Turkey
gives you the best of both worlds. East and West combine to create a
colorful mixture of historical sites.
Once the capital of the Roman Empire,
Istanbul offers palaces, mosques
and exciting bazaars. At night, trendy bars and dance clubs sizzle. The
capital Ankara is the second largest city in Turkey, its hilltop location
breathtaking.
For archaeological wonders, the Aegean coast is home to most of Turkey’s
greatest attractions. Base yourself in
Cannakale/Gallipoli to get to the
ancient city of Troy. Then make
Kusadasi your jump-off point to Ephesus. For
a more laid-back holiday, head to
Bodrum with its long stretches of beaches
and Pamukkale, known for its mineral springs. Caves and awesome rock
formations can be found at
Cappadocia.
Unspoilt beaches and ancient ruins await you at
Fethiye on the
Mediterranean coast. Bigger and more cosmopolitan is
Marmaris. Finally, for
a smaller beach town, make
Antalya your base.
