Welcome to Turkey, the country that bridges two continents, and which for over ten thousand years, has been the home of the great cultures and civilizations of the world.  Now that you are in Turkey, you are in the land of the "Mother Sun" who gives her name to the land "Anatolia". The 8000 km. long seductive coastline displays limitless shades of "turquoise" for you to enjoy. The golden beaches, undiscovered virgin bays, and the whisper of gentle breezes await you there.   Now that you are in Turkey, you breath the same air with Homer, who created the Aegean legasy; Mevlana, the great philosopher who said "Come again ,whoever you are!"; Yunus Emre, the great poet of universal love; Marcus Antonius and Cleopatra who chose the Mediterranean coast of Anatolia for their honeymoon; Noah who made possible the "Second Life"of humanity; the Virgin Mary and St. John, saints who found peace in this land; and Atatürk, the charismatic leader who founded the contemporary Turkish Republic.
