Geographically located in the heart of the world, Turkey has a diverse culture influenced by the Balkans, Mediterranean, Middle East, Europe and Asia. Its 8333 kilometers of coastline connects the natural and civilized wonders of the Mediterranean, Aeagean and Black seas. From the beginning of the Neolithic Age and Greco-Roman civilization until modern times, this unique position has given the

country an ethnically diverse culture, rich and versatile landscape and a cosmopolitan lifestyle. The legacy of thousands of years of architecture, literature and arts has made the country the background location of humanity’s most well-known historical events and narratives from Homer’s Iliad to Nobel Prize winning modern novels.
