Türkiye

Türkiye is the meeting point of Europe and Asia, both geographically and culturally. Istanbul, the country’s largest city, is the only major metropolis in the world to sit in 2 continents at once. This coming together of civilizations has resulted is a unique and remarkable character. Everything about the country is a blend of east and west, from the buildings and people to the food and even the landscape.

Türkiye has been at the crossroads of history and civilisation for centuries. There are some truly iconic sights to see, as well as many hidden treasures. The famous mosques and bazaars of Istanbul are well-visited, as are the fantastic beach resorts of Bodrum and Antalya along the Mediterranean coast, but the snow-capped mountains of the country’s interior and seemingly endless ancient ruins are relatively unknown to most. If you’re looking for a country that combines sun, sea, and sand with an exotic culture all of its own, Türkiye is hard to beat.
