Must-visit Attractions in Turin, Italy

Mole Antonelliana

The tall pointed structure of Mole Antonelliana is the highest point of the Turin skyline and a symbol of the city. It was built in148 and is now the National Museum of Cinema. But the real draw is the viewing platform at the top of the building, which offers amazing views of the city and mountains beyond.

Piazza Castello (卡斯特罗广场)

In the heart of the historic centre of Turin is Piazza Castello, which hosts two major Baroque structures—Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Madama (夫人宫). Palazzo Reale was originally built in the 16th century, and underwent modification in the late 17th century. Palazzo Madama dates from 1003 and is now home to the Museo Civico d’Arte Antica, which has a remarkable collection of paintings from the medieval, Renaissance and baroque periods.

Basilica di Superga (苏佩尔加大教堂)

The Basilica di Superga was built in the 18th century on the Superga hill with stunning views over the city and wider landscape. From here you can see peaks (顶峰) of the Alps such as Monviso and Doufour peak.

Parco del Valentino

Located on the west bank of the River Po that runs through the city, Parco del Valentino makes for lovely walks. The park is also home to the Castillo del Valentino—one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy.

The Secret Side of Southern Gulfs in Türkiye

Türkiye’s southern coast is beautified with vacation spots in villages, beaches, and bays with ancient ruins. So if you’re a traveler keen on trips on the water, here are some spots worth checking out.

Starting from the fishing town of Yalikavak on the northwest tip of the Bodrum Peninsula (半岛), head south to Gümüslük. The 60-mile gulf is home to world-famous Bodrum. East of Bodrum, Orak Island is a good spot for diving. Further east is Cökertme, a fishing village. Continuing further east into the gulf is hidden-away Akbük Limani, a peaceful bay with a beach lapped by blue-green water.

Gulf of Hisarönü to the south of the Gulf of Gökova is bordered by an ageless landscape of rocks, hillsides and collapsed ruins. Across the gulf on its own peninsula is pretty waterfront town Bozburun, known for its honey, fishing and traditional boat builders.

Rounding the southern tip of the gulf and sailing a short distance east, you’ll reach the attractive dock (码头) of Bozuk Bükü guarded by the ruins of a castle. The remains of the ancient city of Loryma can also be traced on the slopes (斜坡) surrounding the bay. A short distance east, Serçe Limani is a peaceful bay, while Gerbekse is a similarly secret hideaway with ruins of an ancient church and blue water, only accessible by boat.

Backed by mountains and surrounded by thick forest, the Gulf of Fethiye is home to 12 islands and innumerable bays. Fethiye, once the ancient city of Telmessos and now one end of the 335-mile Lycian Way hike, is a busy harbor in its own protected bay. Of those 12 islands, Tersane, is the largest. It’s an attractive spot with a harbor, ruins of former city and goats.
