Turkey

History, hot-air balloons, and turquoise coasts.

Overview

Turkey spans two continents and 10,000 years of civilisation — Istanbul's domed skyline and the Bosphorus, Cappadocia's fairy chimneys and sunrise balloons, and Antalya's turquoise Mediterranean coast and Roman ruins create a destination of extraordinary variety. Turkish Airlines flies directly from multiple African cities, making it an increasingly accessible favourite.

History lovers, honeymoon couples, families, beach travellers, and MICE groups.

Best time to visit

April–June and September–October for Istanbul and Antalya. Spring/autumn for Cappadocia balloons.
