About Turkey
The potent combination of living history, natural wonders, world class
beaches and tantalizing cuisine has established Turkey as one of
the next travel hotspots. At the crossroads between Europe and Asia,
Turkey is a destination that would appear to have it all. It’s tumultuous history is Iarge in it’s stunning mosques, ancient churches
and neoclassical ruins; it’s coastal landscapes offer a formidable
blend of pine-clad mountains and azure seas; and its gastronomic
traditions make it one of the world’s culinary heavyweights. What’s
more, the people are friendly and welcoming and the generous exchange rate makes Turkey one of
Europe’s best value vacation options for traveling.
Indeed, Turkey - and the amazing city of Istanbul - has Iately rocketed in popularity with tourists.
In the 2021 Hot Spots for Summer study, which asked travel agents which destinations were selling
well for this summer season, Istanbul made it into the top 10 for the first time. Other parts of Turkey attracting a growing number of visitors include the lunar wonderland of Cappadocia, the capital
Ankara and the Arabic city of Mardin in the country’s southeast. Alongside new discoveries, existing
draws are going from strength-to-strength. New luxury resorts and boutique hotels are adding extra
sheen to the country’s extensive coastline. Naturally, Istanbul’s storied history speaks for itself and
new hotels and restaurants, together with a burgeoning cultural scene, are further boilstering its status
as a world-class city.
