Turkey

The crossroads of Turkey still lead to a bounty of adventures, back to a time of sparkling mosaics and brilliant tile work on arches and domes of stone churches and mosques, as well as to lush landscapes and hidden valleys of cave dwellers who thrived amidst magical rock formations and worshipped in cleverly carved sacred chambers. The ancient and modern hub of Istanbul boasts a wealth of churches, mosques and palaces but also entices with a cosmopolitan flair. There's plenty to explore both in the backstreets of Istanbul and the backroads of Anatolia.
