Turkey
is a fascinating study in contrasts. Astride Asia
and Europe, Turkey is a mix of East and West with
ancient cultures next to modern. Turkey is a
secularly democratic country eager to participate
in the modern world. It is most of all a country
rich in historical sites, sunny sparkling
seacoasts, curious geological formations, plains
awash in brilliant flowers, stunning architecture,
and friendly people. The reasons for visiting
Turkey are numerous. To begin with, this wonderful
land is blessed by a lovely nature. Surrounded by
seas on three sides, it is covered by mountains,
forests and all sorts of land variations, all of
which is of superb beauty. The genuine
friendliness and traditional hospitality of the
Turkish people towards visitors is justly renowned
world wide.
