Turkey is a fascinating country, and there are plenty of different areas to explore. You can start by booking your short-term rentals in Istanbul before travelling to another part of the country. This will enable you to see the many sides of Turkey rather than just restricting yourself to one location.

Traveling in Turkey

It is relatively easy and cost-efficient to get around in the country. One of the most popular options is an overnight coach, which is a convenient way to travel long distances. For the price of your ticket, you also get free tea, coffee and snacks, as well as Turkish films.

Where to travel

If you’ve never been to Turkey before, you’ll want to get the most out of your trip.

Istanbul is the city where the East and West meet. You can do everything from seeing the historic buildings and haggling for a bargain in the bazaars to picking up designer clothes and drinking trendy cocktails.

Cappadocia is a popular region that can be found situated away from the coastal resorts. The volcanic rock formations provide plenty of caves and underground cities to explore. You can also admire the Byzantine churches that are cut into the rocks, including the Church of the Three Crosses, which has some stunning paintings and carvings inside.

If you want to participate in beach activities without the commercial nature of Antalya, the resorts of Kas and Dlayan are ideal. Not only can you sunbathe, but there are also many water sports to enjoy, including diving, snorkeling and kayaking.
