About Me

Hagia Sophia Mosque-Istanbul
Hagia Sophia Mosque-Istanbul

Turkey is straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, its strategically important location has given it major influence in the region and control over the entrance to the Black Sea.

Joining the European Union has been a longstanding ambition. Membership talks were launched in 2005, but have stalled over serious misgivings about Turkey's human right record. However, it is still a candidate for membership of the European Union

The Republic was founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1923 which marked the end of the long reign of the Ottoman Empire. Since then,Turkey has developed into a modern,democratic state, but at the same time, careful measures ensured that culture and tradition continue to live and evolve. 

Turkey's focal points are its three largest cities: Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir which have become major urban centers by their historical heritage as well as modern design. Mythology and history are intermingled in Antalya on the Mediterranean coast, together with its beautiful beaches and seaside resorts Myra( now called Demre), near Antalya, is where St. Nicholas is buried. "Cappadocia", named during the Roman Empire, was a well-known religious center during the Byzantine Empire. Even today cave dwellings in rock cones and village housed of volcanic tuff merge harmoniously into the landscape. 

Turkey is a country of diverse cultures, beliefs, ideas, nature and history. This diversity is reflected int he landscape which is the life support and habitat for 70 million people. it is a historical gold mine! There are countless historic structures to discover in Istanbul and other cities across Turkiye. of course, in almost every city, especially Istanbull, you will come across many historical buildings that you will admire. You should discover these structures which bear witness to history, including  the Hagia Sophia Mosque in Istanbu, the Topkapi Palace, the Sumela Monastery in Trabson, the Ishak Pasha Palace in Agri, and the Maiden's Castle in Mersin

Due to the wonderful climate and nature in Turkiye, you can enjoy a variety of activities, from Trekking to surfing. it is beautiful all year round, but all the more dazzling in summer! when you visit Turkey, make sure to visit the beautiful beaches that line the Aegean and Mediterranean shores from May to September. 

Kebab,manti ( Turkish ravioli), dolma ( stuffed Vegetables), borek(Turkish pastry) Icli Kofte ( Turkish meatballs) baklava and kunefe ( Turkish desserts) are among the tasty dishes you can try on your trip to Turkiye. This is just a glimpse of the wealth of delicious Turkish cuisine.

There is something for all age groups in Turkiye, it is a paradise for families with kids and has a variety of activities and holiday options for your to explore. Golfers travel from far and wide to Antalya, Ankara, Istanbul and Samsun, popular golfing destinations, with specially designed golf courses. so prepare for a pleasant, peaceful holiday in Turkiye with your nearest and dearest.
