Tourism in Turkey
Turkey is a fascinating country for a long or short visit, with a dazzling array of coastal resorts, authentic old town centres, and endless opportunities for active hiking holidays. In fact, the country has plenty to offer in more ways than one, and spread over a massive 783,562 sq km, bridging the European and Asian continents, and sharing land borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Greece, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, Turkey has been at the cultural crossroads for centuries. To take even a small taste of Turkey is to experience the marvels of international exchange, world history, and the allure of traditional Turkish culture.
| Fancy seeing the sea? Turkey has access to the Black Sea (between Bulgaria and Georgia) and the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea (between Greece and Syria). Turkey has approximately 7,200 km of coastline. |
