The other three regions were named in accordance with their location in the whole of Anatolia – Central, Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Regions. The Mediterranean coastline is the most popular touristic attraction. İt has unique landscapes, Blue Flag beaches and great history all around. More than 20 million tourists visit this beautiful and interesting country every year.

Why should you visit Turkey?

Turkey is a land of myth, various civilizations, the country that was influenced of varied streams of culture. Owing to its favorable position, Turkey happens to be the bridge between two most important continents on the world:  the East and the West (Europe and Asia) and the point where the three continents of the old world (Europe, Asia and Africa) meet.

This is a place where every visitor can find something for himself. The world-class cuisine, warm hospitality of Turkish people, entertaining facilities, architectural magnificence of the mosques and castles and natural beauty make Turkey an unconquerable touristic attraction.

So if you going to take a splendid holiday – visit Turkey. This Mediterranean country has an ancient charm nestled in a gorgeous natural surrounding, which unites the extremely courteous and warm welcome from the locals.

About History of Turkey:

Turks began their migration into the area what now is called Turkey in the 11th century. The process was greatly accelerated by the Seljuk victory over the Byzantine Empire at the The Battle of Manzikert. The Seljuk Sultanate ruled Anatolia until the Mongol Empire’s invasion.

Starting from the 13th century, the Ottoman Empire united Anatolia and created an empire encompassing much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia and North Africa.

After the Ottoman Empire had collapsed following its defeat in World War I, parts of it were occupied by the victorious Allies. A cadre of young military officers, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,organized a successful resistance to the Allies and in 1923 they established the modern Republic of Turkeywith Atatürk as its first president.

Turkey is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic, with an ancient cultural heritage. Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West through membership in organizations such as the Council of Europe, NATO, OECD, OSCE and the G-20 major economies.

Turkey began full membership negotiations with the European Union in 2005, having been an associate member of the European Economic Community since 1963 and having reached a customs union agreement in 1995.

Turkey has also fostered close cultural, political, economic and industrial relations with the Middle East, the Turkic states of Central Asia and the African countries through membership in organizations such as the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and the Economic Cooperation Organization.

Given its strategic location, large as well as powerful economy and army, Turkey is classified as a major regional power.

About Climate of Turkey:

The climate is mild in the coastal regions owing to the sea influence. The central regions are sealed from the sea by the Northern Anatolian Mountains and the Taurus Mountain Range and display characteristics of a continental climate.

The Mediterranean and Aegean coastal regions up to an altitude of 800 m inland refer to the Mediterranean climate. In this climate summers are hot and droughty, while winters are mild and rainy. Annual rainfall is about 1000 mm in some regions but meaningfully less in others. Snowfall and frost are rare, except for high mountain regions.

Turkish Cuisine:

Turkey has a rich variety of food that makes it worthwhile just to take a culinary tour. You cannot identify one prevailing Turkish food like pasta in İtaly or wine in France, but the Turks have perfected their cuisine to the excellence that reflects the preciosity of culture.

Turkey has a long repertory of ancient recipes that were perfected by the chefcooks eager to please the Sultans. Turkish food is simple in presentation, its natural flavor is not mixed with different sauces; since the Ottomans made laws to regulate freshness of food, leftovers are rarely found in Turkish homes.

It is said that travelers in Turkey”come for the history but stay for the food”. Make sure you take home a turkish food like Turkish Delight as a souvenir from Turkey.
