TURKEY
Spanning 2 continents, Europe and Asia, and neighboring the unpredictable Middle East, Turkey has an unrivalled history stretching back thousands of years.
But regardless of its prehistoric roots, Turkey is a speedily rising modern state. That is born from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire in year 1923; the country was malformed by its perceptive and ambitious leader Kemal Ataturk. As his death, the republic has maintained its Western direction and European aspiration, in spite of the often-strong counter-current of conventionality and Islam.
Nowadays, the country's cultural and archaeological wonders, and its extended Mediterranean shoreline, are a Mecca for tourist; attract millions of European holidaymakers every year. Along with the top draws is Istanbul with its wonderful setting, wealth of significant sights and vivacious cultural life. Also not to be missed are the astonishingly fresh-looking remains of Greco-Roman cities such as Pergamon or Ephesus, and the coastal resorts with their sandy beach and self-indulgent nightlife.
