From picturesque beaches and car-free islands to rich historical sites, Turkey provides a diverse range of travel experiences, according to our readers. Among their top recommendations are hidden gems from the Aegean to the Black Sea, including a particularly memorable destination for rice pudding enthusiasts.
Lake Eğirdir, Turkey’s fourth largest lake, is located near the town of Eğirdir, approximately 80 miles north of Antalya. This charming town often serves as a transit point for travelers journeying between the renowned sites of Cappadocia and Pamukkale. However, a longer stay is highly recommended. We spent three nights at Choo Choo Pension on Yeşilada (Green Island), which is linked to the mainland by a causeway. The tranquil atmosphere in April was a highlight of our trip. With local restaurants and shops within walking distance, we enjoyed several relaxing days by the lake. For a memorable dining experience, visit Kroisos Restaurant, which offers excellent food and stunning lake views.
