Turkey Solo Travel: A Safe and Thrilling Experience Full of Local Charm

Solo travel can be daunting, but Turkey solo travelling is a great place to start. The locals are eager to help visitors experience their country and there's plenty to see and do, from exploring the bazaars of Istanbul to indulging in some Turkish wine in Pergamon.


No trip to Turkey would be complete without seeing the ancient city of Hierapolis, which was built around the area’s natural hot springs in the early second century BC. The ancient thermal spa is a must-see for any history lover, with its submerged Roman columns built in around 190 BC. The milky turquoise pools surrounded by white limestone are simply stunning. The mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces is truly a sight to behold and unlike anything else in the world.


With its Greek origins combined with influences from the east, Istanbul is a melting pot of cultures. This is evident throughout the city, particularly in the architecture of the Byzantine churches and the Grand Bazaar. The city is steeped in history and there's something to suit everyone, whether you're interested in art, shopping or simply want to experience local life.


Antalya is the perfect place to relax after a busy few days. With its Mediterranean coastline, spectacular scenery and vibrant city, it's easy to see why this is one of Turkey's most popular destinations for solo travellers. The gorgeous beaches and lush mountains offer activities ranging from sailing and mountain climbing to sightseeing and sunbathing.
