土耳其共和國(土耳其語:Türkiye Cumhuriyeti)是一個橫跨歐亞兩洲的國家,面積約783,562平方公里。國土包括西亞的安納托利亞半島、以及巴爾干半島的東色雷斯地區。北臨黑海,南臨地中海,東南與敘利亞、伊拉克接壤,西臨愛琴海,並與希臘以及保加利亞接壤,東部與喬治亞、亞美尼亞、亞塞拜然和伊朗接壤。在安納托利亞半島和東色雷斯地區之間的,是博斯普魯斯海峽、馬爾馬拉海和達達尼爾海峽,屬黑海海峽,別稱土耳其海峽,是連接黑海以及地中海的唯一航道。海岸線長7200公里,陸地邊境線長2648公里[1]。其首都是位處安納托利亞高原正中央的安卡拉。
巍峨的阿勒山高達17725英尺,山頂終年積雪覆蓋,景色最為壯觀,吸引了眾多遊客。此外,這還是一個河流湖泊眾多的國度,底格里斯河和幼發拉底河均發源於此。土耳其的氣候類型變化很大。東南部較乾旱,中部安納托利亞高原比較涼爽。一般來說,土耳其的夏季長,氣溫高,降雨少;冬季寒冷,寒流帶來了降雪和冷雨。果園、麥田和水庫儲有充沛的雨水,葡萄園和去海灘遊玩的人有充足的日照。氣候多樣性說明土耳其的農作物品種極為豐富。這里是世界上主要的煙草、阿月渾子(開心果)、葡萄乾和水果蔬菜的產地之一。
這一地區再往南,跨過馬爾馬拉海是一片優良的農產區,種植有水果、橄欖、葡萄和番茄等。漁業、礦業和葡萄酒加工業是這一地區的重要產業,布爾薩市(人口200萬)是重要的食品加工和汽車生產地。伊斯坦布爾(人口920萬)是土耳其最大城市和港口,也是全國金融和商業中心。博斯普魯斯海峽和達達尼爾海峽是戰略性的水上通道,將愛琴海和地中海同馬爾馬拉海和黑海相連。土耳其監管著所有艦船的進出,也包括從俄國為數不多的不凍港開出的艦船,它們通過這兩個海峽前往愛琴海和地中海的溫暖海域。伊茲密爾美麗的鄉村風光、未開掘的歷史古跡、旖旎的海灘和波光粼粼的湛藍海水,令世界各地的遊客流連忘返。
土耳其旅遊景點介紹之美食,土耳其菜餚一般包括醬汁美味配谷類食物、各種蔬菜、肉類、湯、橄欖油拌冷盤、糕點以及野菜,還有很多健康食品如熬成糖漿的葡萄汁、酸奶、蒸蕎麥等。從一個地區到另一個地區,人們的口味發生著變化,因此形成了不同的飲食習慣,這種不同的飲食習慣在特殊場合、慶祝儀式和紀念活動中產生了一種近乎神聖的新含義。 土耳其料理在世界上是很有名的。盡管精心做出的料理看起來十分簡單,但其新鮮材料所具有的鮮美味道是一般佳餚無法媲美的。料理的種類也非常多:有各種湯菜,有種類繁多的冷盤,以及各種肉料理和魚料理。飯後,還有著名的土耳其點心和糕點等,最後是土耳其咖啡。在土耳其國內種植著各種各樣的水果、蔬菜,另外由於土耳其三面環海,盛產多種多樣的魚類。所以土耳其料理全部使用新鮮的材料製成。 橄欖油涼拌菜:橄欖油則是由新鮮的油橄欖果實直接冷榨而成,不經加熱和化學處理,保留了天然營養成分。不僅營養豐富,更是清新自然。 新鮮蔬菜洗凈切塊後加鹽,再澆上橄欖油,美好的滋味,既清新又健康,讓人心曠神怡! 土耳其烤肉:到了土耳其,見到了真正的土耳其烤肉,才知道在國內對土耳其烤肉了了解是那麼的貧乏。 壯觀的烤肉柱、四溢的香氣充滿了大街小巷、商場、飯店、車站、游樂場所、居民區,已成為歐美街頭一道亮麗的風景線。 其經久不衰的火爆場面令人嘆為觀止,流連忘返。 土耳其烤肉全球都很有名,它分為轉烤、二烤、串烤和阿達納烤肉等。
飛機——伊斯坦布爾是土耳其全國的重要交通樞紐,同時也是亞歐大陸的中轉站,北京、上海、廣州、香港都有直達伊斯坦布爾的航班。土耳其航空(THY)從伊斯坦布爾、安卡拉、伊茲米爾、阿達那、特拉布宗、達拉曼、安塔利亞各個國際機場都與國內主要城市間有航線網。
火車——從國內沒有前往土耳其的火車,如果是順利或者不嫌麻煩,可以從歐洲的主要城市搭乘列車可以進入伊斯坦布爾,但是火車並不是進入伊斯坦布爾最好的方式,土耳其的鐵路不是非常密集,而且車速較慢。
輪船——土耳其海運提供了很多條合適觀光的航線,這些航線分別從伊斯坦布爾的加拉塔橋(Galata Bridge)、斯克西(Sirkeci)、艾敏厄努(Eminonu)出發,最好事先預定,博斯普魯斯海峽兩岸也有對開航線。
計程車——土耳其起步價為2.5里拉,每公里1.6里拉。
到土耳其旅遊,購物是最大的樂趣之一。各具特色的土耳其手工藝品琳琅滿目,令人愛不釋手。除了可以買到現代的商品之外,還有來自土耳其鄉村和各省的傳統手工藝品。遊客可以買到家居用品和廚房用具,除此之外還有許多極具土耳其傳統風格的裝飾品。 最受度假者歡迎的當然是地毯,許多商店都出售各種皮革和山羊皮製品,黃銅和青銅器皿,銀器,陶器,手工藝品,刺綉,以及著名的土耳其海泡石煙斗和縞瑪瑙。土耳其地毯是最經典的土耳其旅遊紀念品。 海泡石煙斗:海泡石是一種極輕質、吸收性極佳的稀有白色硬質黏土礦石。最優質、最適合用於煙斗製作的海泡石原料,產自伊斯坦布爾東南約200英里Eskisehir地區的地下400英尺深處。 海泡石煙斗用久了,在煙油和手汗的內外共同作用下,會散發出自然、深邃和高貴的棕金色。雖然海泡石質脆易碎,但仍極受煙斗愛好者的歡迎和追捧。 絲巾--穆斯林國家的女性都得包頭巾,所以絲巾也成為她們最重要的裝飾品。阿拉伯風格的紋飾、四周的蕾絲或小珠子、以及艷麗的色彩,確實非常吸引目光。
