Turkey is a paradise of sun, sea, mountains, and lakes that offers the vacationer a complete change from the stress and routine of everyday life.
The gateway between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, Turkey has two distinct faces - Western with its cosmopolitan shops and boulevards and Eastern with its bustling back streets and bazaars.
Turkey also has a magnificent past, and is a land full of historic treasures from 13 successive civilizations spanning 10,000 years. Even if you spend only a short time in Turkey, you can see a lot of this great heritage including crumbing roman ruins, glittering Byzantine palaces and mighty Ottoman Mosques and lots of other historical ruins.
There is no doubt that one visit will not be enough, and you will want to come back again and again as you discover one extraordinary place after another. All of them, no matter how different, have one thing in common: the friendly and hospitable people of this unique country.
