 Turkey is a secular republic whose history has been shaped by its strategic position on the map, a bridge between East and West.
With an excellent Mediterranean climate, miles of unspoilt beaches, huge mountain ranges, turquoise lakes, beautiful towns and villages together with a treasure house of historic and archaeological sites |

 Turkey is an increasingly popular destination for adventure travel. Although an almost entirely Muslim country, Turks are pragmatic about the role religion plays within their society and if their application for entry into the EU is eventually accepted it will be the first Moslem country within Europe.
Turkey is a vast country with significant differences between the more economically developed and affluent West of Turkey (which includes Istanbul and the Marmara Coast) and the more rural East where standards of living are lower and fewer tourists venture. |
