Türkiye has so much to offer her visitors; breathtaking natural
beauties, unique historical and archaeological sites, steadily improving
hotel and touristic infrastructure and a tradition of hospitality and
competitive prices. Therefore, it is not surprising that this country
has recently become one of the world's most popular tourism
destinations. Due to Türkiye's diverse geography, one can experience
four different climates in any one day. The rectangular shaped country
is surrounded on three sides by three different seas. Its shores are
laced with beaches, bays, coves, ports, islands and peninsulas. The
summers are long, lasting as long as eight months in some areas. Türkiye
is also blessed with majestic mountains and valleys, lakes, rivers,
waterfalls and grottoes perfect for winter and summer tourism and sports
of all kinds. |

Skiing fans, mountain climbers, trekkers, hikers and hunters can enjoy
new and unforgettable experiences in Türkiye. Türkiye is, above anything
else, a huge open-air museum, a repository of all the civilizations
nurtured by the soils of Anatolia. The huge amount of historical and
archaeological wealth in Türkiye seems more appropriate for an entire
continent than a single country. |

For centuries, Türkiye has also been a crossroads of religions, not only
of Islam and Christianity, but also of many others now forgotten by
history. Many religious devotees can find a site, a shrine, a monument,
a tomb or a ruin connected with their faith or belief. |
