Turkey is a nation of startling contrasts and exceptional beauty. Its unique position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it a remarkable melting pot, home to a mix of natural and human history unlike anywhere else on Earth. These lands have been host to many of the world’s greatest civilisations, from the ancient Hittites through the Greeks and Romans to the mighty Ottoman Empire; numerous traces of their presence remain, providing endless opportunities for cultural exploration. No less spectacular are the country’s fauna and flora; straddling two continents and a stone’s throw away from a third, Turkey supports a surprising combination of wildlife and plants, as well as providing an ideal thoroughfare for migratory species travelling between Africa and Eurasia.
