In today’s edition of “Turkiye’s Most Fascinating Travel Destinations”, we travel to:
These spectacular destinations are a blend of both natural and cultural significance, also known as “mixed” UNESCO World Heritage Sites. As of 2022 Turkiye boasts the following two sites (as listed above) we are about to introduce.
Deriving from springs in a cliff almost 200 m high overlooking the plain, calcite-laden waters have created at Pamukkale (Cotton Palace) an unreal landscape, made up of mineral forests, petrified waterfalls and a series of terraced basins. At the end of the 2nd century B.C. the dynasty of the Attalids, the kings of Pergamon, established the thermal spa of Hierapolis. The ruins of the baths, temples and other Greek monuments can be seen at the site.

Hotel Sahin is only 300 m from the Pamukkale Travertines which is a preservation area of UNESCO.
The hotel has our vote for the best budget hotel in Pamukkale. Plus, it’s just a few steps away from the Hierapolis. Your best room choice is one with a balcony, so you have an unobstructed view.
Cappadocia has made the list of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die—visiting is one of those once-in-a-lifetime type experiences.
An added bonus is the fact that it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In a spectacular landscape, entirely sculpted by erosion, the Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there.

With such a perfect location, namely a view over the Göreme Open-Air Museum, it is almost impossible to ask for more. However, you get much more here. Not only is the service excellent, warm, and friendly, but the meals are also amazing and generous.
An incredibly unique feature is the rooftop bubbles. Irrespective of the temperature, you have a stunning view in a comfortable setting.
When it comes to value for money, the Charming Cave Hotel is a solid bet. It’s not only one of Turkiye’s most charming and unique hotels but also on the money with spacious and cozy rooms.
