turkey
Get charmed by the exoticism of Turkey, a country situated within both Europe and Asia. Offering a number of beach resorts at the Black, Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, it also has a vivid tourist scene. If you're tired of going to the seaside and getting a suntan, you have the chance to admire a number of tourist attractions and places of historical importance, as Turkey is an ancient country. There are also great shopping options and dining establishments. The traditional cuisine bears Arabic, Mediterranean and Caucasian influences, and most of the meals are worth trying. Our advice is to try a lamb-based dish as well as some of the desserts, such as baklava, Turkish delight and mahallebi. A cup of strong Turkish coffee should top it all off nicely.
