• When you touch down in Turkey, know that Istanbul will be a logical destination that will be at the top of the list for travelers. The Blue Mosque, the Hippodrome, and Topkapi Palace will be must-see, old city staples that date back well over 1000 years. The mosque is well known for the blue tiles that adorn the centre of worship, the Hippodrome is the Turkish version of the Roman Coliseum, where sports and politics intersected, and the palace was home to the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire. Last, but by no means least is the Grand Bazaar, the biggest covered market in the world, with over 4000 vendors selling everything under the sun and then some.
• Next stop in the tours of Turkey is Ankara, the capital of the country and its the second largest city with over four million people calling it home. While the city dates back to the time of Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire is a contemporary, the cosmopolitan city that has lots of activities to occupy the short time you will spend there. In Ankara, two featured destinations to see are the Hittite Museum and the Mausoleum of Ataturk. There are many ancient artifacts on display at the museum and for a history buff, it is the only place to go. If you aren’t a history buff but enjoy sculpture, and art, you will find it a place that is appealing to the eye. The mausoleum is a tribute to the first president of the Turkish Republic and sits high atop a hill just west of Ankara looming like the jewel it is over the city.
• Using the town of Izmir as home base, you can travel short distances to the ruins of the Necropolis Graveyard, the Roman Baths, the Basilica and the calcium cliffs that are unique to the area. A trip the area wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the House of the Virgin Mary or a stop at the former Roman capital of Asia Minor, Ephesus. The Temple of Hadrian, the ruins of Odeon, the Hercules gate, and Agora await the traveler and they are steeped in the history of the country that shows off the pristine beauty and imagination of the architects who designed these splendid monuments.
