Travel Guide
Turkey
Officially the Republic of Tรผrkiye, Turkey is a country mainly located in Anatolia in West Asia, with the smaller portion of East Thrace in Southeast Europe. Throughout history, Turkey has acted as both a barrier and bridge between the two continents. The country is known for its vibrant culture, ancient history, natural beauty and delicious food with its rich cultural heritage blending Eastern and Western influences, giving way to an unmistakably warm hospitality.
Both Istanbul and Cappadocia are among the most fascinating destinations in Turkey. Istanbul for its historical significance and vibrant culture. The city is home to landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace, as well as bustling bazaars like the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar and the incredible Bosphorus Strait. Cappadocia is a magical region where fairy chimneys and hot air balloons mesmerize visitors. But no matter where you end up, donโt miss Turkish ice cream and baths, high quality textiles and yummy treats like hazelnuts, figs and olives.
