ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!

If you’re an adventurer traveller, you can be spoilt for choice in Turkey.
Let’s take a look at the notable experiences of some people. The more
you know about it, the more you want to go and try!

Last year, I decided to go to Turkey for holiday because it had been
on my bucket list for a long time. My frst destination was Cappadocia,
which is one of the world’s most beautiful places with its fairy-tale
landscape. Walking through the valleys in “Göreme Open Air Museum”
was an unforgettable experience for me. Flying over this picturesque
view in a hot-air balloon was absolutely mind-blowing. I felt extremely
excited when I went down the underground city in Derinkuyu and really
wondered about how the people used to live here.
