Turkey Tourism – A Cultural Hotspot

One of the world’s most historic cultural and religious regions is the country of Turkey. Not only is it a cradle of civilization, it is home to many beautiful landmarks and beaches. The combination of these factors has caused Turkey’s tourism industry to thrive over the last two decades and it continues to gain momentum. Amidst all of the history and coastline, there are some incredible cultural tourist attractions in Turkey.

One attraction that should be on any tourist’s agenda is the Haghia Sophia Church Museum. Originally a church only, it was built in the 6th Century and was the largest church in the world at the time of construction. It became a mosque in 1453, and was finally declared a museum in 1936. Imagine the history of a building that has seen events such as the fall of the Ottoman Empire and other historic occurrences. Speaking of the Ottoman Empire and religious establishments, Blue Mosque, Sultan Ahmet Camii was built in 1616 and was the highest Imperial Mosque of the Ottoman Empire. Its 260 windows allow in a breathtaking array of light.

For an interesting look at some unique geography, tourists can head out to the Cappadocia region. Cappadocia is a plateau in the middle of Turkey that was formed by the eruption of two volcanoes. The lava poured over the land, creating a plateau with a height of 3270 feet. As wind and rain eroded the plateau, strange fissures and valleys formed, making for some of the most singular geographical sights anywhere. Because Turkey maintains coasts on the Aegean, Black, and Mediterranean Seas, the beaches and strikingly blue water of locations such as Butterfly Valley, Akkum, Alanya, and Olimpos Cove will satisfy the sightseeing and swimming appetites of any visitor.

Because Turkey includes some of mankind’s earliest developments, there are several ancient cities that tourists simply must see. Ephesus is one such establishment, and it is one of the best preserved. It has its roots in the 12th Century BC and was one of the most important centers of religion and trade in the area. Over 250,000 people were found there during the Roman period, and Ephesus’s Temple of Artemis was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Odeon and Celsus Library are two of its most noteworthy locations.

Turkey offers a great deal of cultural history as well as sightseeing opportunities. Its significance in world history cannot be overstated, as it was part of the cradle of civilization. Because of this, and its lovely beaches, museums, and mosques, tourism in Turkey continues to thrive.
