About Turkey
Turkey embraces two continents with one arm reaching out to Asia and other to Europe. Through the border city Istanbul's heart, the Bosphorus, course the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn. The former capital of three successive empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman, Istanbul today honors and preserves the legacy of its past while looking forward to a modern future.
