Fascination Turkey



Turkey, "The Land Beneath The Half Moon". We Begin Our Journey In Istanbul, Golden Gateway To The Orient, A City That Was Once The Centre Of The Old World And Still Reflects Two And A Half Centuries Of History. On The Opposite Side Of The Galata Bridge On The Banks Of The Golden Horn You'll See The Yeni Cami Mosque. The Grand Basare Is A City Within A City. Through A Large Gate There Is A Labyrinth Of Corridors That Were Built Over Many Centuries. A Vivid World Full Of The Aromas Of The Orient. Near To The West Coast Of Turkey Situated Between Troy And Ephesos Is One Of The Most Famous And Well Preserved Ancient Cities Of This Region, Pergamon. This, In The Hellenic Era, Was An Ancient Cosmopolitan City The Traces Of Which Are Still Visible Today. Marmaris Is Situated On The Turkish Riviera And Was Once Well Protected By A Mediaeval Fortress. Ankara Is The Capital Of The Republic Of Turkey And This Once Anatolian Provincial Backwater Is Today One Of The Country's Most Modern Cities And Is A Vibrant World Metropolis. Turkey Is A Country Of Many Faces, With Fairytale-Like Mosques And Palaces, Legendary Ancient Cities And Fascinating Landscapes. It Is A Link Between Asia And Europe, Between East And West And An Historic Bridge Between Both Orient And Occident.
