Best national parks in Turkey
Turkey’s national parks are as often historical landscapes as wild ones. Goreme, in Cappadocia, is the clearest case: valleys of eroded tuff, rock-cut churches in the open-air museum, and the dawn balloon flights that have become the region’s main business; walking the Rose, Red and Pigeon valleys is free. On the Aegean, the Dilek Peninsula near Kusadasi has pine forest running down to pebble coves and a canyon walk, and Marmaris park wraps the bay of the resort.

The south-west has Saklikent, a gorge eighteen kilometres long that you wade into, a standard excursion from Fethiye, best from May when the snowmelt has dropped. Altinbesik, in the Taurus near Antalya, is a cave with an underground lake visited by boat in the dry months. Uludag, above Bursa, is a ski mountain reached by one of the world’s longer cable cars, and the Altindere valley near Trabzon holds the Sumela monastery, clinging to a cliff in Black Sea forest. Fees are low and paid at the gate; a museum pass covers some sites.
