土耳其共和国（土耳其语：Türkiye Cumhuriyeti）是一个横跨欧亚两洲的国家，面积约783,562平方公里。国土包括西亚的安纳托利亚半岛、以及巴尔干半岛的东色雷斯地区。北临黑海，南临地中海，东南与叙利亚、伊拉克接壤，西临爱琴海，并与希腊以及保加利亚接壤，东部与格鲁吉亚、亚美尼亚、阿塞拜疆和伊朗接壤。在安纳托利亚半岛和东色雷斯地区之间的，是博斯普鲁斯海峡、马尔马拉海和达达尼尔海峡，属黑海海峡，别称土耳其海峡，是连接黑海以及地中海的唯一航道。海岸线长7200公里，陆地边境线长2648公里[1]。其首都是位处安纳托利亚高原正中央的安卡拉。
巍峨的阿勒山高达17725英尺，山顶终年积雪覆盖，景色最为壮观，吸引了众多游客。此外，这还是一个河流湖泊众多的国度，底格里斯河和幼发拉底河均发源于此。土耳其的气候类型变化很大。东南部较干旱，中部安纳托利亚高原比较凉爽。一般来说，土耳其的夏季长，气温高，降雨少；冬季寒冷，寒流带来了降雪和冷雨。果园、麦田和水库储有充沛的雨水，葡萄园和去海滩游玩的人有充足的日照。气候多样性说明土耳其的农作物品种极为丰富。这里是世界上主要的烟草、阿月浑子（开心果）、葡萄干和水果蔬菜的产地之一。
这一地区再往南，跨过马尔马拉海是一片优良的农产区，种植有水果、橄榄、葡萄和番茄等。渔业、矿业和葡萄酒加工业是这一地区的重要产业，布尔萨市（人口200万）是重要的食品加工和汽车生产地。伊斯坦布尔（人口920万）是土耳其最大城市和港口，也是全国金融和商业中心。博斯普鲁斯海峡和达达尼尔海峡是战略性的水上通道，将爱琴海和地中海同马尔马拉海和黑海相连。土耳其监管着所有舰船的进出，也包括从俄国为数不多的不冻港开出的舰船，它们通过这两个海峡前往爱琴海和地中海的温暖海域。伊兹密尔美丽的乡村风光、未开掘的历史古迹、旖旎的海滩和波光粼粼的湛蓝海水，令世界各地的游客流连忘返。
土耳其旅游景点介绍之美食,土耳其菜肴一般包括酱汁美味配谷类食物、各种蔬菜、肉类、汤、橄榄油拌凉菜、糕点以及野菜，还有很多健康食品如熬成糖浆的葡萄汁、酸奶、蒸荞麦等。从一个地区到另一个地区，人们的口味发生着变化，因此形成了不同的饮食习惯，这种不同的饮食习惯在特殊场合、庆祝仪式和纪念活动中产生了一种近乎神圣的新含义。 土耳其料理在世界上是很有名的。尽管精心做出的料理看起来十分简单，但其新鲜材料所具有的鲜美味道是一般佳肴无法媲美的。料理的种类也非常多：有各种汤菜，有种类繁多的凉菜，以及各种肉料理和鱼料理。饭后，还有著名的土耳其点心和糕点等，最后是土耳其咖啡。在土耳其国内种植着各种各样的水果、蔬菜，另外由于土耳其三面环海，盛产多种多样的鱼类。所以土耳其料理全部使用新鲜的材料制成。 橄榄油凉拌菜：橄榄油则是由新鲜的油橄榄果实直接冷榨而成，不经加热和化学处理，保留了天然营养成分。不仅营养丰富，更是清新自然。 新鲜蔬菜洗净切块后加盐，再浇上橄榄油，美好的滋味，既清新又健康，让人心旷神怡！ 土耳其烤肉：到了土耳其，见到了真正的土耳其烤肉，才知道在国内对土耳其烤肉了了解是那么的贫乏。 壮观的烤肉柱、四溢的香气充满了大街小巷、商场、饭店、车站、游乐场所、居民区，已成为欧美街头一道亮丽的风景线。 其经久不衰的火爆场面令人叹为观止，流连忘返。 土耳其烤肉全球都很有名，它分为转烤、二烤、串烤和阿达纳烤肉等。
飞机——伊斯坦布尔是土耳其全国的重要交通枢纽，同时也是亚欧大陆的中转站，北京、上海、广州、香港都有直达伊斯坦布尔的航班。土耳其航空(THY)从伊斯坦布尔、安卡拉、伊兹米尔、阿达那、特拉布宗、达拉曼、安塔利亚各个国际机场都与国内主要城市间有航线网。
火车——从国内没有前往土耳其的火车，如果是顺利或者不嫌麻烦，可以从欧洲的主要城市搭乘列车可以进入伊斯坦布尔，但是火车并不是进入伊斯坦布尔最好的方式，土耳其的铁路不是非常密集，而且车速较慢。
轮船——土耳其海运提供了很多条合适观光的航线，这些航线分别从伊斯坦布尔的加拉塔桥（Galata Bridge）、斯克西（Sirkeci）、艾敏厄努（Eminonu）出发，最好事先预定，博斯普鲁斯海峡两岸也有对开航线。
出租车——土耳其起步价为2.5里拉,每公里1.6里拉。
