Turkey’s vast land mass contains a striking diversity of history, landscapes, and experiences. Its cultural heritage is rich due to waves of occupation by the Hittites, the Romans and the Ottomans. Each dynasty left a footprint in its wake and today, the country is a heady mix of ruins, mosques, churches and teahouses.
