Turkey
Turkey is truly where East meets West and it is precisely this mixture that makes travel in Turkey so interesting. Although its culture is imbued with a deep and reverent respect for Islam, Turkey is a country that attempts to separate the secular and religious beliefs of its citizens. While it is uncertain what the future holds for Turkey, today the country remains an excellent vacation destination and one of our best places to visit.
Many travelers think there is little to Turkey outside of Istanbul and Istanbul is a hard act to follow. Crossing the Bosporus into Asia Minor, however, leads you into an exotic and exciting country. Read our recommendations on the best places to visit in Turkey and then make your reservations to explore this most alluring country


Istanbul
Istanbul is one of the world's most interesting cities. Its unique history, literally bridging the gap between 'East" and "West", is precisely what attracts tourist to the shores of the Asian Continent. Across time, Istanbul (or is it Constantinople) has served as the capital of the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman Empires: the city's heritage is on display and magnificently preserved. From its famous mosques and churches (the Blue Mosque, Süleymaniye Cami, and Hagia Sophia), through palaces (The Topkapi and Dolmbahce), and on to the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul is one memorable excursion after another

Ephesus
Ephesus, an ancient city in the process of being restored, is a must see. Dating from the seventh century BC (and possibly earlier) Ephesus provides an interesting view of ancient life: the city's ruins illustrate how ancient cities worked and how the people played. Ephesus is a site that should interest anyone but it holds special reverence for Christians who believe that the Virgin Mary lived in the area at the end of her life.
Ephesus is also known as the location of the Temple of Artemis (also called the Temple of Diana), which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Like all of the Wonders, except the Pyramids at Giza, there remains no trace of the temple dedicated to Artemis, the Greek goddess. It is believed that the building was partially destroyed by fire and later by an earthquake.

Izmir
Izmir is a working city that serves as a convenient base to explore the Aegean coast: many prime archaeological sites are relatively close to Izmir. The city has limited attractions of its own.


Kusadasi
Kusadasi is a resort town with great restaurants, good hotels, and pleasant hosts. Known for its nightlife, Kusadasi is a good place for anyone interested soaking up the sun and relaxing at the beach. The city's harbor is the gateway to Ephesus for many cruise lines.

Bodrum
Bodrum is a scenic town whose center is the famed Castle of Saint Peter (built by the Knights of Saint John). Bodrum has much to offer and should be considered as a base to explore the surrounding countryside.

In the past, Bodrum was known as Halicarnassus and the site of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. The tomb was destroyed by a series of violent earthquakes in the distant past. It is said that its building materials were used to fortify the Castle of St. Peter and the city's defensive walls

Anatolia
Anatolia runs across southern Turkey and contains numerous first class archaeological sites. Get a quality guidebook and "dig up" the places of interest to you. Anatolia is a wonderland!
A quality resort town, Anatalya is a good starting place for your explanation of Anatolia

Cappadocia
Most travelers have seen pictures of the mystical, rock chimney dwellings and man-made cave homes in eastern Turkey. Cappadocia is the area of Turkey known for these dwellings and is a very interesting place to visit

Ankara
Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is a gateway to the surrounding region. Ankara and its surrounding area are not prime tourist attractions but are worth a look if you are touring the country for a second or third time