到土耳其旅游，购物是最大的乐趣之一。各具特色的土耳其手工艺品琳琅满目，令人爱不释手。除了可以买到现代的商品之外，还有来自土耳其乡村和各省的传统手工艺品。游客可以买到家居用品和厨房用具，除此之外还有许多极具土耳其传统风格的装饰品。 最受度假者欢迎的当然是地毯，许多商店都出售各种皮革和山羊皮制品，黄铜和青铜器皿，银器，陶器，手工艺品，刺绣，以及著名的土耳其海泡石烟斗和缟玛瑙。土耳其地毯是最经典的土耳其旅游纪念品。 海泡石烟斗：海泡石是一种极轻质、吸收性极佳的稀有白色硬质黏土矿石。最优质、最适合用于烟斗制作的海泡石原料，产自伊斯坦布尔东南约200英里Eskisehir地区的地下400英尺深处。 海泡石烟斗用久了，在烟油和手汗的内外共同作用下，会散发出自然、深邃和高贵的棕金色。虽然海泡石质脆易碎，但仍极受烟斗爱好者的欢迎和追捧。 丝巾－－穆斯林国家的女性都得包头巾，所以丝巾也成为她们最重要的装饰品。阿拉伯风格的纹饰、四周的蕾丝或小珠子、以及艳丽的色彩，确实非常吸引目光。
土耳其的气候因地区不同而有所不同，可分为黑海性气候的黑海沿岸、大陆性气候的内陆、地中海性气候的爱琴海和地中海沿岸部。四面环海的土耳其海岸线长达八千公里。 土耳其沿海地区属于亚热带地中海气候，内陆高原比较干旱，向热带草原和沙漠型气候过渡。温差较大。内陆高原1月平均气温在0摄氏度以下，全年平均气温为16至22摄氏度。年降雨量平均在200至400毫米。峡谷地区1月平均气温高达7至9摄氏度；7月平均气温在25至30摄氏度之间。全年降水量600 至800毫米。沿海地区全年降雨量为500至700毫米。 禁忌： 土耳其社会等级化仍旧比较明显，对老人或有地位的人要表示恭敬。男女之前需要保持一定距离，避免亲吻。人们在进入清真寺前要脱鞋，而当游览尖塔时则要把鞋穿上。清真寺的宗教场所，会限制非伊斯兰教教徒入内，或开放时间有所不同。 土耳其是个颇讲究的民族，朋友见面先亲吻左、右脸颊，不太熟悉的则握手。到别人家里做客时要脱鞋。不要和情人在公共场合搂搂抱抱，这些被视为有碍观瞻。 土耳其人辟邪的“宝物”是“邪恶的眼睛”。许多人随时随地带这种蓝色的玻璃护身符，用以吸引邪恶之神的注意，逃避厄运。土耳其到处都有卖，非常便宜。
棉花银行舞蹈节： 在伊斯坦布尔举办的棉花银行（Pamukbank）舞蹈节，汇集了世界著名的舞蹈团体；同样吸引世界著名舞蹈团体的还有音乐节，至今已举办了10届；汇聚土耳其音乐家和世界爵士大师的国际爵士音乐节；Yapi Kredi艺术节则从摇滚、流行到古典、爵士，演出时间分散在全年，号称“全年音乐节”；富士世界音乐节则是上述音乐节中最重要的一个。 安卡拉国际音乐节： 在首都安卡拉，Sevda Cenap基金会于每年四五月份都会主办安卡拉国际音乐节。 该音乐节为欧洲艺术节协会成员之一。第16届安卡拉国际音乐节于1999年举行，到目前为止，参加过该音乐节的著名艺术家已多达8000多人。 此外，土耳其合唱协会举办的土耳其合唱节，目的是在全国推广多声部合唱。 它吸引了成千上万的音乐爱好者，每年都有越来越多的合唱团受邀参加，听众人数也逐年攀升。 伊兹密尔国际艺术节： 一年一度的伊兹密尔国际艺术节由伊兹密尔文化艺术教育基金会举办。2000年，第16届伊兹密尔国际艺术节在一些历史遗迹举行，如埃菲斯古剧场、塞尔萨斯图书馆、圣母玛丽亚小屋。世界著名艺术家和团体每年都会聚集于此，表演管弦乐、室内乐、芭蕾舞、戏剧、爵士乐和流行乐。 安塔利亚电影节： 土耳其历史最悠久的电影节是安塔利亚电影节。它有时也被称为“土耳其电影业的奥斯卡”，2000年刚举办了40周年庆典。 另外两个深受土耳其影迷忠爱的电影节为安卡拉国际电影节和阿达纳．阿尔丁．库萨电影节。

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. Kizkalesi The Castle of Korykos on shore faces another fort, Kizkalesi (Maiden’s Castle), that stands on a tiny island 200 meters offshore. Formerly a sea wall joined the two fortresses. 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. The castle has a circumference of 900 m and eight towers 能不能把分给我？！
