Turkey draws tourists from all over the world and is especially popular with European visitors looking to discover the important sites, ancient buildings and experience the exotic culture. Cheap car rental is available in all the major cities and at airports and the roads make travelling around the country simple and stress free.

Istanbul is the tourist capital of the country with many famous attractions to visit. The Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace are the city’s top highlights and the maze of side streets around the Grand Bazaar provides a shopper’s paradise. If you want to try some local foods then head to Istiklal Caddesi, just north of the main bridge.

The best preserved ancient city in Turkey is Ephesus and the Temple of Diana here is international recognised as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Grotto of the Seven Sleepers is a major tourist draw in the city and the marble Arcadian Way is a manmade wonder.

Just outside of Ephesus is Selcuk village where St John Basilica is situated and there is a Byzantine aqueduct to marvel. There are international airports in the capital, Ankara and in Istanbul and Izmir, making entering the country simple, and using cheap car hire in Turkey is by far the most rewarding way to travel around.

The coast is full of pretty beaches and the weather in Turkey is often hot and sunny. The pebble beaches in Antalya make for a great trip and hiring a car makes everywhere in Turkey simple to get to. The Gallipoli battlefields saw bitter fighting during WWI and this area of dense forests is not dotted with great hiking trails.
