Whirling dervishes, evil eyes, and kebabs are just a few of the threads in Turkey’s vibrant tapestry. Visitors to the country which straddles Europe and Asia will fall in love with history at Ephesus, the Hagia Sophia, and any one of Istanbul’s Ottoman-era mosques. Varied landscapes and climates also offer a countless number of things to do in Turkey, including paragliding in Fethiye, skiing in Bursa, boat tours in Antalya, and scuba diving in Kas. Meanwhile, natural attractions such as the fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, the white travertines of Pammukale, and numerous beaches lining four seas are a hit with travelers of every age.
