Shivali Chawla

I happened to stumble upon Thrillophilia while searching for options for my honeymoon and I believe that it proved to be the best decision. My travel advisor Priyanka was supportive and gave a rational explanation of why Switzerland and Paris were not the ideal choice for our honeymoon during December due to the severe cold and lots of places being shut because of the holiday season. She suggested Turkey and curated a package for us with a very well detailed itinerary. She even gave options of different hotels and the different package costs. We had selected the five star hotel package. Thrillophilia was our one stop shop. Everything was done end to end for us. Shivang from the team was in touch with me throughout and even during the trip was constantly checking up on us. The trip was phenomenal. Our drivers were warm and friendly, our guides well informed and great storytellers and we met some amazing people throughout the trip. Our vehicles were luxury Mercedes cars as promised. The hotels were absolutely breathtaking with their locations and situated right in the city centres. The only one which we didn't like was the one in Cappadocia. But that was a minor hiccup. We had a great time and made memories for lifetime and we'll definitely book with Thrillophilia again for our future trips. Thank you team Thrillophilia and especially Priyanka and Shivang.

It was a great experience from booking to the end of the trip. Our itinerary was Istanbul (2Days) -> Antalya (2D) -> Pammukale 1D trip -> Cappadocia 2D Overall everything was prebooked via thrillophilia and we didn't have to worry about booking it ourselves. In each of the places we had 1 full day tour. In cappadocia we had ATV bike and hot air ballon. Unfortunately due to weather conditions our hot air ballon got cancelled. All the tours were on time, the tour guides were knowledgeable. Food was an issue for us as we were pure vegetarian so only got salads and bread to eat in all places. But we bought our own food from home which was useful. Best experience was with ATV bike ride. You get to run the bike in snowly regions, get to see beautiful valleys of cappadocia and play with snow. Turkey is a beautiful place to visit :)

Professionally managed tour by Thrillophilia and it is worth every rupee that we spent on this vacation. Special thanks to Shivang for support in Visa and Hot air ballon. Arda managed operation well at Turkey. Wonderful country with handsome men & women who are welcoming Indians. Enjoyed Bargaining at Grand Bazaar and spice bazaar. Bosphorus dinner cruise with belly dance and food / drinks is awesome. Antalya beach front with beer and friends is unforgettable. Duden waterfalls and tunnel aquarium was very scenic. Cappadocia Hot air balloon is once in a lifetime experience. Cave hotel at Cappadocia is a lovely experience. We will cherish the memories for long.

Turkey Top Attractions

Izmir Agora

Izmir Agora is an ancient Roman site that is sandwiched between the streets of Kemerati and the hillside of Izmir. It offers a glimpse of the eighty-five years old history of this area when it was earlier known as Smyrna. It was ruined in 178 AD by an earthquake, but later it was renovated as per the order of Marcus Aurelius, who was the Roman emperor.

Ephesus

If you’re looking for one of the best places to visit in Ankara, then Ephesus should be your topmost choice. It is an ancient Roman city port where people sailed to trade the exotic fruits and spices, and it played an important role in spreading Christianity in the first century.

Pergamon Acropolis

This is one of the best places to visit in Ankara and Izmir if you wish to gasp into the historical tales of this city! The Acropolis consists of ruins of an ancient structure, with only the pillars remaining now! The rest of the structure is now located in the Pergamon Museum, and apart from this, Pergamon Acropolis also has an erstwhile theatre, located right at the edge of the cliff!

Kemeralti Market

This is the favorite haunt of the shopping enthusiasts, and you can buy souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones. This bustling bazaar is frequented by both tourists and locals to buy everything under the sun at budget-friendly prices. It dates back to the seventeenth century and is home to eateries, shops, mosques, artisans workshops, tea gardens, coffee houses, and synagogues.

Alacati

Located on the Cesme Peninsula of Turkey, this beach town is extremely popular among the tourists! In fact, the place is an eclectic blend of all things old school and luxurious-, and this makes it one of the top 10 places to visit in Izmir! But the biggest attraction of the town is probably the sports center at the Alacati Marina in the south, which experiences strong winds and due to this many people visit Alacati just to surf there!

Izmir Wildlife Park

Surrounded by lush green trees and beautiful flowers, Izmir Wildlife Park is one of the best places to visit in Ankara for wildlife enthusiasts as well as nature lovers alike. It is spread in around 425,000 square meters and is considered to be one of the largest zoos of Izmir. You can spot over here the rarest species of birds, rare flora and tropical animals.

Konak Pier

Konak Pier is a beautiful seaside pier that has been converted into a dining, shopping and cinema complex to keep the visitors entertained during their visit. It has become the major entertainment hub of the city where you can indulge in all kinds of eventful activities like watching concerts, grabbing some snacks, and stocking up souvenirs for your loved ones. It was designed by the famous architect Gustav Eiffel, and it has become one of the most important landmarks of Izmir.

Church of St Polycarp

Church of St Polycarp is the oldest functioning Christian worship site in Izmir, and it was named after the first bishop of Smyrna, St.Polycarp. This 19th-century church acts as the chief center of the Catholic diocese and is one of the finest examples of Ottoman architecture.
