However, Turkey is much more than its history with over 7000km of coastline it's an excellent destination for a sunny holiday and water sports. Who could resist a change to spend a few days cruising along the Turkey's crystal clear turquoise coasts. The pleasure of yachting in Turkey will temp you to come back again and again, to explore yet another stretch of coast and to relive the luxurious ease of life on the sea.

In brief, Turkey is a perfect travel destination, has everything a traveler could possibly need; history, nature, sun, sea, fun, cuisine, culture ... everything.

Istanbul is Turkey's prime attraction, however; it has the most beautiful mosques and palaces of the country, it has Byzantine churches and Roman temples. Without fear of exageration one can say that Istanbul's claim to the title of Eternal city is as justified as Rome's

Cappadocia is another great sight: it is both a natural wonder and the result of human inventiveness. Soft volcanic rock formed a landscape of bizarre beauty, but it was man who made their homes, churches, shops and courtrooms in them. All of these are decorated in a highly original style.

In the East of Anatolia you find the strange rock statues at Nemrut Dagi, which could remind you of Easter island, as well as ancient cities like Van, located on lake Van, and Dogubayazit. When you go west of eastern Anatolia you will find Turkey's "sports city", Erzincan.

On the South coast of Turkey you will find approximately 600 remains of old Greek and Roman buildings, mostly well preserved. About 1 hour west of Kemer there is the wonderfull Roman town Phasalis: this is a museum town, where you can see the remains of a complete Roman city, including a military harbour, an aquaduct a theater and many more buildings. You will walk on the old Roman roads between those buildings. Which such a diversity of sights, Turkey is a wonderful destination for any traveler.

Most importantly Anatolian people are very hospitable. Their motto comes from a great Turkish sufistic and philosopher, Mevlana.

Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of living, it doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come even if you have broken your vow a thousand times,
Come, yet again, come, come.
Mevlana
