Turkey's charm and mysteries are far reaching, partly thanks to its diverse nature. Its multiple neighbours provide hints about its make-up. Influences from Asia, Europe and Africa have fashioned Turkey into the intriguing cultural centre it is today. The country's scenery and landscapes are just as varied, with mountains, valleys and stretching coastlines all waiting to be explored. Surrounded by three seas – the Black Sea to the north, the Aegean to the west and the Mediterranean to the south – there's plenty of room for beautiful unspoilt beaches where sun-seekers can stretch out and soak up the glorious heat.
