Turkey remains one of our favorite countries to visit, and we add cosmopolitan Izmir to our Turkey bucket list.
Turkey is a beautiful country with tons of attractions. One of the most famous that helped convince us to visit were the famous natural travertine pools in Pamukkale. The travertines, glowing white natural hot pools terraced along a mountainside, are featured in almost every tourist brochure about Turkey. Rightly so. They are amazing.
With only an afternoon to check out the sights and sounds in Istanbul's old city, we tell you how to see the main highlights for yourself in under 6 hours.
