Turkey’s mix of past cultures and Western influences, along with mass-tourism, make this a country of huge diversity. The difference between the beaches and the mountains inland could lead to you feeling you’re taking in whole continents, not one country. The cuisine in Turkey also shows off the best of its history, from the cliché kebab to more inspired, wide-ranging culinary delights.
Although the coastal southern region tends to typify the Turkey tourists imagine, though the eastern region, with its wild mountain ranges and ancient legacies, needn’t be overlooked by visitors wanting to explore this fascinating country and all it has to offer.
Every famous city leaves you with an unmistakable memory: in Istanbul it is sunsets with an unforgettable backdrop. At moments like this it is not difficult to gaze with love on Istanbul.
Beaches as far as the eye can see, and along with its secluded beaches, picturesque villages, cultural highlights and lively tourist centres make this one of the most varied holiday landscapes in the entire Mediterranean region.
