Introduction:

Are You Ready for an Adventure? Turkey Awaits!

Like so many people who have passed through Turkey of the past who were drawn in by the country’s riches and landscapes, you are sure to be equally mesmerized. From region to region there are traces of the past with remnants of some of the world’s earliest human civilizations. It is a place for those who come to search out an exotic culture, history and adventure. It is also a place where people search for refuge, a spiritual connection to others and relaxation.

The landscape is as diverse as its people and you can witness every part if you open your mind. Recently, this region has not received the best of reputations. However, it should be noted that it is safe to visit. With the exception of a couple small areas close to Syria, you can still enjoy this country for all it has to offer. The key is, as with travelling to any area of the globe is to keep yourself informed.

Start your tour off by landing in Istanbul. Even if you are looking for a beach vacation later on around the Aegean Peninsula or Turquoise Coast, it is worth spending a couple days in this vastly incredible city. The mosques, the architecture, the people and the food are sure to even give a small trembling to anyone’s core and bring out the adventurer in everyone. Go by foot, mingle with the locals, share a tea or coffee with them. They will surely become a close friend in under an hour and possibly be a friend for life.

Following Istanbul go out on a limb and travel the distant lands of Anatolia or the Black Sea Coast where you are sure to get another dose of Turkish culture and its history. Venture out in nature in the mountains and fly atop the peaks in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia. Touch and see all that you can and it will reciprocate the sentiment and touch you. Relax, move, see, taste. There is a lot to see, do and experience. Let’s get started.

Turkey is about to change your world as you know it. It is a grand country, one of ancient times of another past, in what might seem as being from another world all of its own. There have been many factors which have shaped this land. The land in and of itself has been shaped and carved by the sea, volcanoes and earthquakes. Its political landscape has been shaped by many great empires, civilization and leaders. There is a mix of rich and diverse cultures that have formed and settled here, some from another era thousands of years ago. There have been tumultuous struggles, times of riches and times of famine, but it has all made it what it is today and why many visitors find it fascinating. Some come in search of a deeper meaning of life, some for history and some for culture. Whether you are a history buff or not, you are about to have the history lesson of your life by visiting, walking and travelling the roads where so many millions of people have travelled before you.
