Most avid travelers have Turkey on their traveling bucket list. Rightly so because Turkey is unbelievably beautiful and has some of the most delicious food in the world. Let’s not even get started on the many historical sites that give you a glimpse of the forgotten eras.

Apart from these invigorating experiences, Turkey has some more bizarre activities to engage in. So when you’re looking for things to do in Turkey, you can give them a whirl.

In this article, we’ll highlight four unusual activities you can get into while visiting Turkey. That way, you can have something to talk about when you get home from your trip to Turkey.

1. Do Some Camel Wrestling Betting

It sounds outrageous, but it’s entirely true. You get to put your money where your mouth is while you watch camels brawl it out.  Betting on camels wrestling is a common practice in Turkey.

Now you’re probably wondering why the camels would wrestle in the first place. Unsurprisingly, the camels fight for a female’s attention. So there’s nothing barbaric about this.

We don’t encourage gambling, but betting on camels wrestling is something you don’t want to miss. The event is lively with the locals singing and dancing and involves a lot of Raki.

2. Watch Some Oil Wrestling

Watch men smothered in oil do some grueling and very slippery wrestling. Unlike camel wrestling, you don’t have to bet on this one, but you can always bet on the less oily man.

Now imagine this, strong beefy shirtless men in leather shorts or trouser wrestling. The winner is the one who can limit the movement of his opponent in under 40 minutes. It’s very exhilarating and sometimes hilarious too.

Surprising fact, oil wrestling in Turkey is a centuries-old practice with much respect for it. The winner receives admiration from the locals and, of course, the attention of all the gorgeous ladies in the locality.

3. Do Some Skiing

The first thing that comes to most people’s minds when they think about Turkey is the brown sandy beaches. Surprisingly, Eastern Turkey has its fair share of snow. So don’t forget your ski gear on your visit to Turkey.

Also, Mount Erciyes is pretty picturesque, so snap a few photos and grow your social media fame.

4. Religious Pilgrimage Is Among the Things to Do in Turkey

Trace the roots of Christianity in a pilgrimage to Antakya to see St. Peter’s Church. Then later, check out some ancient caves that used to act as churches in the distant past.

For a more memorable pilgrimage, consider getting a private tour. You can arrange your private tour when you visit turkey by clicking on this link.

Turkey Is a Place Like No Other

With so many things to do in Turkey, you need to arrange a trip for you and your family ASAP. Just remember to get a private tour to enrich your experiences in Turkey. Lastly, don’t forget to tell all your family and friends about your Turkey experience, so they too can consider visiting Turkey.
