One land, multiple layers of history

The curious traveller’s guide to Turkey

Exploring Turkey, a prime destination in antiquity and today

Incredible archaeological sites attest to Turkey’s importance in the ancient world. Troy, Ephesus, Temple of Artemis, Cappadocia, Hattusa of the Hittites, the sunken ruins of Kekova... The country’s location at the crossroads of continents, cultures and religions was what attracted myriad voyagers, and it continues that tradition in the 21st century. Start your exploration in Istanbul, the only city that straddles Europe and Asia. Then discover the beauty and stories of an Aegean coastline.

What to see and do in Turkey

Successive layers of realms and religions have culminated in a rich collection of churches, mosques and palaces. And as Turkey is largely surrounded by water, spend time on its beaches and boats.

Plan your visit to Turkey

The European or Asian side. The Aegean, Marmara or Black Sea. Metropolis or village. To truly experience the breadth and beauty of Turkey, choose and rather than or. There is simply so much to uncover in this fascinating, diverse country.

Discover the Istanbul of yesterday and today

The city’s historical landmarks dazzle you with their variety, opulence and sheer size. Another way to see them is by boat, as most monuments can be admired from the Bosphorus. But Istanbul doesn’t just live in the past. Experience the local lifestyle in cafés, teahouses, markets and restaurants.

Discover Bodrum, the “Saint Tropez of Turkey"

Sunshine, golden sand, clear water, yachts in the marina, beachfront shops and restaurants... On Turkey’s southwest coast, Bodrum personifies glamour and pleasure. The town also offers a treasury of cultural attractions, such as the Mausoleum – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
