Where Europe and Asia meet, a culture spanning thousands of years unfolds. Turkey is a country of contrasts: ancient ruins and vibrant cities, barren plateaus and Mediterranean coastlines. In Cappadocia, tuff rock formations create surreal landscapes, while Istanbul fascinates with its Ottoman splendour. Turkish cuisine, regionally diverse and full of flavours, tells of trade routes and cultural exchange. And often it is the inconspicuous places – a small restaurant, a cooperative, a bazaar – that show how tradition and modernity go hand in hand here.
