National Geographic Traveller Magazine

1 August 2024

This month’s cover story focuses on 22 of Turkey's most unmissable experiences — from stargazing in the western Kaçkar Mountains and long-distance rail journeys through landscapes once traversed by Alexander the Great to the subterranean cities of Cappadocia, the blossoming culinary region of Urla, and Edirne’s age-old oil wrestling festival. Elsewhere, we journey through the parks, wetlands and groves of Valencia, 2024’s European Green Capital; drink up the views in Austria from Carinthia’s lakeside restaurants and lofty mountain trails; explore the influences that have shaped Florida’s sun-soaked capital; and plan itineraries to experience Japan’s urban life, scattered islands and more.
