    About this ebook

    Like so many people who have passed through Turkey of the past who were drawn in by the country’s riches and landscapes, you are sure to be equally mesmerized. From region to region there are traces of the past with remnants of some of the world’s earliest human civilizations. It is a place for those who come to search out an exotic culture, history and adventure. It is also a place where people search for refuge, a spiritual connection to others and relaxation.

    The landscape is as diverse as its people and you can witness every part if you open your mind. Recently, this region has not received the best of reputations. However, it should be noted that it is safe to visit. With the exception of a couple small areas close to Syria, you can still enjoy this country for all it has to offer. The key is, as with travelling to any area of the globe is to keep yourself informed.

    Start your tour off by landing in Istanbul. Even if you are looking for a beach vacation later on around the Aegean Peninsula or Turquoise Coast, it is worth spending a couple days in this vastly incredible city. The mosques, the architecture, the people and the food are sure to even give a small trembling to anyone’s core and bring out the adventurer in everyone. Go by foot, mingle with the locals, share a tea or coffee with them. They will surely become a close friend in under an hour and possibly be a friend for life.

    Following Istanbul go out on a limb and travel the distant lands of Anatolia or the Black Sea Coast where you are sure to get another dose of Turkish culture and its history. Venture out in nature in the mountains and fly atop the peaks in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia. Touch and see all that you can and it will reciprocate the sentiment and touch you. Relax, move, see, taste. There is a lot to see, do and experience. Let’s get started.

      Chapter 1:

      Welcome to Turkey!

      Turkey is about to change your world as you know it. It is a grand country, one of ancient times of another past, in what might seem as being from another world all of its own. There have been many factors which have shaped this land. The land in and of itself has been shaped and carved by the sea, volcanoes and earthquakes. Its political landscape has been shaped by many great empires, civilization and leaders. There is a mix of rich and diverse cultures that have formed and settled here, some from another era thousands of years ago. There have been tumultuous struggles, times of riches and times of famine, but it has all made it what it is today and why many visitors find it fascinating. Some come in search of a deeper meaning of life, some for history and some for culture. Whether you are a history buff or not, you are about to have the history lesson of your life by visiting, walking and travelling the roads where so many millions of people have travelled before you.

      Highlights of Your Trip

      Without a doubt, there are going to be many highlights of your trip when you go to one of the most ancient, celebrated lands on this earth. They may be highlights you find in this travel guide and there may be highlights you experience all your own by simply exploring and following a path less travelled. How you experience Turkey and what you take from it, or what you can offer it, is mainly up to you!

      This travel guide is simply offering you to be a guide, pure and simple, well, maybe with some entertaining approaches to your travel plans. The highlights of this text will offer you many ideas on what to see and do, but make the trip your own. What do you want to see? What do you want to delve into? Do you wish to delve into the past? Do you wish to learn more about this country’s history? Do you wish to find riches of material or other forms of less-tactile wealth? The highlights of Turkey all depend on you, what intrigues you and perhaps what drives your existing or newly found passions.

      Iconic Turkey

      A trip to Turkey would not be complete without a trip to Istanbul, where you can visit the ancient mosques and shop in some of the world’s oldest existing markets. If you are in Turkey, the Black Sea or the Euphrates and Tigris Basin should make your list, obviously. This guide will tell you all about these iconic Turkish delights. There is more. The Turquoise Coast and its name is no coincidence. This coastline that extends from Antalya to Bodrum and even further is known for crystal blue waters with the Taurus Mountain range in the background. Go on a cruise along the shore and take in all its beauty and wonder.

      Visit the ancient city of Ephesus. See it in the cool of the early morning where you can walk the marble street towards the amphitheater and library and see the museum where you can view the excavated ancient Roman homes. In every corner and nook of Turkey you are bound to stumble on one culture, one empire or one religion of many. Stay, venture and explore.

      Unique Experiences

      Visit the ‘sunken city’ of Kekova Island and get up close in a kayak. You can relax on one of the best beaches in the world, Iztuzu Beach with views of Greek islands off in the distance, lush forests and sand that shimmers like gold in the sunlight. The journey getting there on a small boat is part of the fun.

      Go to the harbor town of Kas on a portion of the Turquoise Coast. It is perfect for those who need and want to have some outdoor fun. Here you can kayak, scuba dive or snorkel. Visit the deserted village of Oludeniz, make a pilgrimage of it and start walking from Kayakoy. It is a challenge, as any pilgrimage might be, but the views along the way will stimulate your senses and motivation to reach the beaches of this unique village that is worth some exploration of its own.

      How to Use this Guide
