Short guide to Turkey

Lodged between Europe and the Middle East and caught between the traditional and the modern, Turkey is a fusion of both eastern and western cultures.

Turkey has been the centre for two great civilisations, namely, the capital of Christianity and the Byzantine Empire before it was conquered by the Muslim armies and turned into the centre of the Islamic state.
