Top 10 Most Searched Travel Destinations

Turkey

Though Istanbul isn’t the country’s capital (that would be Ankara), it is its most famous city, and there’s no wonder why: The Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar; all iconic, even to people who’ve never visited the city.

Once you’ve come back to earth, head down into the region’s ancient underground city. Still haven’t recovered from Istanbul’s chaotic charms? The Turquoise Coast beckons, its rocky shores carved with mysterious Lycian tombs high above the aquamarine waters.
