OVERVIEW
Turkey is a country that has an abundance of bucket-list adventures, so if you and your new spouse love nothing more than visiting destinations with an abundance of cultural and historical charm, you’ll be in your element in Turkey. Whether you’re keen to kick back and relax on one of the many white-sand beaches, spend an afternoon visiting a heritage site or perhaps visit one of the country’s bustling cities, you’re sure to enjoy a jam-packed itinerary with your other half on your honeymoon.
History buffs are sure to find it fascinating walking the ancient streets of Ephesus, which is still very much intact to this day. You’ll gain a true indication of the day-to-day lifestyle of the Ancient Greeks and Romans who settled here for several centuries. You’ll discover aspects of their local life with structures of schools, temples and even toilets that remain to this day.
In Turkey, it was a tradition for locals to bathe as a community and socialise with one another. This practice is still very much a trend; however, it has become a relaxing and luxurious activity more recently; this is particularly enjoyed by honeymooners. There are various venues across Turkey in which you can undergo the luxury treatment (including the Cemberlitas Hamami) which involves a gentle scrub and massage followed by a soak in the steamy waters. If this very much sounds up your street, you could also indulge in a natural sauna at the Pamukkale Thermal Pools. Dip into the thermal springs of the limestone rocks and allow all your stresses to melt away. The waters are believed to be a miracle cure for illnesses and therefore, tourists travel here from all over the world.
Wake early enough and you’ll witness hundreds of colourful hot air balloons floating in the sky above Cappadocia. If you fancy the expedition yourself, you’ll see some of Turkey’s most jaw-dropping sights, including fantastic rock formations and canyons – and so much more.
