Turkey Itinerary
Turkey had been one of my bucket list countries for as long as I can remember, but as excited as I was, I was also a little nervous. After all, unlike its European neighbours, Turkey has a very different culture and language, making planning a little bit more challenging.
With little knowledge of what to expect, and 6 days to explore (as part of the leg of another trip) here are my recommendations.
Izmir / Pamukkale
Coming from Switzerland, we took a flight from Basel to Izmir, a city on the west coast of Anatolia and a three hour drive from Pamukkale, an area known for the travertine terraces and hot springs, both of which have become a major attraction for visitors.
