Turkey, moreover, officially called the Republic of Turkey is a country in Asia. He is approximately 3-times as big as Germany. Approximately 97% of the total area of the country belong to Asia. About 3% belong to Europe. Turkey is the successor state of the Ottoman Empire. This Republic was after 1 World War II by the famous Mustafa Kemal Atatürk founded. This is also a name that you should remember. In almost every city, there is one for the founder of modern Turkey a monument. Negative comments about this hero you should refrain here. The Republic of Turkey is a secular state. This means, however, that a holiday in this Muslim country, not for the tourists represent a significant shift. He is from the other faiths as well as not notice if he does not want. Secularism comes from the founder of the State of Mustafa Kemal “Ataturk Cube. He wanted Turkey to modernize European model. A particularly good example of secularism are the schools in Turkey. Here, the students not in school headscarf or other religious symbols with them. Even the religious education is a purely private event. Herewith the school has nothing to do.

Turkey, you will find on 2 continents. In Anatolia, which is the Asian part of Turkey, is about 97% of the total area of this country. The European part of Turkey lies in the west. Part of Thrace, as the name makes around 3% of the total land area. During the term of Anatolia, the Germans have often prejudices. Did you already incidentally, also the beautiful coastal resorts such as Bodrum or Antalya Anatolia count? The borders of this country have a length of around 9,850 km. Of these, about 7,200 km of sea surrounded. In the West you can find the Aegean Sea. Here are famous cities such as the city of Izmir. In the south you will find the Mediterranean. The nearest major airport is located here in Antalya. In the north of Turkey to find the Black Sea. This is also, for example, the city of Samsun. This region is very famous for its black tea as well as for all annual hazelnut harvest. Turkey counts the total 8 borders with neighboring states. Here one finds Greece (Incidentally, for many long-term tourists plays a major role, because you through a day trip to Greece a visa for Turkey can be extended without any problems), Bulgaria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The dispute between Turkey and Syria also provide occasional tensions.

In the popular tourist regions to get this, however, with nothing. Abroad it is also not borne out of fear that tourists could stay. The tourists always react sensitively when such messages are in circulation, but believe me, as a tourist to get really nothing to do with and feels safe in this country. The north of the country, however, is a case for itself. Here tourists seldom come out. This region is earthquake-prone and not really nice to holiday. The earthquakes are here, however the agenda. Who gets panic now, you can rest assured. My last earthquake I have for a small vascular incident on hold. It was really unspectacular.
