General Information
Turkey

Bounded by three different seas and bridging Europe and Asia, Turkey offers excellent food, welcoming people, and a fascinating blend of history, cultures, wonderful beaches, archeological treasures and natural wonders. Multi-continental Istanbul has glorious mosques, palaces, and Roman temples surrounded by the Bosphorus, and the colorful Grande Bazaar offers everything from spices to gold.

Ephesus is an ancient history buff’s delight, and one of the best-preserved classical cities, and The Valley of the Fairy Chimneys is a natural wonder, where erosion-created volcanic rock pinnacles rise from the countryside. The Aegean’s resort town of Bodrum offers a great base for boat tours, water sports by day, and raucous discos by night, and along Turkey’s southern coast there are hundreds of Greek and Roman ruins

Language: Turkish (official), Kurdish, Arabic, Armenian, Greek.
