Before planning  your  trip  you  will need to know:  where to go in Turkey ,  when  to go,  where to stay and what it costs. Turkey is a country of bright sun and sandy beaches and mountains with beautiful landscape. You can enjoy many outdoor activities such as  hot-air ballooning above lunar Cappadocia or blue voyages with gulet boats  in the warm waters of Mediterranean.

Turkey is also known  for its world famous Turkish cuisine  for those who have a taste for good foods and drinks.

Be on the crossroads of ancient civilizations  Take a guided land tour in one of the provinces and explore Turkey with me. If you are not happy with the choices offered, how about Troy !!  Legendary Troy of Paris ! Where they say blowing wind is still whispering the names of those great heros of the past; Hector, Achilles and others. One will never run out of interests or highlights in Turkey.

Once on the roads, you will not know where you are wandering or what lies under your feet. You may be on the foot steps of Saint Paul or maybe Saint Nicholas of Myra    more on Anatolia
