The Hagia Sophia Mosque is famous for its exterior as well as its interior. The Hagia Sophia contains more than 100 columns, many of which were imported from the Greek Temple of Artemis. The sheer size and scale are difficult to describe – it’s really something you’ve got to see with your own eyes! Address: Sultan Ahmet, Ayasofya Meydanı No: 1, 34122 Fatih/İstanbul, Turkey.

Cappadocia
Cappadocia is now a prime tourist destination and one of the best places to visit in Turkey. There are a number of underground cities in Cappadocia, some connected by a network of tunnels. Some painted figures have had their eyes scratched out by superstitious locals afraid of the Evil Eye. You can have 1-hour balloon ride and it truly was a bucket-list travel experience and one of the most awesome things to do in Cappadocia. The nearest airport to Cappadocia is Nevsehir (NAV). However, there are better options for getting to Cappadocia. MetroTurizm operates a bus from Ankara to Göreme 4 times a day and the journey takes 4h 41m.
Pamukkale
The pool is set amid a gorgeous garden, and a teahouse is adjacent. Pamukkale is most pleasant once the crowds of summer have departed, but temperatures have not yet plummeted. The travertines open from 6:30 AM to 8 PM every day in the summer. The entrance fee to the area is 110 TRY. We recommend flying to Antalya (AYT) Airport, which is 186.9 km away from Pamukkale. The bus via Antalya (AYT) from Antalya (AYT) to Pamukkale takes 3h 43m.
The Blue Mosque
The mosque is known as the Blue Mosque because of blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design. The mosque closes for 90 minutes at each pray time. Avoid visiting a mosque at pray time. Place the fabric cover on top of your head with equal portions hanging on both sides. Since this is a place of worship, avoid staring or taking picture of those who are praying.
