Turkey attractions

Turkish artist and musical icon Zeki Müren is the subject of this eponymous museum, housed in the late singer’s 2-story Bodrum home. Inside, fans can admire many of his elaborately designed stage costumes, browse photographs and memorabilia that span his long career, and see the artist’s original furniture, personal belongings, paintings, and classic car.

Famous for Ortahisar Castle, the castle-like rock formation that looms 295 feet (90 meters) above the town, Ortahisar—which translates to “Middle Castle”—sits at the heart of Cappadocia. Still largely overlooked by day-trippers and tours, the striking lookout point remains one of the region’s most underrated attractions.
