Whether
you are an art and history buff, an archaeology nut or a
nature lover, enjoy browsing through markets or going
diving, the different regions of Turkey offer endless
possibilities all year round. Each area has its own
personality, history, landscape and even cuisine, and with
so much on offer to visitors it is not surprising that one
trip to Turkey is never enough.
Surrounded by
four different seas, Turkey is a beach paradise with over
8000 km of sunny strips of sand. It also has an abundance of
plant and wildlife species that can be enjoyed while camping
or trekking in the many national parks which are dotted
around the country.
Home to more than 20 different fascinating civilizations,
Turkey has a 10,000 year-old heritage, much of which is
still being uncovered. Its rich history is very much part of
the present, with temples, ancient theatres, churches,
mosques, tombs, statues of gods, palaces and fortresses, and
of course the many detailed and fascination museums which
bring the past to life.
And of
course in cities like Istanbul, there is a modern, lively
ambience of contemporary society living alongside tradition,
where art and music can be enjoyed whether it belongs to
today or yesteryear. |
