Asia to Europe, surrounded by the
Black Sea, Aegean Sea and
Mediterranean. Turkiye is the
neighbor of Greece and Bulgaria on
the west; Georgia, Armenia, Iran
and Azerbaijan on the east; Iraq
and Syria on the south. Ankara is

about 65 million. Istanbul and
Izmir are the other major urban
centers of the country. These
cities are well-developed in art,
commerce and education. The
principles of theatres, concert,
halls, universities, fabrics,
companies and conservatories are

widely spoken in the country.

at least English in touristic
areas.
99
% of the country's population are
Muslims. Turkey is governed by
secular democratic system. In all
Muslim countries only Turkey is
governed by secular democracy.
Varied surface figures of the
country such as chain of
mountains, plains, seas,
highlands, lakes cause some
diversities in climate and plant
covers. The rainy highlands and
green woods at the north, turns to
the dry steppes an the weather
becomes colder in inner side of
Turkey.
On
the other hand Mediterranean and
Aegean part of the country are
generally utilized from the bright
sun almost every season. Cold
weather is rarely in these areas.
It seems unbelievable that in
summer one can ski on Turkey's
snowy mountains and then leave
himself to the warm waters of the
sea during the same day.
Turkey has played an important
role in world civilization. For
thousand of years, these fertile
lands has been home for many
successful nations. Almost, in
every part of the country many
magnificent constructions that
were left behind, surprise
everyone.

the history combining with the
nature, Turkiye offers you a
perfect environment for a
wonderful holiday.
