Hello @thijsvermeer. The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul is certainly a bustling marketplace. Turkey may be far away from The Netherlands, but it's an international destination that's worthwhile to explore. If shopping, culture, and history are your fancy, you'll surely love it there just as I did. Warm regards. 😊

I’ve been to Turkeys a few times, that was the Antalya area. We’ve seen a few historical sites near the coastline and enjoyed a hamam and had some great tea in local tea shops. But I would love to explore much more of Turkey’s history. One of the places in Turkey I would also like to explore is Göblekli Tepe. Although I think is pretty hard to get there now.
Oh, wonderful! I've also been to Antalya and it's well known as a Turkish resort city. If so, we've got something in common to talk about then, haha. In fact, the country of Turkey has plenty of historical sites, gastronomic delights, shopping hubs, and cultural attractions in other communities, not just Istanbul. No wonder international tourists would never get bored in revisiting this fantastic destination on several occasions.
As you mentioned, Göblekli Tepe is another popular archaeological site there as well. That would surely be an interesting place to explore. If there's one major spot that I've never been to yet, that would be the Cappadocia region where you get to experience a thrilling ride on a hot-air balloon plus discover impressive rock formations. Hope travel restrictions in the near future would not be that rigid. 😊
