Turkey is a land of sun, sea, and history.
As being one of the content resources of our Explore Turkey web site the book covers the most important ancient sites of Anatolia. In spite of the strong resistance for all those years, following a conquer of 54 days, Sultan Mehmet, the Conqueror invaded Byzance on 29th May 1453. As the Emperor Constantinos XI died in panic, the Turks got hold of the city within two hours. The panic throughout the city calmed down in three days and the Sultan ordered the submission of the ones who escaped and were hidden. He guaranteed the public would keep living as the way they used to in terms of their religious and traditional practices.
