Travel guide - Turkey | Petit Futé (French)

Rarely, from traveler, we have seen as haunting country as Turkey. Hellenistic vestiges with Seljuk mosques, 10,000 years of history are superimposed. The artistic and historical heritage is inexhaustible, containing two of the seven wonders of the world. The paradise decor (lakes, seas, mountains) helps to transmit to the traveler what is called the "Turkish virus", the uncontrollable desire to come back. Shopping paradise, colorful souks offer traditional different objects: jewelry, spices, fabrics. The country beautifully retains its traditions but manages to add modernity. Nightlife reserves many surprises: American bars contrast with typically Turkish bars that we leave only in the early morning.
