Tyrkia
Turkey, straddling Asia and Europe, is dominated by the Asia Minor peninsula, while its European part is Eastern Thrace. The capital is Ankara and the largest city is Istanbul. It borders many countries, which has made it a meeting point of cultures. Turkey tempts visitors with a wealth of monuments such as the Hagia Sophia and Cappadocia. The climate is varied: the coasts have warm summers and mild winters, while the interior is more continental. The best time to visit is spring and autumn.
