Europe
and Asia, the city of Istanbul combines old world charm with
modern day bustle. Once the capital of three different
empires, Istanbul is now home to the fabulous art and
architecture of past and straddling the continents of
present. Situated on the Bosphorus Strait, the Golden Horn,
and the Sea of Marmara, its many bazaars, churches, mosques,
museums, and palaces will give even the seasoned traveler a
mesmerizing experience.
The
natural moon-like landscape of Cappadocia adds to the unique
character of a region known for its history, folklore,
artistry, and stone-carved cities. Dotted with fairy
chimneys and underground dwellings, Cappadocia offers the
visitor an unforgettable experience.
The
modern Turkish capital of Ankara sits in the heart of
Anatolia, surrounded by fertile steppe land. This ancient
city traces its roots to the Bronze Age and it has been an
important center of trade and culture ever since. With a
very European appearance, Ankara is home to the Museums of
Anatolian Civilizations, the Mausoleum of Ataturk and the
Haci Bayram Mosque.
