Turkey

Turkey is a massive, culturally diverse country that offers incredible value for money. From the historic mosques and bazaars of Istanbul to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia and the turquoise coast, Turkey is packed with sights. The cost of food and local transport is very low, and the quality of hospitality is high. While the currency has been volatile, this often works in favor of international travelers.

It is a destination that rewards curiosity and offers a deep dive into history, religion, and culinary arts at a very accessible price point.
