Turkey’s natural beauty is abundant, with great stretches of sandy beaches and romantic rocky coves. Travellers will find Turkish people to be exceptionally gracious hosts which makes sense given the country’s place as a crossroads between Europe and Asia. Turkey has dramatically improved its tourist infrastructure, too.
This appealing mix does have a few drawbacks—increasing prices (though it’s still an inexpensive place to travel); sprawling new development; and growing crowds—but they’re hardly enough to spoil a visit. Our advice is to take your time in discovering Turkey. It’s best experienced in leisurely excursions to places of remarkable history and beauty (such as Cappadocia and Ephesus) and in extended visits to fascinating and energetic cities (such as Istanbul).

Special Sights to see
Epheseus – Turkey via Ismir
Whilst only discovered in recent times this city, now land locked was once a great trading port at least 1000 years BC, I suggest it is essential for you to have a local guide to reveal the meaning of things that a casual visitor could never understand. It is here in massive colosseum that Paul preached to the Ephesians and was jailed nearby for his troubles. This region ofTurkeyis steeped in Greek, Roman and Christian history. – Elisabeth