土耳其的氣候因地區不同而有所不同,可分為黑海性氣候的黑海沿岸、大陸性氣候的內陸、地中海性氣候的愛琴海和地中海沿岸部。四面環海的土耳其海岸線長達八千公里。 土耳其沿海地區屬於亞熱帶地中海氣候,內陸高原比較乾旱,向熱帶草原和沙漠型氣候過渡。溫差較大。內陸高原1月平均氣溫在0攝氏度以下,全年平均氣溫為16至22攝氏度。年降雨量平均在200至400毫米。峽谷地區1月平均氣溫高達7至9攝氏度;7月平均氣溫在25至30攝氏度之間。全年降水量600 至800毫米。沿海地區全年降雨量為500至700毫米。 禁忌: 土耳其社會等級化仍舊比較明顯,對老人或有地位的人要表示恭敬。男女之前需要保持一定距離,避免親吻。人們在進入清真寺前要脫鞋,而當游覽尖塔時則要把鞋穿上。清真寺的宗教場所,會限制非伊斯蘭教教徒入內,或開放時間有所不同。 土耳其是個頗講究的民族,朋友見面先親吻左、右臉頰,不太熟悉的則握手。到別人家裡做客時要脫鞋。不要和情人在公共場合摟摟抱抱,這些被視為有礙觀瞻。 土耳其人辟邪的「寶物」是「邪惡的眼睛」。許多人隨時隨地帶這種藍色的玻璃護身符,用以吸引邪惡之神的注意,逃避厄運。土耳其到處都有賣,非常便宜。
棉花銀行舞蹈節: 在伊斯坦布爾舉辦的棉花銀行(Pamukbank)舞蹈節,匯集了世界著名的舞蹈團體;同樣吸引世界著名舞蹈團體的還有音樂節,至今已舉辦了10屆;匯聚土耳其音樂家和世界爵士大師的國際爵士音樂節;Yapi Kredi藝術節則從搖滾、流行到古典、爵士,演出時間分散在全年,號稱「全年音樂節」;富士世界音樂節則是上述音樂節中最重要的一個。 安卡拉國際音樂節: 在首都安卡拉,Sevda Cenap基金會於每年四五月份都會主辦安卡拉國際音樂節。 該音樂節為歐洲藝術節協會成員之一。第16屆安卡拉國際音樂節於1999年舉行,到目前為止,參加過該音樂節的著名藝術家已多達8000多人。 此外,土耳其合唱協會舉辦的土耳其合唱節,目的是在全國推廣多聲部合唱。 它吸引了成千上萬的音樂愛好者,每年都有越來越多的合唱團受邀參加,聽眾人數也逐年攀升。 伊茲密爾國際藝術節: 一年一度的伊茲密爾國際藝術節由伊茲密爾文化藝術教育基金會舉辦。2000年,第16屆伊茲密爾國際藝術節在一些歷史遺跡舉行,如埃菲斯古劇場、塞爾薩斯圖書館、聖母瑪麗亞小屋。世界著名藝術家和團體每年都會聚集於此,表演管弦樂、室內樂、芭蕾舞、戲劇、爵士樂和流行樂。 安塔利亞電影節: 土耳其歷史最悠久的電影節是安塔利亞電影節。它有時也被稱為「土耳其電影業的奧斯卡」,2000年剛舉辦了40周年慶典。 另外兩個深受土耳其影迷忠愛的電影節為安卡拉國際電影節和阿達納.阿爾丁.庫薩電影節。

Agri Ishak Pasha Palace Though named as a "palace," the Ishak Pasha palace is more a kulliye. The palace is the most famous building after the Topkapi palace built in the 18th Century, ring the Lale period, in the classical style. The building is located on the slopes of a hill 5 km. From the Dogubeyazit town. Besides displaying one of the finest examples of the Ottoman architecture, the palace is also known for its diverse history. According to the inscription on the Takkapi gate in the Harem quarter, the palace is built in 1199 Hicri (the Moslem calendar), or 1784 A.D. The building hovers on firm, stony ground because of its location on a slope. Although the palace is located within the centre of the Dogu Beyazit region, three sides of the building (the northern, western, and southern sides) are surrounded by steep rocks. The only access to the palace is through a slightly flat pass. The main gate, the Cumle gate, of the palace is erected against this pass. Since the palace is erected at a time when the castles lost their geographical advantage and when firearms began to be used instead of the sword, the palace』s eastern wing defense is weak. The Cumle gate is made of traditionally carved and sculptured stone. Not many palaces built in the classical Turkish architectural style are left today. The Ishak Pasa Palace is one of them. The Carain Cave The cave is located 27 km. From Antalya at the Katran