Turkey - 'history and hospitality'
With one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, Turkey consistently lives up to the expectations of travellers...and then, invariably, goes on to surpass them. While few are unaware of Istanbul's cultural and historical attractions this romantic city is only now beginning to receive justified attention as a chic and exciting party town.

Across the Bosphorus, beyond the Asian shore, lies an immense land (95% of the country), offering endless beaches, forests, deserts and some of the most beautiful highland landscapes that you will ever see.
