“ The gladdest moment in human life is a departure into unknown lands. ”

Turkey, country that has a unique geographic position, lying partly in Asia and partly in Europe. Throughout its history it has acted as a bridge between the two continents which is situated at the crossroads of the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East, and eastern Mediterranean. It is among the larger countries of the region in terms of territory and population, and its land area is greater than that of any European state. Nearly all of the country is in Asia, comprising the oblong peninsula of Asia Minor—also known as Anatolia (Anadolu)—and the remainder—Turkish Thrace (Trakya)—lies in the extreme southeastern part of Europe.
