The rectangular shaped country is
washed on three sides by three different seas. Its shores are
laced with beaches, bays, coves, ports, islands and peninsulas.

areas. Turkey is also blessed with majestic mountains and
valleys, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and grottoes perfect action and
sportive activities seekers. Skiing fans, mountain climbers,
trekkers, hikers all enjoy new and unforgettable experiences in
Turkey.
But Turkey is, above anything else, a
huge open-air museum, a repository of all civilizations nurtured
by the soils of Anatolia. The huge amount of historical and
archaeological wealth in Turkey seems more appropriate for an
entire continent than a single country. For centuries, Turkey
has been a crossroads of religions, not only of Islam and
Christianity, but of many others now forgotten by history. Many
religions devotees can find a site, a shrine, a monument, a tomb
or a ruin connected with their faith or belief.

connects the East and the West both literally and figuratively...

had their capitals on this soil. Turkey is simply beautiful. When
you start an expedition to the countryside, or just leave cities
for a couple of hours, you will notice a handsome difference in
scenery. Turkey has 7 geographical regions and every region has
its own beauty. While Black Sea dazzles your eyes with thousands
of different green tones, you find yourself in a Steinbeck novel
on the Eastern Turkey.
