Turkey

Turkey is a land that has housed some of the most acclaimed civilizations in history. From the fertile plains of Mesopotamia in the East to the Byzantine ruins in the West, it is a place abundant in history, folklore, and breathtaking landscapes.

“I wouldn’t have sold the view I saw for an empire.”
– Edmondo De Amicis, on arriving to Istanbul

Once a crucial point on the Silk Road, Turkey connected the Eastern and Western worlds. Today, it continues to serve as a connecting ground with the Istanbul Airport, ranked among the best-connected in the world.

Turkey is a land of spectacular views and tantalizing fables. It is the home of Homer, its turquoise coastal waters said to have witnessed both heroes and monsters. Cappadocia, now known for its morning flight of hot air balloons was once the realm of fairies.

With seaside temples dedicated to the gods and underground cities constructed to guard civilizations from the wrath of Mongols, this land holds a never-ending string of sights and stories waiting to be explored.
