About Turkey
Turkey is a transcontinental destination where Anatolian history, Ottoman heritage and modern city life meet the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea coasts. It offers a broad mix of archaeological sites, coastal resorts, mountain regions and busy urban centres for leisure and business travellers.
Istanbul is the country's largest city and main gateway, split between Europe and Asia by the Bosphorus, while Ankara is the capital and political centre. Izmir, Antalya and Bursa add Aegean, Mediterranean and early Ottoman character, and the Cappadocia region is known for its rock-cut valleys and hot-air balloon flights.
Beyond the cities, Turkey features landscapes ranging from the Turquoise Coast and Aegean beaches to the Taurus Mountains, inland lakes and the Black Sea highlands. Landmarks such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Ephesus, Pamukkale and Göbekli Tepe reflect a long history stretching from early civilisations to the Ottoman era.
Turkey is a major tourism destination and an important regional economy, with Istanbul hosting international trade fairs, conferences and cultural events throughout the year. Its position between Europe, Asia and the Middle East makes it a natural crossroads for travellers.
International airports in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Antalya, along with domestic flights, highways and high-speed rail connections, make travel between cities and regions relatively straightforward, supporting convenient journeys between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations.
