TURKEY

Turkey is where continents meet and stories unfold—an ancient land suspended between East and West, where every stone tells a tale. From the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the quiet cave dwellings of Cappadocia, from turquoise coastlines to snow-capped Anatolian peaks, Turkey is a land of contrast and continuity. Civilizations have passed through its soil for millennia—Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans—each leaving behind a layer of culture, cuisine, and architecture that makes Turkey endlessly fascinating. But it’s not just the history that stays with you—it’s the warmth of tea shared with strangers, the scent of spices in the air, the stillness of a sunrise over Göreme’s valleys. In Turkey, beauty isn’t just seen—it’s deeply felt.
