What are the places off the trail in Turkey? If you are going to Turkey for the next time in a row, then you can consider visiting places that are not on the beaten track. Ankara appears on this list, for example. Although it is the capital of Turkey, tourists rarely visit it. And it is worth checking out to see the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations , which will appeal to enthusiasts of ancient history. Connoisseurs will also like the ruins of ancient Troy with a wooden replica of the Trojan horse. The city of Ani , or rather what is left of it, is located right on the border with Armenia. Ruins and stunning landscapes are a pleasant change from seaside resorts filled with large hotels.
