Welcome to Turkey... This is the country where the eastern and the western civilizations meet in a great harmony. Turkey is like an open air museum of various important civilizations which flourished on this land since 9,000 BC It would be a great mistake to consider Turkey as only a historical place. It is also a cultural and artistic melting pot of all its rich past. The people, living in modern Turkey now, are descendants of these past civilizations on various ways. Naturally, in Turkey you will experience an incredible diversity in environment, history, culture, art, ideas and beliefs. This is in itself may not be a challenge for the seasoned traveler. After all, diversity is the most prized feature of favorite destinations. In Turkey, this diversity is high enough to challenge even the most experienced eye because it is packed in spaces with abrupt changes in scenery.

Turkey as a modern state and a republic today, is only the last picture in this marvelous album of civilizations. It carries many colours from very ancient times. Hattis, Hittites, Phyrgians, Urartians, Lycians, Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans have all held important places in Turkey's history and its people's culture.

Do not miss the opportunity of exploring and even becoming a part of this unique country in the earliest occasion. It is one of our favorite...
