  + stars: | 2024-05-22 | by ( Robert Iddiols | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Konya, Turkey CNN —When most people think of Turkey bucket list destinations, a few obvious ones spring to mind - Istanbul, Turquoise Coast hotspots like Bodrum or the otherworldly landscapes of Cappadocia. As well as being a renowned Islamic scholar, Rumi launched the Mevlevi Order of the Whirling Dervishes. And while they can be seen in various locations across Turkey, Konya is the beating heart of their activities. Abdullah Çetín, a photographer based in Konya, says the city and region’s history is also what puts it on the map. Murat Oner Tas/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesKonya is also a jumping off point for Lake Tuz, a large hypersaline lake that lies about two hours’ drive northeast of the city.

☆ The extraordinary ancient secret places hidden under Turkey
  + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Lisa Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
Less obviously visible but equally impressive are the historical treasures, some more than 12,000 years old, that can be found underground. Unlike the Basilica, this underground chamber was completely forgotten about until less than 15 years ago. Other than locals herding their livestock through the ruins of a garrison city dating to the 6th century, few people went there. Now, the site has given up numerous treasures including rock-cut tombs, an olive processing workshop and a series of underground cisterns. Yeraltı, literally meaning underground, was originally a dungeon in the basement of a fort built by the Byzantines in the 8th century CE.

☆ I moved to Turkey on a whim and now work here remotely full time. I love the low cost of living and don't plan on returning to the US anytime soon.

Jacki Ueng started working remotely in Turkey over the pandemic as a "digital nomad." The flight I booked on Turkish Airlines had a layover in Istanbul, so I decided to go there instead. I work remotely while I travel throughout the country, exploring all its regions and meeting locals. I cringe when people ask how I go on vacation so much, because I'm not on vacation — I'm working wherever I travel. I also fell in love with the owner of that first hostel I stayed in — so that's an extra perk.
☆ I'm a flight attendant for a major airline. We've received more training on de-escalating passengers than ever before.

It's true what they say: to look at the flight attendant if you're scared during a flight. I really never get scared in turbulence — when I'm traveling for leisure, it usually puts me to sleep. I've been working as a flight attendant for a major airline for four years, and you may have seen me from my TikTok account. Second, I share information or tips that travelers wouldn't normally know, like the fact that a flight attendant can't set foot off of a plane if even a single passenger is on board, per FAA regulations. Courtesy of LeahSome days, I'll work five hours, and other days, I'll work 15.
