Turkey Travel Guide

INTRODUCTION

Turkey is home to some of the greatest empires in history. Istanbul, or Constantinople, is the country's largest city. It was also home to the Christian capital during the Roman Empire and later became capital of the Eastern Empire. It was also one of the last Roman cities to fall to invaders. There are also other spots to see in Turkey. You can spend time along its waterfront on either the Mediterranean Sea or Black Sea. Ankara is the country's capital and government center. However, this city might not be the warmest place to visitors. The Republic of Turkey is a Eurasian country with Eastern and Western traits. It also spans two continents. The seas which surround the country on three sides are the Black Sea, the Aegean, and the Mediterranean.
