Turkey offers so many possibilities for great discoveries, adventure programs and culture visits, it is difficult to pre-arrange all possible itineraries.

Turkey has been called "the cradle of civilization" and by traveling through this historic land the tourist will discover exactly what is meant by this phrase.

The world's first town, a Neolithic city at Catalhoyuk, dates back to 6,500 BC. From the days of Catalhoyuk up to the present time Turkey boasts of a rich culture that through the centuries has made a lasting impression on modern civilization. 

The heir to many centuries of cultures makes Turkey a paradise of information and cultural wealth. Hattis, Hittites, Phrygians, Urartians, Lycians, Lydians, Ionians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, and Ottomans have all held important places in Turkey's history, and ancient sites and ruins scattered throughout the country give proof to each civilization's unique distinction.
