Traveling elevates and transforms us into a better version of ourselves every time we travel apart from exploring experiences and discoveries about people, the culture around the world, So Why Not!  And this time I gave myself an option of reading pages from vivacious Turkey. Little we knew about the place because of internet, made us more curious and we planned for our trip to Turkey. Hence we decide to get some help from Wizfair, who made everything easy and hassle- free. For our trip to Turkey in January.

The weather of Turkey in January 

Turkey is popular as a summer destination among travelers, but you can visit the country all year round according to your interests, time availability and of course! When your boss grants you leave for the same. If you are not- so fond of traveling in summers, then you can plan tour trip to Turkey in late October, November, December, and January. We chose January because these are the best times, as the temperature is low, usually, weather is pleasant but you may have to bear rainfall and extreme cold temperatures at times, but that’s alright as you don’t have to face much crowd.  Carry woolens and warm dresses, you need to dress- up appropriately here, that’s really important. You will enjoy the snowy landscape of the destination and this is the best way to revel in Christmas New Year celebrations.

Our drive to our hotel from the airport after landing in Istanbul was more than sufficient to mesmerize us with an enormous amount of the beauty of the city, along with relishing a glimpse of enticing river Bosphorus. After getting over rest and sleep, we decided to explore some places in the vicinity. We started with Grand Bazaar, The place is a jumbo shopping house offering elegant traditional showpieces, pretty lamps, and gorgeous outfits.

Our target for the next day was to visit Cappadocia, We woke up early and took our flight to Kayseri. From there we took a cab to travel to Cappadocia. Not wasting any time, we started visiting valleys, we explored Pasabag valley and we were quite impressed by the valley’s beauty, though the place gets overcrowded after a while it is pretty manageable. The instagramable site aids you in vibrant backgrounds to click beautiful pictures. Then we enjoyed Pasabag ‘Fairy Chimney’s” valley tour, it is a historic tour that covers some of the best highlights around Cappadocia. The place is worth a visit, you will definitely love it!

After our delicious breakfast at white house restaurant and café in Pamukkale, we delve into unique experience of hot water of the streams. The thermal water terraces are undeniably a masterpiece that looks so surreal to eyes. These oyster- shell-shaped water terraces and pools are formed by ancient hot springs. We went to explore this huge and very popular open-air theatre of old times. Then we decided to take a stroll on foot on the coastline. We recorded so many breathtaking moments in our cameras and came back to hotel for some sleep.

We woke up around 8 and got ready to explore Ephesus city post-breakfast rituals. The magnificent city was one of the even wonders of the world. The temple of Artemis was originally built by Croesus, king of Lydia, which was reconstructed after being burnt by Herostratus. Well let’s not get into the history we witnessed the copy statue of Famous statue of Artemis, It looks like mummy like goddess standing firm with her hands extended outwards. The original statue was made of gold, silver, and black gold.  We also spent some time in Virgin Mary and finished our day with delicious pasta in dinner on our way back to hotel.

Blue Mosque is one of the most popular attractions in the world so a visit was mandatory no! After we reached Istanbul, we wanted to complete our tour in an exhilarating way. We had our breakfast and started our Istanbul tour. We went to Blue Mosque, the iconic historical attraction is known for its blue tiles surrounding the walls of interior design. So here is advice, visit the mosque in early morning hours and avoid visiting during pray hours. One more advice for you, do not wear shorts to the mosque. We also went to Topakapi palace and Hippodrome and had enough incredible memories to cherish back there at home.
