Turkey is a country where different cultures collide to create a traveller’s delight. Located strategically between the Asian and European continents, Turkey is encircled on three sides by the sea and shares it borders with eight different countries.
While Ankara is the capital of Turkey, the biggest city is Istanbul. The latter is one of the must-visit cities in the country as there are many different places to see and things to do here.

Turkey is one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations. The rectangular shaped country is surrounded on three sides by three different seas. Its shores are laced with beaches, bays, coves, ports, islands and peninsulas. Turkey is also blessed with majestic mountains and valleys, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and grottoes perfect for winter and summer tourism and sports of all kinds.

Turkey is, above anything else, a huge open-air museum, a repository of all the civilizations nurtured by the soils of Anatolia. Recently, a new field of tourism has opened up: health tourism. The country is in fact rich with hot springs, healing waters and healing muds.

For centuries, Turkey has also been a crossroads of religions, not only of Islam and Christianity, but also of many others now forgotten by history. Many religious devotees can find a site, a shrine, a monument, a tomb or a ruin connected with their faith or belief.

Stretching out on two continents, Turkey is a paradise where one can experience the four seasons simultaneously… Whether you are fond of art, history, archeology or nature, you will feel the happiness beyond desires and hopes during your stay in Turkey.

Places to Visit in Turkey
From mountains to beaches, the country has it all. Be it the ancient port of Ephesus to the dome of Aya Sofya which is reminiscent of the bygone Byzantine era. Turkey has its fair share of historical monuments and ruins which are now world famous. The Byzantines, Ottomans and Romans have left a mark on their favourite stop-off along the Silk route.

Geographically speaking, Turkey has a diverse landscape that adds a new dimension to the ruins. From the Aegean olive groves to the Eastern steppes, Turkey is beautiful at every step. From the breath-taking scenery in Anatolia to the luscious Mediterranean coastline to the wavy hills and rock formations at Cappadocia, the sunny beaches of Patara to the greenery of the Kackar mountains, Turkey’s landscapes will leave you awe-struck.

It is not just the landscape but also the cuisine also which will leave your taste buds asking for more. The farm fresh veggies, the melt in the mouth kebabs and the olive oil make Turkey a haven for foodies. Don’t forget to sip on some cay and dig into the scrumptious and delightful Baklava. The food culture is an important part of knowing Turkey.

Turkey has something for everyone. Irrespective of whether you are an adventure freak or a culture lover, whether you are a foodie or just someone who wants a slice of it all. Take the fancy cruises on the Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea or simply kayak, dive, windsurf or dive in the Kekova’s sunken ruins. Fly in the air literally with the hot air balloon ride at Cappadocia or simply trek along the Lycian Way trail or simply take a culinary and culture walk. None of this will disappoint you.

Turkey offers Visa on arrival only to a few countries, mainly to the Europeans. Indians need to have a valid Visa before entering Turkey.
