WORLD HERITAGE SITES

Turkey has less places on the World Heritage List than what we at LookLex think is correct. The listing is by date, the first entered in 1985, the last so far in 1998.

Istanbul of course!!! Cappadocia with the Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites.

Divriği with its Great Mosque and Hospital.

Hattusha, the capital of the Hittite Empire.

Nemrut Mountain. Pamukkale / Hierapolis.

Letoon was the centre of the main deity of Lycia, Leto, the unfurtunate second wife of Zeus. In the listing, it is paired with Xanthos the beautiful ancient Lycian city. The two places are reached on daytrip from Antalya, Kaş, Kalkan and Fethiye.

Sefranbolu.

Troy.
