Things to Do in Turkey

  • Mardin Located on a strategic hilltop overlooking the plains of Mesopotamia in south-eastern Turkey, Mardin is one of the oldest settlements in the region known for its cultural diversity and sandstone buildings cascading down the hill.
    The maze of meandering streets leads visitors along terraced houses and popular sites like Deyrü’z-Zafaran Monastery, one of the oldest monasteries in the world, and the Sultan Isa Medresesi, a medieval monument that was once an astronomical observatory.
Burj Khalifa
  • Pamukkale Pamukkale is a town in western Turkey that is known for the mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces on a nearby hillside. It neighbours the Hierapolis, an ancient Roman spa city founded around 190 BC. The ruins there include a well-preserved theatre and a necropolis with sarcophagi that stretch for 2 km.
Dubai Mall
  • Topkapi Palace It is the largest palace in Istanbul and was one of the major residences of the Ottoman sultans for almost 400 years (1465–1856) of their 624-year reign. At its peak, the palace was home to around 4,000 people and covered a large area with a long shoreline. It contained mosques, a hospital, bakeries, and a mint.
    The Palace was developed over the course of centuries, with sultans adding and changing various structures and elements. The resulting asymmetry is the result of the erratic growth and change over time.
Atlantis Hotel
  • Bosphorus Strait The Bosphorus Strait is a narrow, natural strait and an internationally significant waterway located in north-western Turkey, which forms part of the continental boundary between Europe and Asia, and separates Asian Turkey from European Turkey. It connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, and, by extension via the Dardanelles, the Aegean, and the Mediterranean Seas.
Desert Safari
  • Hagia Sophia Museum It was a Greek Orthodox Christian patriarchal basilica (church), an imperial mosque later, and now a museum (Ayasofya Müzesi) in Istanbul. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 BC and 537 BC on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. The Byzantine architecture of the Hagia Sophia served as inspiration for many other Ottoman mosques.

Vijay Gupta

I was a little apprehensive to drive in Turkey considering the high rate of road traffic accidents there. I decided to buy international travel insurance from ICICI Lombard. The entire process of buying the plan was simple, the rates were competitive, and the staff was helpful. It was a memorable trip and I didn’t make a claim. However, having travel insurance offered me great peace of mind.

Sumit Nanda

I had to wait for several hours for my flight after the recent terrorist attack at the Ataturk airport. The flight was cancelled and I was worried about my return tickets. Thanks to ICICI Lombard’s international travel insurance, which covered the expenses for cancellation of flight and they helped me to book the return tickets. They saved my day otherwise I would have been in deep trouble.
