Providing Fascinating Travel Experiences
Why visit Turkey?
Because cost of living advantageous: In a period when 1 USD is trading at around 5.5 Turkish Liras, you can stay in five-star hotels in Turkey at extremely advantageous prices. In addition, the quality of services and the opportunities offered by Turkish hotels are incomparable with other countries in the region. From large lodgment complexes to more intimate, Turkey offers one of the widest ranges of choice for tourist accommodation.
Because Turks are welcoming: When you arrive in Turkey, the first thing that will hit you is not its shining sun or its lush flora and fauna, nor its dynamic life nor its fantastic beaches nor its priceless historical masterpieces ... It is undoubtedly the smile, the joy of life, the kindness, the warmth and the hospitality of the Turks who will do everything to make you feel at home! They will offer you coffee or tea around a good discussion or volunteer to guide you in the region. They will not do so while waiting for a return but only because they will want you to dis- cover their splendid country that is so dear to their heart.
Because it's a unique country: Extensive over a vast territory, Turkey is home to atypical geographical formations that you will not be able to meet anywhere else. It is thus possible to live unforgettable experi- ences in Turkey like swimming in the natural terraced pools, sleeping in an unusual hotel room in cellars and fairy chimneys, contemplating breathtaking rock or taking a mud bath in Dalyan!
Because of its cultural and historical wealth: Anatolia, where the present territories of Turkey are, is a crossroads where the cultures of Sumer, Babylon and Assyria flourished for centuries thanks to civiliza- tions such as Hattis, Hittites and Hurrians. Turkey offers you a striking cultural and historical richness with many unique archaeological sites in the world, most of which are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Because of its exceptional gastronomy: Even if when you are told about Turkish cuisine, you should immediately think about "kebabs", Turkish cuisine is not limited to this succulent dish: it is as rich and diverse as its history, culture and geography. Reflecting all the power of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known, the Ottoman Empire where several ethnicities, cultures and religions coexisted, Turkish gastronomy will make you travel by the originality of its exqui- site flavors.
