 The fairyland in Turkey


 For more such musings, please visit musetheplace.com

The fairyland in Turkey attracts many tourists every year and enthralls them with its marvel. These “chimneys” are essentially rock formations with a softer core and a harder outer cover which prevents erosion of any kind. Visitors also hop on the hot-air balloon ride and have a magnificent view from top of the area. Turkey as it stands is after-all the ultimate destination for the wanderlust with its unique blend offerings- those of history, culture, architecture, cosmopolitan-verve, religion, being an Ottoman empire seat and even scenic beauty.

The Hagia Sofiya is arguably the most celebrated architectural marvel of the ancient-medieval history. Built about 2000 years ago, the building wins over the tourists even on this date. It was a cathedral from the days of Constantine up until the times of the Ottomans when it was converted into a mosque. The building today serves as a museum giving the onlookers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Turkey. It is worth a visit and especially so if you have a thing for history and culture.!
