Lying between Europe and Asia, East and West, Turkey is a land of exceptional variety, which has witnessed the development of some of the world's greatest civilisations.
Rich in Hittite archaeological sites, Greek and Roman ruins, Christian and Moslem history, Turkey's diversity will appeal to all lovers of culture. This diversity is also apparent in the geography of the country and nature has created some amazing landscapes: petrified waterfalls in Pamukkale, a spectacular Mediterranean coast with clear azure waters, a Black Sea coastline with mountainous alpine scenery and the strange panorama of Cappodocia.
In this region, nature and man have come together to create bizarre rock formations, "fairy chimneys", houses and churches carved deep into the rock as well as underground cities.
