Turkey is a modern, secular and Western-oriented country with a dynamic economy. Its people are disarmingly friendly to visitors; the cuisine is diverse and outstanding, the cities are like large outdoor cultural museums, the countryside looks like one giant national park and the beaches where the sand is golden and sparkles like diamonds. You will never be disappointed with your visit here!
Turkey's past is simply incredible, the world's oldest city was discovered here, at Çatalhöyük ageing it at (7500 BC). The heartland of ancient Greek culture is actually in Turkey, including cities such as Troy, Pergamon, Ephesus, Miletus, and Halicarnassus. Most Turkish cities have a Roman and Byzantine past which is noted in many ways throughout the country.
As more and more visitors travel from China, Korea, Taiwan, North America and Europe, they are discovering the country and the increasingly marvellous wonder that is Turkey. As a vast and varied country, Turkey six times bigger than Mediterranean Greece yet has 50 percent fewer inhabitants per square climate kilo-meter.
It shares borders with Greece, Bulgaria, the USSR, Iran, Iraq and Syria, and this geographical position means it is neither European nor Asian, nor Middle Eastern, having traces of all three, yet distinct from them. Turkish people show a genuine hospitality to visitors they feel that 'The guest comes from God' which is an old Turkish proverb.
Their friendliness is summed up by their phrase for goodbye: Gule Gule, which means " Go with a smile." Guided or Private tours around this beautiful country is a must!

8
Pamukkale is a town in the western region known for the mineral-rich thermal waters flowing down white travertine terraces on a nearby hillside.

Once a Roman port, the remains can still be seen on a guided private tour.
Sumela Monastery
14
The Sumela Monastery or as it is better known The Monastery of the Virgin Mary is the most popular guided tour in Trabzon. Precariously situated on a cliff edge, it has a history that dates back to the Byzantine era. The vibrant frescoes in the main chapel are intact by sadly damaged, and the warren of rooms and additional chapels make up the rest of this lovely complex.
Church of St. Peter
15
Private tours of this early Christian church which is cut into the slopes of Mt Staurin (Mountain of the Cross) was popular with religious worshipers and tourists. Thought to be the earliest place where the newly converted people met and prayed in secret the holy water on the site is believed to be blessed and have healing powers. Both St Peter and St Paul lived in the area and may have preached sermons at the Church.

17
Ani is situated on the eastern border of Turkey. Unfortunately, it is a crumbling site of the once great city of Ani or The city of a thousand and one Churches. The once magnificent walled city was home to 100,000 people and was the hub for trade. While the ruins are in some disrepair, some of the interiors still have remnants of the original frescos and artwork. The scenery from the area is beautiful, and while the ruins may not look too pretty, they are worth a visit.
18
Mardin is an unmissable place to visit as it has such a great mix of cultures that have influenced the area from Yezidi, Christian, Kurdish, Syrian and Turkish.

20
Sightseeing Tour to Ancient Milet City one of the most important cities in the ancient Greek world it eventually declined due to the splitting of its harbours. There are so many well-preserved ruins to be seen at this site, including a Byzantine church, and Temple of Apollo. Hard to imagine that Milet was once on a peninsula, with three working harbours, the original port is now situated 5 miles inland due to the continent shift.
