For many people who visit Turkey, the highly sought-after destination is Istanbul. But as an expat living in Turkey, I saw many other cities in Turkey that I consider hidden gems. One of those cities is Bursa.
Located high up on a hill outside of Antalya city center is Sillyon, one of Pamphylia cities. It was considered one of the wealthiest cities of ancient times, thought to be discovered by heroes of the Trojan War.
Visiting the bustling city of Istanbul is so exciting. My favorite area is located at the Galata Tower offering museums, shops, historical places to visit and so much more.
When visiting the Black Sea region of Turkey, make sure to stop at Unye, Giresun, Tirebolu, Trabzon a Rize. Interesting historical sites, delicious food, and stunning horiculture.
