Take a Dip in Thermal Hot Springs in Pamukkale The terrace pools filled with milky mineral waters look surreal in pictures and more dreamlike in person. The white mineral deposits make it look as if you\u2019re stepping on a snow-covered hill, but the tepid water will tell you otherwise. This is one of the most epic places to visit in Turkey. Spend an afternoon soaking, splashing and relaxing in these unique springs. And when your fingers have turned pruney, head to the top of the hill where you can explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. How to get there: You can catch an overnight bus from Istanbul to Denizli, which will take about 12 hours. From Denizli, you will need to get on a minibus to complete the 30 min drive to Pamukkale. Both Pamukkale Bus Company and Metro Bus Company offer regular routes between the two cities. Another option would be to take the bus from a city on the coast, such as Antalya. Where to Stay in Pamukkale: We found the best hotel prices on Agoda while staying in Pamukkale. The Pamukkale Melrose viewpoint suites and the Ayaoam Hotel both have good reviews and are in a decent location in proximity to the center of town. 2. Hike through the Valley of Love Viewing the landscape of Cappadocia from a hot air balloon is mesmerizing, but so is getting up close and personal with the flowers and rock formations that dot the region\u2019s valleys. And speaking of rock formations\u2026 the ones in Love Valley resemble\u2026 ummm&#8230; well, let\u2019s just say it\u2019s called \u201cLove Valley\u201d for a reason. Pack a picnic lunch and wear sturdy shoes for this little day trip, where you\u2019ll likely be amongst just a handful of other hikers.&nbsp; How to get there: If you\u2019re staying in G\u00f6reme in the Cappadocia region, Love Valley is a quick 15 min cab ride outside of the city. 3. Go Underground in the City of Derinkuyu The Cappadocia region of Turkey is known for its \u201cfairy chimney\u201d cave dwellings, making it one of the most unique places to visit in Turkey, but what lies beneath the surface is just as impressive. Cappadocia was one of the earliest Christian settlements, and to avoid persecution, many people lived underground. We\u2019re talking thousands. Imagine doing some renovations to your house and finding a hidden doorway to lead to the largest underground city is Turkey. That is exactly how Derinkuyu was discovered in 1963. The underground city, which is large enough to have sheltered 20,000 people together with their livestock, has since been excavated.&nbsp; Tourists can wander through the narrow tunnels and passageways and see the labyrinth of cave systems that include places for livestock, churches and wineries. They really did have everything they needed under the earth\u2019s surface!&nbsp; How to get there: The city of Derinkuyu is just a 45 min drive from G\u00f6reme (in the Cappadocia region). Buses and even taxis will take you there for a day of exploration. 4. Go Paragliding over \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz Paragliding is perhaps the closest you can get to the feeling of flying without actually sprouting wings. \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz gained fame when Daniel Craig ran off a cliff in the movie Skyfall. If James Bond can do it, so can we! Err\u2026 right? Make like James Bond and give paragliding a try in this picturesque seaside town. If soaring above the lush cliffs that hug the Mediterranean isn\u2019t adventurous enough for you, you can ask your guide if you can pilot for an extra adrenaline rush! This was a first for both of us, and I think it\u2019s safe to say we were spoiled by the views. How to get there: We took a bus from nearby Antalya, a resort town on the south coast. It was about a 4-hour trip and costs us about $30 USD. You can book a paragliding tour with Get your guide which includes an experienced instructor, transportation and extreme sports insurance. Our Note: We had a great time seeing \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz from above and think it is one of the most beautiful places to go paragliding in the world. That said, we didn\u2019t love the town itself. We found it to be extremely touristy, overpriced and dare we say\u2026 trashy. We definitely weren\u2019t feeling the vibe, and it was the only town in Turkey we actually disliked. If you are in the south of the country and want to paraglide, we would highly recommend making a stop there to go paragliding over these blue waters, but not for much longer than a day. Another spot to go paragliding in Turkey is in Alanya, on the southern coast. There are plenty of and is worth a spot while traveling around Turkey.&nbsp; 5. Explore Magical Butterfly Valley Wander amongst wildflowers, fruit trees and wild goats in this enchanted valley that will have you wondering if you\u2019ve stepped into a storybook paradise that\u2019s been frozen in time. Just a kilometer from the ocean, you\u2019ll find a tumbling waterfall framed by boulders and flowering trees. And if you get bored of wandering, relax on the pebble-strewn beach that is lapped by crystal blue waters. Have I sold you on this dreamy paradise yet? How to get there: To enter Butterfly Valley, you must either climb down from the village above using ropes and a bit of rock climbing prowess. If you\u2019re no mountaineer, you can reach the valley via a 20-minute boat ride from \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz. The water taxi leaves the main beach in \u00d6l\u00fcdeniz twice each day, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and returns at 1 p.m.&nbsp;and 5 p.m. If you want to spend the night in Butterfly Valley, bring a tent, or stay in the very basic accommodation in the valley. 6. Roast Marshmallows over the Eternal Flame of the Chimera The quiet seaside town of Olympos is known for its ruins, a laidback pebbly beach and the eternal flames called the Chimera. This groupings of flames burns naturally in the Cirali mountains [&hellip;]"}
