I never pictured Turkey being a place to visit for outdoor adventures, so this was a nice surprise. My sister was going to visit earlier last year but had to postpone her trip. She really wants to hop on a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. You ranked it as your top outdoor adventure in Turkey. How was your experience? Were you nervous?

We love Turkey and have family over there so we go quite often and have done/ been to most of the places listed. Our family actually lives close to Oludeniz where the paragliding is and we’ve done it a couple of times, really amazing. Love Cappadocia too, it’s unreal!

All of my friends who’d been to Turkey said they love their visits there. Riding in a hot air balloon is one of the things that I must do when I find myself there. Canyoneering looks fun, too. I know the country won’t disappoint me.

You have helped to convince me that we need to head back to Turkey. Hot air ballooning was definitely already on our plans for a return visit. That geothermal pool looks so fascinating piled up like cotton candy. We would definitely head out on the water. And check out what the scuba diving might be like in those beautiful waters. And the Blue Cave sounds great. Some nice things to see in Turkey that aren’t ruins or architecture!

In reply to Anda. Hey Anda, Yeah for sure Turkey has so much to offer all around the country. Don't get us wrong, Istanbul looks amazing but there is plenty to do elsewhere also! We agree that the geothermal pools of Pamukkale are probably one of the coolest things to add to your Turkey Bucket List too!

Great article, Eric! I’ve always wanted to visit Turkey beyond Istanbul, but I didn’t do it in time and now we can’t go anywhere because of this pandemic. My favorite from your list are the geothermal pools of Pamukkale.

Pamukkale was my favorite experience in Turkey, but I’d love to come back to do the hot air balloon!

In reply to Jamie Italane. Yeah, the Kayaking amid the sunken city looks really awesome plus with all the beauty surrounding it would be a fun outdoor activity in Turkey for Sure! I too am personally obsessed with swimming in Hot Springs too, so this is a must for me as well!

I am afraid of horses, so would skip that. I am obsessed with kayaking and natural hot springs and do that wherever I go. I have never been in a hot air balloon ride, but Turkey would be the place to do it!

Lots of great ideas here for when we next get to Turkey! I especially like the idea of canyoneering and the geothermal pools. What fun!

In reply to Sage Scott. Wow, interesting. I have no desire to sky dive or bungee jump but I have no problem floating up. Well I'll send you pics from the hot air balloon. Haha

I’m game for anything that doesn’t pull me away from earth’s gravity (like the hot air ballooning or paragliding). While I’m sure they’re fun, and the views fantastic, this explorer is a bit afraid of heights. 🙂
