Turkey

Istanbul first: the city where continents meet.

🧭 Why Visit

Turkey spans two continents and ten civilizations: Istanbul's imperial skyline, Cappadocia's balloon-filled dawns, Ephesus' marble streets, and the turquoise coast — with cuisine that rivals any on Earth.

🏛️ A Little History

Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans — Anatolia hosted them all. Atatürk's 1923 republic built a modern state on the empire's heart, keeping Istanbul as the hinge between East and West.

💡 Did You Know?

Istanbul is the only major city on two continents, Göbekli Tepe in the southeast is the oldest known temple on Earth — six thousand years older than Stonehenge — and tulips reached Holland from here.
