Indeed these days more and more people are heading to this magical country, and it's easy to see why. The fusion of east and west offers a scintillating blend to the curious twenty-first-century tourist in everything from the sights to see, to the food on offer for you to taste, and the warm and welcoming people.

As well as the country’s stunning beaches where you can spend days lounging in beautiful sunlight, the big cities across the land attract many looking for the cosmopolitan urban experience in modern Turkey.

Food
Combining Mediterranean, Central Asian, Caucasian and Arabic flavors, Turkish cuisine is always popular, with plenty of spices complementing beef and lamb along with eggplant, onion, lentil, bean, tomato, and garlic, with rice, bulgur wheat and bread the main staples. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding specialized restaurants. Traditional establishments serve meals which are prepared every day and stored in a bain-marie.
