A Gateway to World of Possibilities
A country of incredible geographic diversity, modern infrastructure for the tourism industry, a rich cultural and historical heritage, competitively priced accommodations and top class facilities for travelers.
 

Turkey-just the name itself conjures up visions of oriental splendor, mystery and intrigue. This was the meeting point of the world’s three great civilizations, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman, former center of Christendom, the crossroads of Asia and Europe. This land of seas, mountain ranges, high plateaus and fertile river valleys is the dividing line between the Orient and the Occident. It was also the nucleus of the 1,000-year Byzantine Empire with its capital established at Constantinople. It was here; too, that early Christianity first took root, to be replaced with the advent of Islam, first under the Arabs, then under the Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Turks.

Here is a country with more classical ruins than Greece, more monuments of Islam than Arabia and more churches than Rome. But Turkey is not all history. Today’s Turkey is a safe, modern country with a booming economy. Her cities with their glittering shopping facilities, business towers, and unparalleled combination of historical sights, state-of-the-art conference facilities and world class hotels make it the ideal destination for exciting and memorable congresses, meetings and incentives.

The tradition of Turkish hospitality declares that every traveler is a guest from God. Wherever you go in Turkey you will be greeted and cared for with generosity. As a nation looking boldly toward the future, Turkey is embracing its role, not as the dividing line between East and West, but rather as the bridge between them.

Here is a country where graceful minarets are silhouetted against the horizon, where ancient churches covered in fragrant honeysuckle stand unannounced next to the shimmering waters of the Aegean, where weatherworn monuments bear witness to 4,000 years of history. All of these sights and sounds –and much more- are waiting for you to experience in one single country.

We are ready to welcome you. Come and see for yourself!

There, time becomes life
As in every country, the struggle man wages with nature to win his daily bread is also considered sacred in Turkey. Here daily life consists, on the one hand, of conforming to the needs of time, and on the other, of traces and colors of thousands of years of cultural accumulation. In Turkey, every passing second is new breath, in short, is life itself. And life is a river in Turkey that flows on and on.

There, time becomes a prayer
Turkey is one of the places on earth where God’s messages were first heard and taught. From a religious point of view there are many places that are considered as holy. Yet, more important is the fact that Turkey is a country where the members of many religions and sects live together. Thus, it is a place where the teachings of all religions are brought to life. In this way, Turkey is a prayer offered by all religions with one voice for people’s happiness and health.. And religion in Turkey means tolerance.

There, time becomes colors
Turkey is country where all the climates on earth find a home. Here, nature means diversity. Mountain and plain, forest and wilderness, sun and snow... contrasts turn into forms of beauty that astound those who observe them. A tree in the sparse, monotonous plain, a secluded bay, a snowy mountainside or a silent forest... Every look turns into a photograph which stirs in people, feelings for the pastoral life. And nature is a richness that increases as it lives in Turkey.

There, time becomes light.
Turkey is at the same time a country of light. Every object that the light shines upon at every moment of the day is reflected to the eye and to the spirit in a different form, and it offers illumination and beauty to people. And perhaps for this reason to watch the day begin at Nemrut Mountain is a tradition that has been sanctified over hundreds of years. The light is the blessing of Turkey’s plains. It illuminates the caravan traveling from dreams to the world. It most often turns into the mirage that you want to rise up and follow. And maybe it loves most to play with the water, the light on the Turkish coast. It turns into the golden Phosphorescence glimmering on the sea.

There, time becomes history
There, time turns into history. Time gains meaning with people. And the traces people leave in time become history. If you ask where people first started to leave their mark in time, the answer, you will find in Turkey. The impressions of thousands of years of human history are found over every part of Turkey’s geography. The signs of twenty-four civilizations on its landscape form an attractive interwoven motif.

There, time becomes happiness
Being able to rest to the heart’s content is the greatest reward that can be received in return for work. On the question of recreation and holidays, Turkey has unrivalled opportunities to offer. The geographical diversity creates many options for tourism.

The abundance of historic sites, where life still continues, amazes the tourist who visits Turkey. Every moment spent resting in Turkey turns into happiness.
