Turkey, located on the Anatolian peninsula (Asian part of Turkey) and Thrace (part of Turkey in Europe), lies on a region with an extraordinary wealth of history, culture and natural beauty.

You can do the wildest nature sports, enjoy sandy beaches, green forests and high mountains, travel back in time to see civilizations of thousands of years ago, and not compromise from your modern life style. You can even experience walking, running or swimming between Asia and Europe over Bosphorus in Istanbul, where these two continents get as close as possible both geographically and culturally.

Combination of this wealth with the warm and friendly nature of Turkish people gives you one of the most popular touristic places in the world. Turkey hosts over 20 million tourists annually and this number is increasing every year due to high demand.
