Recommend one place to see in Turkey?
Hi
I hope you don't mind a newbie starting a thread (there seems to be some precedent recently . . .). But there seems to be a lot of knowledge on this forum of different areas of the country, so I was wondering where in Turkey you would recommend a visitor must see before they die type of thing.
I would say Hasankeyf in the south east. We went a couple of years ago, and I thought it was really quite magical. It felt like stepping back many centuries. We had lunch in a cafe that was built on rickity stilts in the River Tigris, while watching the shepherd boy watering his flock on the other bank. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an unspoiled glimpse into what parts of the country still look like.
