TURKEY - WHERE EAST MEETS WEST

Whether you like - Art, history, archaeology, or nature. 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, it is not surprising that one trip to Turkey is never enough.Turkey

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 civilisations, 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 fascinating museums which bring the past to life.

The Aegean Region - among the loveliest landscapes in the country. The magnificent coastline, lapped by the clear water of the Aegean Sea, abounds in vast and pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and pine woods.

Many would agree that the coastal region of the Aegean has some of the most stunning views in the country and, in the words of Heredotus, "have the most beautiful sky and the best climate in the world." The bays, peninsulas and golden beaches stretch the length of coastline and this region was also the venue of countless mythological events. There are remains of ancient cities including Troy, immortalised by Homer, and Pergamum, the art and cultural centre and capital of one of the most powerful kingdoms at the time.
