Introduction to Turkish cultural customs

Turkey is an Islamic country across Eurasia and is known as the cradle of civilization. It was the center of Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire and Ottoman Empire. It has a long history of 6500 years and the cultural and historical heritage of 13 different civilizations. In addition, the terrain surrounded by the sea on three sides and the complex geographical environment in the inland make it rich in tourism resources. "Different Asia, Different Europe" means that Turkey spans two continents with unique style and numerous cultural relics. Turkey is famous for its beautiful natural resources recently. The green waters along the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, the fairyland-like landforms formed by Cappadocia volcanic lava, the wildflowers and misty forests in the Black Sea mountains, and the unique scenery of the rugged grasslands in the east. Charming natural scenery and rich cultural heritage make Turkey enjoy the reputation of "tourist paradise". However, what attracts tourists in Turkey today is the perfect integration of various cultures, new and old, East and West, modern and traditional.
