For Turkey:
If you do not yearn for it, it must be because you do not know enough; if you're not in awe, it’s because you've never truly met. Turkey is a country filled with legends and surprises — spanning two continents, Europe and Asia. The Aegean, Mediterranean, Marmara, and Black Seas gently touch its vast land. The ancient ruins of Greece, Byzantium, and the Ottoman Empire stand tall, resembling dense forests. The mix of Western freedom and the mystique of the Middle East create a unique blend, while the jewelry and crafts are as tempting as fruits hanging from branches.

This journey promises an unforgettable exploration of Turkey's rich history, cultural wonders, and scenic landscapes. Enjoy your trip!
