For an off-the-beaten-path adventure, consider booking flights to Turkmenistan. This central Asian country, bordering Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, is famous for its position along the Silk Road, its dramatic natural landscapes and its remote location.

In the south, you will find Ashgabat, the country's capital known for having extravagant white marble buildings, streets and structures (a result of a government-sanctioned building boom!).

Coming away from the city, you might want to venture to Merv which was once a major centre on the Silk Road - today, it's an ancient city in ruins and has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You might also be interested in seeing Yangykala Canyon, Konye Urgench and the Darwaza Gas Crater while in the country - there's lots to see and do!

Ashgabat - the twinkling capital city of Turkmenistan. It's mostly famous for having extravagant white marble buildings, extensive green spaces and Soviet-era influences creating a unique and contrasting cityscape that will leave you with a lasting impression.

Start your trip in Ashgabat by visiting the Independence Monument, a towering golden structure that stands out as the centrepiece of Ashgabat, followed by other historical buildings like the Presidential Palace, the Ruhy Mosque and the Neutrality Arch.

A great place to learn more about Turkmen culture is in the Tolkuchka Bazaar where you'll find everything from carpets and souvenirs to fresh produce and livestock. If you fancy a day trip outside of Ashgabat, you should visit the ancient city of Nisa which was once a major centre of the Parthian Empire.

Whatever you choose to see and do in Ashgabat, the easiest way to get there is by flying to Ashgabat International Airport. Direct flights are available from various major cities around Europe and Asia, including London, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur.

We recommend booking your flights in advance as the best time to fly is from March to May and September to November - the weather is mild and comfortable, making it the city's peak season.
