Turkey is a cosmopolitan land of mystery and intrigue. Imagine the smell of spices and the taste of freshly made Turkish Delight in the marketplace. Picture smoke filled cafes and towering minarets as you ride the Orient Express to Istanbul. What else is Turkey known for? Insanely hot women. We searched far and wide to find the most beautiful Turkish girls, and were not disappointed. These Byzantine beauties have it all! Apparently it’s all about beauty pageants over there, and these Turkish Instagram girls are some of the most pageant-worthy in the world.

Ece Gürsel

The first thing that catches the eye when looking at the layout of Ece Gursel’s Instagram profile is the frequent use of a selfie to create content. Ordinarily, the selfie is a stylistic choice that can easily be overused, but in Gursel’s case, she pulls it off splendidly. They go to prove that the famous Turkish model still hasn’t lost a step since being named the Best Model of Turkey back in 2003. On top of her good looks, Gurcel employs aesthetically pleasing apparel to spice up her photos. Dolce and Gabbana, Dior, and Chanel are frequent fliers in her photos, and they add a nice touch of style to complement her other images of travel, cuisine, and fashion shows. To the casual observer, Gursel has mastered the art of the selfie, and her fashion choices are worth remembering.

Deniz Akkaya

Deniz Akkaya, Best Model of Turkey 1997, displays a mature persona on her Instagram account. Her adorable young daughter plays a prominent role in several pictures, and when she isn’t posting selfies or majestic window views, she is sharing inspirational quotes and perspectives on life. Akkaya differentiates herself from other famous instagrammers by using unusual perspective in her photos. Snapshots and selfies are hardly ever taken at a conventional angle, lending a refreshing view on more mundane aspects of life. Her miniseries of pictures looking out from inside her home is especially noteworthy because of her juxtaposition between light and darkness.

Jennifer Şebnem Schaefer

The most incredible thing about Turkish­-German model Jennifer Şebnem Schaefer’s Instagram account is her ability to switch effortlessly between eclectic fashion styles and more traditional looks. The only thing that stays constant is her timeless beauty that is only accented by her wardrobe. Of particular note is her series of photos from Florence, Italy, in which she poses with a fascinating key­lime green and azure blue jacket with matching pencil skirt. In another series, Schaefer dresses up in a pristine white outfit with a lace veil and black fan for contrast. It is offbeat offerings such as these which make Schaefer worthy of our attention above all else.

Hazal Kaya

Turkish actress Hazal Kaya brings a rare vibe to the over­glamorized world of Instagram: authenticity. For some reason, Kaya’s official account has a sense of modesty and realness that has undoubtedly endeared her 900k+ followers. Occasional pictures of adorable beagles and other animals add a cuteness factor that will be sure to brighten up anyone’s day. Of further note is her post­frequency, which isn’t all that much, considering all of the incredible experiences and events she takes part in. This aspect adds to her humble charm, and lends the sense that you are following a real person, rather than a renowned young actress.
