Holidays to Turkey

With ancient Constantinople (now Istanbul) having established a bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a fascinating country packed to the brim with impressive monuments left by various Byzantine and Ottoman conquerors. It has a vibrant culture, fabulous food and glorious scenery, ranging from the lunar landscapes and rock-hewn churches of Cappadocia, to the pure white travertine rock terraces of Pamukkale (‘Cotton Castle’) and sun-soaked Mediterranean beaches. In Istanbul key sights include the Aya Sofya (Hagia Sophia), one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and the sumptuous Topkapi Palace.

On the Aegean coast, Ephesus is one of the most complete Roman cities still standing, and ancient Pergamum has an Acropolis and Roman theatre cut into the hillside. In the east, the summit of Mount Nemrut is a funerary mound scattered with broken remnants of once mammoth statues, whilst the ruins of the once powerful Silk Road city of Ani sit abandoned on the plains. Sumela Monastery, built into a cliff face overlooking the Black Sea, is crammed with dazzling frescoes. Safranbolu is Turkey's best preserved Ottoman town, and the Roman Theatre of Aspendos can be found near the bustling Mediterranean city of Antalya.
