Turkey has so much
to offer the traveler with its breathtaking
natural beauty, unique historical sites
and the famous Turkish hospitality.
Muslim or secular? The blade of Islam or the bind
of Christianity? You decide as you step foot on
the soil that holds intact remains from the
Hittites to the Ottomans and more classical
Hellenistic sites than Greece!
Nearly every major
empire has conquered, occupied and left their
trace on these lands. Imagine walking through
seemingly untouched pristine countryside,
only to stumble across hidden ruins where an ancient
civilization had once flourished and
vanished…
More than half of
the places referred to in the Bible are also
located in modern day Turkey - from Noah's landing
on Mt Ararat in the east, to the Aegean
coast in the west where the Virgin Mary
is believed to have spent her final mortal years
and the Seven Churches of the Revelation were
built. The Hittites, Urartians, Phrygians and
Lydians, just to name a few, were all important
civilizations in the Old Testament and
have left remnants of their existence in Turkey.
