Turkey is a land of crossroads.
Spanning two continents, Europe and Asia, Turkey is the Mediterranean destination of the ancient Silk Road. Spanning ten millennia, Turkey is a place where world cultures intersect. All the world's relgions have been experienced in Turkey. Ancient earth goddesses were worshipped, Jews found haven here during the Inquisition and later pogroms. Mary spent the last years of her life in Turkey and Paul preached early Christianity here.