Mountains. The cave is a natural formation and was inhabited ring the prehistoric ages (Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, chalcolithic). The cave yielded skeletons and objects, like dressed stone tools and weapons, processed flintstones, that shed light on life in the prehistoric ages. The Bust of Alexander the Great The bust of Alexander the Great was discovered ring the excavation of Pergamum. The bust found in Pergamum is part of a of the original statue of Alexander, a work by Lysippos, the personal sculptor of Alexander the Great. The bust dates from the 3rd Century B.C. The original Lysippos statue of Alexander has never been found, instead, there are several copies of the statue made in Greek and Roman periods. The Pergamum bust, the only piece remaining from the statue, is on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The Relief on Ivriz Hill The relief can be found at the spring of the Ivriz stream, 12 km. From Eregli - Konya. The 6.08 metres high relief was a religious sanctuary which dates back to the Late Hittite period in the 8th Century B.C. and depicts king Warpalavas giving offerings to Santaj, the Hittite god of fertility. For more information about the Hittites please refer to the Yazilikaya section of this site. Anadoluhisari Fortress Anadoluhisari on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus is the oldest Turkish building in Istanbul. It was constructed by the Ottoman sultan Bayezid I Yildirim in 1395, and later enlarged by Mehmet II (1451-1481) who built the outer walls. At the centre is a 25 m high square tower of four storeys, surrounded by a 20 m high wall 1.5 m thick in the form of an irregular pentagon. The 2 m thick outer wall measures 80 m from north to south and 65 m from east to west. As well as accommodation for the garrison the fortress contained its own mosque. Van Castle The Urartians constructed dozens of castles in this mountainous region of eastern Turkey, such as Toprakkale, Kalecik, Cavustepe, Edremit, Asagi Anfaz, Yukari Anfaz, Zengibar, Muradiye, Kecikiran, Hosap, Agarti, Delicay and Zernakitepe. The most important of all is undoubtedly Van Castle, which was built in the year 834 BC by King Sarr I of Urartu. The northern side rests against steep slopes and to the south are rocky cliffs. The castle measures 1800 m long by 1200 m wide, and within its