Türkiye'nin selamlar! (Greetings from Turkey!)

"Turkey is a land of vast open spaces, massive mountain ranges, fertile valleys and rugged coastline, fast-growing cities and sleepy villages, bustling neon-lit seaside resorts and unfrequented beaches. A rich history has left an indelible mark on Turkey, and the country overflows with historic sites and archaeological wonders set in a varied and beautiful landscape."
Turkey Travel Guide

I couldn't have said it any better myself!

Once the former strong-hold of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey has a population of 72.5 million people consisting mostly of Arabs, and a dominate religion of Islam. The historically awe-inspiring country lies between Europe: Greece and Bulgaria; and the Middle East: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Armenia, and Georgia. Turkey also borders the Mediterranean Sea to the east, as well as the Black Sea to it's north; allowing for a hub-bub of tourism to their shorelines and heavenly-sent weather. Turkey's capital city, Ankara, along with its more commonly known city, Istanbul, reel in thousands of tourist yearly; a few out of the thousands will be us!  

 Check in soon to see what we discover at our first stop in Istanbul, Turkey: the mother-load city of historical significance.
