Turkey

It is a transcontinental country, with most of its territory located in Western Asia and a minor part in Eastern Europe, which extends throughout the Anatolian peninsula and Eastern Thrace in the Balkan area. Due to its strategic position, located between Europe and Asia, as well as between three seas, Turkey has been a historical crossroads between Eastern and Western cultures and civilizations. Its territory has been home to several great civilizations: Hittite, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman, to name just a few, making this country a veritable open-air museum. Beyond the modern vibrancy and great monuments of Istanbul, there is a vast country where it is possible to travel in search of idyllic beaches or the monumental memories of a history that spans thousands of years. On a sightseeing trip to Turkey, you can enjoy resorts with lively nightlife or small towns where you experience local life, whether it's visiting a Turkish bath or discovering excellent cuisine. Its monumental wealth is very remarkable and a good part of its heritage is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
