WELCOME TO GENUINE ESCAPES, TURKEY
Turkey is a bridge between Europe and Asia with an extremely rich cultural heritage;
3% of the country lies in Europe, whereas the remaining 97% lies in Asia.
No other land has witnessed so many diverse civilisations over the last 10,000 years. Mesopotamians, Ionians and Romans were followed by the Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires. Turkey is without doubt one of the world’s largest ‘open air museums’ with magnificent landscapes, natural beauty and numerous historical, archaeological and cultural sites.
Anatolia itself became a crossroads of people, cultures and religions. St.Nicholas – Santa Claus- was born in Patara in the southwest, whereas the famous epic author Homer was born in Izmir (Smyrna).
Christianity thrived here and Islam was glorified by the Seljuks and Ottomans.
Turkey offers immense diversity: majestic mountains ideal for climbers, hikers and skiers;
over 8000 km of coastline laced with picturesque bays and coves; year-round summer in some areas, yet plenty of snow in others.
You can also find one of the world’s healthiest cuisines in Turkey.
