Turkey
From Istanbul’s bazaars and mosques, to Bodrum’s blissful coastline, Turkey is awash with history, culture and outstanding natural beauty. Bordered by eight countries and acting as a gateway between east and west, this is a diverse and fascinating country full of Roman architecture, Byzantine art and Ottoman Palaces.
Istanbul is a vibrant mix of Western and Eastern cultures; with beautiful old mosques and mystical bazaars, juxtaposed with luxurious hotels, funky bars and restaurants. The coast around Bodrum is made up of small coves and islands, changing to long sandy stretches of beach around Antalya.
