While Turkey is a much-loved holiday destination, many places like Bodrum are struggling with the effects of overtourism. It’s a vast country though, with so much more to explore beyond the usual tourist haunts. We’d love to hear about the off-the-beaten-track gems you’ve discovered on your travels, whether it’s a train ride through less-visited rural areas, a small city with lots to offer, or a coastal resort that would welcome more visitors.
If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
