Turkey, Located at the crossroads of many ancient civilizations, is a haven for archaeology enthusiasts. Throughout history, various empires and kingdoms—including the Hittites, Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans—have ruled over Anatolia. The country’s unique cultural heritage, stunning landscape, and the friendliness and warm hospitality of its people create a truly rewarding experience for visitors. Turkey boasts an abundance of archaeological wonders, making each trip feel too short. Personally, I have returned several times to explore one fascinating site after another.
