Much of the country is undeveloped, with beautiful, natural outdoor spaces, used for outdoor sporting activities in all seasons. Its land has been the cradle of some of the world’s the oldest civilizations and religions. Life in Turkey is relaxed; Turkish people are warm and hospitable to foreigners. You can find a very wide range of delicious food; Turkish cuisine is one of the oldest and richest in the world. Turkey has something for every type of visitor.
