Bosphorus Strait
Experience the natural scenery of the Bosphorus Strait, also known as the Istanbul Strait. Taking a boat trip is a joyful activity; basking in the sun on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, and watching the ever-changing scenery. You will see lush forests, simple villages, noble villas, as well as beautiful palaces like Dolmabahce Palace and Ciragan Palace, and historical sites including the Rumeli Fortress.
Hagia Sophia
Hagia Sophia has a history of over 1700 years. Before the construction of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, it was the largest church in the world. During the 916 years of the Roman Empire's rule, Hagia Sophia served as the main cathedral, and all emperors were crowned here. It is definitely worth a visit inside!
Blue Mosque
The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, is one of the world's top ten wonders. It was built in 1609 and designed by the famous Turkish architect Sinan. Sinan's architectural skills were remarkable; the Blue Mosque was constructed without using a single nail and has withstood several earthquakes without collapsing. The mosque has 260 small windows, and its interior walls are decorated entirely with blue and white tiles. Here, one can experience a rich Buddhist culture.
Cappadocia
Cappadocia, located in central Turkey, is renowned for its fairy-tale-like dotted rock formations: fascinating rock structures, caves, and historical relics of semi-secluded communities. Departing before dawn, you ascend with the hot air balloon, and as the sky gradually brightens, the scenery on the ground awakens, presenting a natural movie. This is a recommended hot air balloon company: Butterfly Balloons.
