Turkey has a magnificent past – one of the world’s great cradles of civilisation. It is a land rich in remarkable treasures and remnants of 13 successive civilisations, such as the Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, spanning 10.000 years.
The superb scenery and landscape reflect a remarkable geographic diversity. It is a paradise of sun, sea, and mountains, where the idyllic Mediterranean beaches and mountains, pine forests, and alpine lakes of the Black Sea region welcome millions of tourists annually. Many of Turkey’s national parks and wetland sanctuaries serve as a final refuge for many species that are almost extinct elsewhere in Europe.
Like the intricate tiles of a traditional Turkish mosque, the many allures of Turkey form a compelling and educational mosaic – a unique and distinctive culture. Prepare to explore o proud land of eccentric sultans, whirling dervishes, the great Atatürk, elaborate carpets, traditional folk music, Helen of Troy, rich coffee, kebabs, tulips. |
