The Blue Mosque is one of Turkey’s most awe-inspiring sights. Built in the early 1600s, this UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of 6 minarets, and an interior made up of 20,000 hand-crafted ceramic tiles. Beautifully lit at night, the mosque is one attraction that can’t be looked over on any visit to Istanbul.

Near the modern city of Antalya, the ancient city of Perge is an exciting day out for history buffs of all ages. One of the oldest cities in Turkey, you’ll discover ruins dating back to the 3rd century B.C. Later ruled over by the Romans, highlights include an amazingly well-preserved theatre, bath house, and agora.

Another ancient city, Ephesus, makes for a fascinating visit near Turkey’s Aegean coast. Built in the 10th century B.C., the city is home to the Temple of Hadrian, and the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World – a must-see attraction near the vibrant city of Izmir.
