Instagram-style photos: the best places to shoot in Turkey

Türkiye attracts with its diversity and beauty. But in order to get to know her, you need to get out of the resort and ride around the country. Read the article on where and how to take the most Instagrammable photos.

Istanbul

Istanbul is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Turkey . This is where you should first go for new photos and fresh impressions. You can start your review from the historical district of Galata. There are many attractions here, for example the Galata Tower, and there are places to eat while walking.

You should definitely walk to Istiklal Street, where the famous red tram runs. Although it is on the move, it is mainly used by tourists.

And be sure to check out the Grand Bazaar. There are many shops with lamps and carpets, against which you can take very bright photos. True, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to take pictures for free. You need to either buy a lamp, or negotiate with the owner of the store for an acceptable payment.

If you want to brighten up your feed with professional photos, then you should find a Russian-speaking photographer on Instagram in advance. There are quite a lot of them in Istanbul. The photographer will take you to the desired locations, for example, to the roof, around which seagulls are constantly circling. He will also help with outfits and swing on a swing to soar more effectively over the Bosphorus - an additional location on the roof. And he will wake you up early in the morning to take romantic photos of a couple in love on the Ortakoy embankment.

In addition, Istanbul has many beautiful buildings, such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Dolmabahce Palace, which often become the subject of Instagram photos.

Cappadocia

If you've seen everything in the capital, go to Cappadocia - the paradise of hot air balloons. Here, over the valley between Gorime and Chuvashin, hundreds of multi-colored charliers and mangolfiers take to the air almost every day. The most convenient vantage points for viewing are at the top of Sunset Hill, in the Valley of Love and on the slopes of the rocky Uchisar fortress. The main thing is not to forget to take a photo out of delight.

Gyorime

Hotel terraces in Gyerim became popular geolocations on Instagram for photos. There are specially equipped photo zones in the Turkish style, and there are balloons in the background.
