BOUT TURKEY

Central Anatolia is home to the world's first town, a neolithic city dating back to 6500 BC which was discovered at Çatalhöyük.Sixteen ancient civilisations, from thi Hittites to the Ottomans, have contributed to this exotic paradise over thousands of years. You will probably travel along roads that great warriors, colourful silk caravans, and couriers of mail or secret treaties passed along many centuries ago. You will follow in the footsteps of St. Paul end the mystic Sufis spreading divine knowledge.

Anatolia was the home of Heredotus, the Father of History, and Homer who wrote of the Trojan wars in his Iliad.It is also the home of the mystical'Whirling Dervishes', the birthplace of St. Nicholas and the place where the Virgin Mary spent her last days. There are more Greek ruins here than in Greece itself, and indeed more Roman ruins than in Italy.

Turkey is a land steeped in myth - King Midas with his 'golden touch', together with the Knot of Gordian that the young Alexander was able to undo with a single strike of his sword. Cleopatra and Mark Antony chose to honeymoon in this beautiful land under the divinity of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
