Turkey is one of the most diverse countries, historically, culturally, gastronomically and geographically. While some people prefer to go skiing in the winter months, others prefer to sunbathe on the coast. Not many countries can offer both options during the same month but Turkey can.

As a tourist destination, Turkey is often mistakenly stereotyped as a sun-and-sea location, and its most beautiful spots remain undiscovered. If you are living in Turkey, or are coming over and want to do more than just get a quick tan, then check out this website for information on some of Turkey’s lesser known attractions.
