Turkey
Turkey is bridging the continents and different cultures with its’ natural beauty and unique history.
A country with a unique history, a variety of historical sites and seaside resorts along its Aegean and Mediterranean Sea coasts. Turkey has also become a popular destination for culture, spa, and health care. Turkey is located where the three continents making up the old world, Asia, Africa, and Europe are closest to each other and straddle the point where Europe and Asia meet.
The country where cultures mix
Turkey is one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations. The 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: health tourism. The country is in fact rich with hot springs, healing waters and healing muds.

For centuries, Turkey has also been at 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.
