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!

Church of St. Peter
15

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.
