Istanbul Holiday Short Overview

Not many cities in the world can offer the fusion of cultures, living history and archaeological sites that can be found in Istanbul. The Asian and European continents collide in a fascinating way and create a unique atmosphere with brilliant shopping, multi-cultural dining and enchanting views no matter where you are. Stroll through the streets, hop on the tram, chat with the friendly locals and snack as you go. A relaxing drink and dinner overlooking the Bosphorus after a day of exploring can best be described in one word, sensational!

Cappadocia, a semi-arid region in central Turkey, is known for its distinctive “fairy chimneys,” tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley, Göreme and elsewhere. Other notables sites include Bronze Age homes carved into valley walls by troglodytes (cave dwellers) and later used as refuges by early Christians. The 100m-deep Ihlara Canyon houses numerous rock-face churches.

Turkey is the birthplace of many civilizations, empires, historic figures and legends. One of the oldest known human inhabited areas is in Çatalhöyük, Konya dating back to 6500 BC.

The resorts on the South coast also offer great family friendly beach vacations. Turkish cuisine, a fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, is among the best in the world. Culinary delights include Turkish coffee, tea and no visit is complete without tasting the famous Turkish delight.

There are more artistic features and special creativity in Turkish carpets than any other carpet in the world. Bazaars, large, modern malls and large department stores are literally at every corner.
