The capital of Turkey is not Istanbul

Let's explore Turkey's world-class scenery together. ⛱️Must-visit attractions: Turkey's capital Ankara Located in the northwest of the Anatolian Plateau on the Asia Minor Peninsula of Turkey, it is the second-largest city after Istanbul and is known as the "Heart of Turkey". 🌄Travel tips: There are not many attractions in Ankara, the most recommended are Ankara Castle and the Mausoleum of Atatürk. The Mausoleum of Atatürk is the tomb and memorial of the father of modern Turkey, Kemal Atatürk, and the entrance is free. 🏨Accommodation tips: Divan Cukurhan Antique Hotel near Ankara Castle. This hotel has a quadrangular courtyard structure, but its courtyard is indoors. The biggest feature of the hotel is its particularly antique furnishings, with various antique collections, like a museum. 💗Other tips: Pottery kebab is a gem of traditional Turkish cooking. Meat, vegetables, spices, and thyme are placed in a clay pot and baked, usually served with rice or pita bread, worth trying.
