Görülmeli

Görülmeli is a Turkish adjective used to describe places, experiences, or attractions that are considered worth seeing. In travel writing and tourism marketing, it denotes recommendations that should not be missed. The term derives from the verb görmek (to see) and the suffix -meli, which expresses obligation or strong suggestion; together, Görülmeli conveys a sense of must-see.

In Turkish, Görülmesi gereken yerler is the common phrase used to compile lists of attractions, routes, or itineraries. The word is frequently used on travel guides, brochures, tourism websites, and social media to label highlights within a city, region, or country. It functions as a qualitative tag rather than a formal ranking, and it is context-dependent.

Typical applications include historical landmarks, natural landscapes, urban architecture, museums, religious sites, and culturally significant experiences such as food markets or festivals. The designation is subjective and may vary by season, accessibility, and traveler interests.

Because Görülmeli emphasizes experience, it complements other categories such as gezilecek yerler (places to visit) and popüler yerler (popular spots). It is widely understood in Turkish-speaking tourism discourse, but outside Turkish contexts the term may be translated as must-see or worth visiting.
