Turkey is the only country in the world that bridges
two continents : Asia and Europe...
Conquering armies have ebbed and flowed across Asia
Minor since the beginning of chronicled time, each
leaving their own mark on Turkish history. From the
Ancient Greeks to the Romans, Hittites, Byzantines,
and the Ottomans, Asia Minor has hosted the advance
and retreat of numerous great civilizations and
their cultural traffic.
Humanity’s influences on the region are retained in
its diverse religions, languages and architectural
wonders, among them Istanbul’s majestic mosques and
Anatolia’s ancient ruins including Troy, Pergamum
and Ephesus.
Though history and culture abound, there are plenty
of things to see and do in Turkey. With more than
7000 km of coastline, it’s an excellent destination
for water sports and gulet cruising, especially
along the Mediterranean, which enjoys an average of
300 sunny days per year.
The Turkish Republic is a democratic, modern and
secular country. The Turks are friendly, the cuisine
is a savoury surprise, the cities are dotted with
majestic old buildings and most of the countryside
is as beautiful as a national park.
