For Photography Enthusiasts: 7 Places to Take Photos in 7 Regions of Turkey
Turkey harbors different natural beauties in every region from east to west, north to south. This increases the chance of capturing unique photo frames. In this article, we will share 7 places where you can take the best photos from 7 regions of Turkey.
1st Marmara Region: Istanbul-Balat
Balat, famous for its colorful buildings, is one of the oldest and historical districts of Istanbul. It is one of the most frequented neighborhoods for those who want to take photos in Istanbul. With both modern and historical buildings, it has almost all contrasts together. If you want to see those colorful buildings, you can go to Kiremit Street. Also, that pink building between two streets that we often see on Instagram is also in Balat! To find this centrally located building, you can ask locals where Sancaktar Yokuşu is located.
2. Central Anatolia Region: Cappadocia - Fairy Chimneys
Cappadocia, which is very popular especially in winter, is one of the most beautiful places to take photos in Turkey. The most popular activity to do here is of course a balloon tour. You can take great photos while watching the unique view of the city on a balloon tour.
3rd Mediterranean Region: Isparta - Lavender Gardens
Kuyucak Village, which no one even knew its name a few years ago, has become very popular with its lavender gardens. In the lavender gardens, which are flooded with tourists, lavender begins to bloom in early June, so we recommend that you go to the lavender gardens especially in late June - early July. A purple visual feast will be waiting for you when you go, don't forget to take lots of photos!
4th Black Sea Region: Artvin - Karagöl
Located on the border with Georgia, Artvin has a unique beauty with its green nature, clean air and plateaus. There are many places to visit and see for nature lovers. Especially from the pier on Karagöl, you can watch the unique view and take great photos by riding canoes. We recommend you to visit Karagöl, which has a beautiful view in every season, especially in the fall.
5th Southeastern Anatolia Region: Gaziantep - Rumkale
Rumkale is one of the must-see destinations in Gaziantep. Located at the confluence of the Euphrates River and Merzimen Stream, the castle is also known as the historical pearl of the Euphrates River. We can say that St. Nerses Church and Barşavma Monastery are among the must-see places in the castle. Since Rumkale is located on a peninsula, you can go here by boats departing from Halfeti district of Şanlıurfa.
6th Aegean Region: Ayvalık - Cunda Island
Although the island's inhabitants are Turks, the Greek architecture still lingers on Cunda Island. You can take lots of photos and immortalize your memories at Aşıklar Hill, which has the best view of the island, Panaya Church, Despot House with an interesting story and cobblestone streets.
7th Eastern Anatolia Region: Ishak Pasha Palace - Agri
Built by the Ottoman Empire during the Tulip Period, Ishak Pasha Palace is one of the important architectural structures of the city. Today, it has become a preferred location for wedding photographs. You can climb to the top of Urartu Castle to capture the whole of Ishak Pasha Palace from the outside and get great shots.
