Turkey
Turkey straddles two continents, and the seam shows — Byzantine domes and Ottoman minarets rise above Istanbul's skyline while Anatolian steppe stretches east toward the Iranian border. The Aegean coast smells of salt and wild thyme; the interior is drier, quieter, older.
About Turkey
Overview
Straddling southeastern Europe and western Asia, Turkey borders Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, with coastlines on the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Black Sea. Ankara is the capital; Istanbul the cultural and commercial centre. Turkish is the official language and the Turkish lira the currency. The country carries a layered identity shaped by millennia of empires.
