Turkey info

Turkey is a land with one foot in Europe and one in the Middle East. Turkey's capital Istanbul was the end point of the Silk and Spice roads. Browse the Spice Bazaar or cruise along the Bosphorus which marks the gap between the Europen and Asian continents.

Turkey is the guardian of many sacred sites revered by Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike, and is littered with the historic remnants of early Greek civilization, Byzantine majesty, and Ottoman culture and artistry. Mount Ararat, in the far east of the country is the legendary landing place of Noah's Ark. Turkey is a feast for the senses, to spectacular cuisine, beautiful beaches, fascinating landscapes and a rich cultural heritage.
