Turkey

Turkey straddles the continents of Europe and Asia and mixes secularism with traditional Muslim values. Famous for historical relics from its rich history, fine cuisine, and its friendly and generous people, its highlights also include Istanbul’s breathtaking blue mosque and traditional hamams, the magical rock formations of Cappadocia that rise up from like mushroom-shaped fairy houses, and the whirling dervishes of Konya, Sufi Muslim Ascetics whose devotional spinning dance has become iconic of the region.
