Turkey
Turkey, a captivating transcontinental country bridging Europe and Asia, boasts a fascinating blend of history, culture, and natural wonders. Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, uniquely straddles two continents, with the Bosphorus Strait serving as a geographical and cultural divide. The country is home to Troy, the legendary city from Homer’s “Iliad,” and Ephesus, an ancient city with remarkably preserved Roman ruins. Turkey’s diverse landscapes include the otherworldly Cappadocia, renowned for its fairy chimneys and cave dwellings, and Pamukkale, where mineral-rich thermal waters flow down terraces of white travertine. Turkey’s culinary scene is equally impressive, offering delights such as kebabs, baklava, and Turkish delight. Additionally, Turkey’s rich history is reflected in architectural marvels like the Hagia Sophia, once a Byzantine cathedral and Ottoman mosque. With its vibrant markets, warm hospitality, and a mosaic of traditions, Turkey beckons travelers with a tapestry of experiences that seamlessly blend the ancient and the contemporary.