walls are many royal tombs and inscriptions. Four walls surround the castle, two of Urartian construction, and two built nearly two thousand years later by the Akkoyunlu and Ottomans. In front of the north walls is an open air temple carved into the rock, and within the walls are a mosque, medrese, barracks and cisterns. Sultan Han (Alaeddin Kervansarai) The kervansarai is located in the town of Sultanhani, 40 km. From Aksaray. The han is one of the best examples of Selcuq architecture. As the greatest han built ring the Selcuq period, it was construv-cted by Alaeddin Keykubat I. In 1229. The han was renovated and expanded to a greater size in 1278 after a fire broke out. The architecture of the han is Muhammed bin Havlan el-Dimiski. The han is built on a plan of 50x110 m., and consists of a winter and a summer residence. The most significant part of the han are the reliefs on the Main Gate. Grand Bazaar Throughout the Byzantine period, the grand bazaar was a hectic open air centre for trade. Mehmet II. Continued this tradition but added two covered bedesten (the older version of the modern shopping malls today). The bazaar extended to an even greater scale by Suleyman I. (1520-1566). The last additions of bedesten shops in the bazaar were made in 1701. Misir Carsisi (Egyptian Bazaar) The Egyptian Bazaar (Misir Carsisi) It is the second covered bazaar of Istan- bul. Was built ring the era of Mehmet IV, in compliance with the request of Queen Mother Hatice Turhan. Built in 1660 by the architect Kasim Aga as part of the Yeni Camii Mosque Complex, the bazaar lies today next to the mosque. The bazaar has an 』L』 shape with six gates and 86 shops operating in the bazaar today.

The Maiden』s Castle is located 60 km. From Mersin, near the Erdemli town. It is assumed that the castle originally had a road connecting the castle to the mainland. The road eroded with time and the the castle remains separated from the mainland. The Maiden』s Castle, together with the Castle of Korykos, were built in the IV. Century B.C. by the Greek settlers to prevent assaults to the city of Korykos from the sea. The city of Korykos remained an important harbour in Southeastern Meditteranean until the XIII. Century A.D. The castle passed into Turkish hands when it was conquered by Ibrahim Bey of the Karamanoglu Principality in 1448 and was extensively renovated.
