Turkey
Two continents, bazaars and balloon-filled skies
What it's famous for
01
Istanbul's two continents
Ferries shuttle between Europe and Asia while minarets and seagulls trade the skyline.
02
Bazaars & tea culture
The Grand Bazaar's 4,000 shops, tulip-shaped tea glasses and haggling as a friendly sport.
03
Cappadocia
Hot-air balloons over fairy chimneys at dawn — the photo is real, and better in person.
04
Turquoise Coast
Lycian ruins above beaches, gulet cruises and lagoons that named a color.
