From Alexander the Great to the Roman and Ottoman Empires, Turkey's colorful history has left remarkable cultural riches: ancient Greco-Roman ruins, Byzantine churches, Ottoman mosques. Its natural wonders are equally impressive: soaring mountains, fanciful tufa rock formations, and sparkling Mediterranean lagoons and beaches. You'll see the bazaars, palaces, and mosques of exotic Istanbul, where Occident meets Orient ... explore underground cities ... and walk in the footsteps of saints and legionnaires in Ephesus. Cruise to hidden coves studded with submerged ruins. Swim in translucent waters, or hike along scenic trails.
