A Country For
All Tastes
Turkey has so much to offer her visitors: breathtaking natural
beauties, unique historical and archeological sites, steadily
improving hotel and touristic infrastructure, a tradition of
hospitality and competitive prices. It is not surprising
therefore that this country has recently become one of the
world's most popular tourism destinations. Due to Turkey's
diverse geography, one can experience four different climates
in any one day. The rectangular shaped country is washed on
three sides by three different seas. Its shores are laced with
beaches, bays, coves, ports, islands and peninsulas. The
summers are long, lasting as long as eight months in some
areas. Turkey is also blessed with majestic mountains and
valleys, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and grottoes perfect for
winter and summer tourism and sports of all kinds.
Fethiye
Skiing fans, mountain climbers, trekkers, hikers and hunters
can enjoy new and unforgettable experiences in Turkey. But
Turkey is, above anything else, a huge open-air museum, a
repository of all the civilizations nurtured by the soils of
Anatolia. The huge amount of historical and archaeological
wealth in Turkey seems more appropriate for an entire
continent than a single country. Recently, a new field of
tourism has opened up — health tourism. The country is in
fact rich with hot springs, healing waters and muds which come
highly recommended by the medical authorities as a remedy for
many diseases.
Konya / Mevlana
For centuries, Turkey has also been a crossroads of religions,
not only of Islam and Christianity, but of many others now
forgotten by history. Many religious devotees can find a site,
a shrine, a monument, a tomb or a ruin connected with their
faith or belief.
