Turkey
has one
foot in Europe and one foot in the Middle
East;
its borders span the seas of the Mediterranean, Aegean
and the Black Sea. The Turks are mostly overwhelmingly
friendly to foreign visitors, the cuisine is frequently
excellent, and the cities and countryside are dotted
with majestic old buildings
Its former capital Istanbul (known in mediaeval times
as Byzantium) is itself divided into Asian and European
sectors by the Bosporus waterway, now bridged so that
the continents are physically as well as politically
linked.
Turkey
is a land of extremes, with deserts, salt lakes, high
mountains (including Ararat), volcanic regions, the
vast plateau of Anatolia (the name means ‘land
of the rising sun’) and a long and rugged Mediterranean
coastline with delectable beaches.
