So, end your day by catching the sunset in Red Valley, which also happens to be my choice for Instagram-worthy spots in Cappadocia. This promises to be the perfect way to end your day before returning to sleep in Ottoman Cave. In order to reach the Red Valley sunset spot, you have to get in a taxi or drive your rented car to “Red Valley Panorama Lookout”.

The public transport in Izmir is great, but for one day in the city it’s beneficial to stay more centrally. However, you can expect a lot of noise overnight, from the early morning calls to prayer to the bin collectors and people drinking in the nearby bars. Once in Izmir, visit the centre of the city, Konak Square, with its iconic clock tower, before heading into Kemeralti, Izmir’s historic bazaar to browse the local products and enjoy a great kebab.

Turkey And Greece Tours

These red hills with rock formations made the sunset landscape look even redder than normal. Seriously, I had to remove the warm tones a bit from my photos to prevent them from looking too red, and I usually do the opposite. It is worth mentioning that on the way to Zemi Valley from Goreme Open Air Museum is a beautiful open-air pottery store that looks out of this world. It has trees decorated with evil eye stones, an alien and a bunch of other amazing things. You don’t have to do the entire Zemi Valley hike, it is long and time-consuming but you can do a part of it.

The Temple of Artemis, Basilica of St. John, Isa Bey Mosque, Ayasoluk Castle, and Ephesus Archaeological Museum among many others. Another way of reaching Selcuk from Pamukkale is by hopping on a bus from Denzili. By now you surely know that Denzili town isn’t far from Pamukkale, so you can get here by taxi. I did see a few travelers who were in the travertine Vacanze Turquia pools in swimsuits but somehow I didn’t feel comfortable since I was traveling in Turkey as a solo female traveler. The trip is short and shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes to half an hour. If you’re lucky to find a direct flight, it shouldn’t take you longer than an hour and 15 minutes but it seems there aren’t any direct flights operating anymore in 2023.
