Istanbul
|
The
cradle of civilization. Center of world history. Turkey is
both, yet still a young republic having been founded upon
the remains of the Ottoman Empire. It's the site of the first
human settlement, the seat of the Greek, Roman and Ottoman
Empires; the birthplace of Homer and the last home of the
Virgin Mary; the originator of yogurt and the presenter of
coffee to the West. And have we mentioned the scenery?
Turkey
is a large country, being twice the size of California.
It offers a spectacular coastline, majestic mountains,
cosmopolitan cities and quaint villages - no wonder
it's one of the world's most desirable destinations.
So
head to Turkey, where East meets West in a flourish of color,
culture and adventure!
