Turkey is a treasure house of cultural and historic gems.
Roman cities, Crusader Castles, Christian churches, the splendors of Islamic mosques, Sultan's Palace, and bustling bazaars provide a colorful mosaic as Turkish people continue their tradition of hospitality and friendliness. Turkey straddles the point where Europe and Asia meet and is located at a point where the three old world continents Asia, Africa and Europe are closest to each other. Because of its geographical location the mainland of Turkey has always found favor throughout history, and is the birthplace of many great civilizations. Since early times it has also been prominent as a center of commerce because of its land connections to three continents and the sea surrounding it on three sides.
