About Turkey

From the ancient Hittites to the Ottomans, dozens of civilisations have made Turkey their home, leaving behind them a dazzling historical and archaeological heritage.

Ankara, Turkey’s capital, is spread across the Central Anatolian steppe. Attractions include Hisar, the Byzantine citadel east of the old city; the Museum of Anatolian Civilsations; and Atatürks mausoleum.

Balanced on a thread of land linking Europe to the East, Istanbul offers sun, sea, mountains, lakes and a bounteous culture born of a 10,000 year-old civilization.
