History and heritage: welcome to Turkey

Posted on by

The modern state of Turkey is a land rich in history. The first known settlement in the world is a Neolithic city located at Catalhoyuk that dates from 6,500 B.C.  Turkey is also the heir of a diverse blend of cultures. Due to its strategic location, Turkey is one of the most contested geographical locations on earth. It has been home to Hittites, Macedonians, Persians and Romans. It is the storied land where Alexander the Great cut the Gordian Knot and where Homer’s Achilles battled the Trojans in the Iliad. From these beginnings in the dawn of civilization, Turkey rose to become the centre of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Today, Turkey is a modern nation built upon the secular foundation created by Kemal Ataturk.

Visitors to Turkey will enjoy the varied cuisine, ancient folk dancing and music during the many festivals and celebrations. Tour the ancient archaeological sites of Ephesus, the caves and “fairy chimneys” that are located in Cappadocia or Mount Nemrut, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests will also be amazed by the architectural wonders found in Istanbul, such as the Hagia Sophia and the nearby Sultan Ahmed Mosque. Guests will also see one of the most important waterways in history, the Bosporus, which divides Asia from Europe. You will discover that Turkey is where the tulip originated and where the sea, commerce and warfare shaped the land.

Tourists going on holiday should search for cheap flights to Turkey. Once there, you will be able to enjoy the vibrant culture as you learn the historical significance behind the passion that the Turks have for their country.
