They usually think about Turkey as a immense beach with hotels “all-inclusive” & bazaars. This is not a mistake. This is over mistake! Turkey is a immense beautiful country, which has everything your heart desires. Today they will tell you about some parts of Turkey, worthy of our attention. So…
Antalya
If there is paradise on earth, it is in Antalya. Brilliant mild climate, flowers all year round, lack of serious frosts, natural beauty, blue sky, warm healing sea… One of the most beautiful coastlines of the Mediterranean is in Antalya. All of the most well preserved ancient Greek cities are situated here. The cleanest & exquisite beaches, the most famous canyons & national parks are in Antalya. The Greeks & Galatians, Genoese & Turks, Romans & Byzantines, merchants & pirates rivaled for the right to live here…
Istanbul
The Turks say “Istanbul & Turkey are five different countries”. There is a share of exaggeration there, but only a share. Istanbul in fact differs from Turkey. This is a immense metropolis with a population of 20 million people. Its area is like a tiny European state. Mild climate, beautiful Bosphorus, entertainment for all tastes & the atmosphere of history… Byzantium, Constantinople & then Istanbul have always been the middle of European history…
Anatolia
An area in the heart of Turkey, Anatolia has long nursed the Roman Empire. Due to its excellent climate, they collected immense harvests of grain there. Anatolian plateau, located literally in the midst of the country, has long been cultivated by people. From here the ancient Hittites went down to the sea, the Celts settled here together with the armies of Alexander of Macedon, Persians, Arabs, Byzantines … Today Anatolia is a middle of tourism, agriculture &, of work, history. The ancient cities of Hittites & Persians stand here under the open sky, abandoned & waiting for their turn.
Van
This is the northernmost, but welcoming – like all of them – part of Turkey. One can see Armenia from here, & this is where the famous Mount Ararat is located. There is a lake Van, which is correctly described as a tiny sea. A immense area of fresh-water in the mountains, Van is surrounded by elderly monasteries & church buildings. This area is famous for its cheeses & products made from sheep’s wool. Van is a sparsely populated area, so visitors are always welcome.
Ankara
Ankara district is different from the mountain or sea regions of Turkey. The city of Ankara, situated on a large plateau, looks like a futuristic mirage. Skyscrapers with dozens of floors, ultra modern communication centers & office buildings… & next door – elderly castles of Seljuk Turks… A combination of history & modernity – that is the whole of Turkey.
