Highlights of Turkey

Approximately 20 million tourists visit Turkey every year making it one of the major tourist destinations in all of Asia. The name Turkey alone creates an image of elegant palaces, religious mosques and beautiful women. Turkey, one of the most hotly contested countries of the world, has been ransacked by Alexander the Great, the place where supposedly Achilles battled the Trojans and where the battles that the Ottoman Empire fought to shape the world. To visit Turkey is to immerse yourself in times gone by as you visit its battlegrounds, fabled palaces and crumbling castles. Istanbul, the nation's capital, is rife with historic sites. Be sure to visit the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya, Istanbul's most famous church. Get in the spirit and haggle with the locals in the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar, then finish your day with a float along the Bosphorus and a relaxing dinner in one of the gourmet eateries. Travel to Safranbolu to marvel at an intact Ottoman town, and make arrangements to stay in Ottoman-style in a fabulously restored wooden house. Make a point to see the Acropolis and the Asclepion in Pergamum and wander the Anzac battlefields in Gallipoli.
