Turkey has been shaped over centuries by a rich history which has resulted in a country that is incredibly diverse.

Aside from Turkey's historical wonders, The Aegean and Mediterranean coast lines offer some of Europe's finest beaches, and cleanest seas. The Taurus Mountains, rising to several thousand feet divide the Mediterranean coastal region of southern Turkey from the central Anatolian Plateau forming an arc around the gulf of Antalya, hugging the coastline and creating a spectacular backdrop to many of the beach resorts of the Lycian/ Mediterranean coasts.

Away from the coast, Istanbul, although not the capital city of Turkey is very much the pulse of the nation and overwhelms with choices. There are Ottoman mosques and grand palaces to see, Byzantine churches, and Roman aqueducts, the mighty Bosphorus that forms part of the boundry between Europe and Asia, and the thousands of shops, restaurants, cafes and entertainment venues, including some of the best nightspots in Europe that contribute to make Istanbul one of the most exciting cities in the world.

Central Anatolia is where you will find the rugged Anatolian plateau and the incredible fairy tale landscapes of Cappadocia, with its cave hotels, and towering phallic rocks and honeycombed hills, in which cave houses have been occupied for millennia.
