The place is a paradise of sun, sea, mountains, and lakes that offers a dramatic change from the ordinary. From April to October it boasts an ideal climate, perfect for relaxing near sandy beaches, mountains or lakes. It also has a magnificent past, a land rich in remarkable treasures, the remnants of 13 successive civilizations spanning 10 000 years. The capital is the only city in the world located on two continents, Europe and Asia. Also, the city is the former capital of three successive empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. The city today honors and preserves the legacy of its past while looking forward to a modern future. As the locations and sights change, one thing remains the same, the friendly people of this unique country, where the art of warm hospitality has been a cultural tradition for centuries. The magnificent place is Turkey, a unique country with plenty of historical sites, beautiful places, distinctive culture, delicious cuisine and many more. These fascinations have attracted me to sightsee this country, even once. Turkiye, iste geldim!
