On the other side of Europe to Britain, Turkey is an enchanting country where East meets West. Over the centuries it has absorbed the influences of invader after invader, ranging from the Hittites to the Romans, the Ottomans and many others. Its unique position between the continents of Europe and Asia makes diversity its name. This diversity is reflected in the country’s literature, music, art and architecture.

Tourism in Turkey is focused largely on a variety of archaeological and historical sites, and on seaside resorts along its Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.
