turkey has to offer . But not everyone has such a busy tour schedule. Some people decide for two or three optional excursions. Rest of their time they spend on the beach, resting.

Where to go and what to see in Turkey?

The selection of optional excursions is enormous. Although the word enormous does not really reflect reality. It does not matter if we are on a weekly, two-week or longer stay. We can easily find suitable trips for ourselves. It all depends on where our hotel is and what we want to see.

Let’s start with the most popular destinations:

• Pamukkale – a trip to the white terraces. The terraces were formed by limestone hot springs. Pamukkale is beautiful. It is true that there are often a lot of tourists there, but everyone will find a place for themselves. Important notice – the sun in Pamukkale is sunk from above and below. It perfectly reflects from white terraces. So it’s worth remembering about proper protection from the sun. Here you can book an express Pamukkale tour (without shopping).
• Cappadocia – a magical landscape. If you want to see the landscape created by volcanoes you must go to Cappadocia. There, you can also see famous boulders resembling mushrooms, fly a balloon, see an amazing caravan stop. If you want to spend the night in a hotel carved in rock during a visit to Cappadocia, this offer will certainly interest you.
• Manavgat, Aspendos and Side – three ancient cities. Visiting these three great places you can see the monumental Theater of Aspendos, the city of slave traders, the temple of Apollo, and the Waterfall of Manavgat. It is really worth going on this optional trip. It is known as M.A.S and you can book it here.

Of course, these three optional excursions are not even a small part of what Turkey has to offer. However, these are three mandatory places that are really worth visiting during the holidays. You can visit them during breaks in sunbathing. And it is worth remembering that each stay in Turkey should start with a visit to the hammam. Of course, if you care for great tan.
