Culture
Turkey offers the visitor a rich and colourful culture with
a unique blend of East and West. Turkey is a secular, constitutional
republic established in 1923, following the fall of Ottoman
Empire after World War I. In spite of its close relations with
the east, Turkey exhibits a great degree of western influence.
6 percent of the world's Muslim population lives in Turkey.
Though 99 percent of Turkish population is Islamic, the constitution
has proclaimed Turkey as a secular state. The people are given
complete freedom to choose their religious beliefs. However,
Islam exerts a great influence over the culture and life at
Turkey. A moderate sort of Sunni Islam remains the unofficial
religion of the state.
Special Attractions
Istanbul - Our tour begins with a drive across the magnificent
Bosphorus Suspension Bridge, which divides the continents of
Europe and Asia. Then, we continue to Camlica Hill, the highest
point of Istanbul. From here you can take photos of the stunning
panorama before you. A short drive from here is the summer palace
of the Sultans which is located in a small village by the Bosphorus
called Beylerbeyi. Beylerbeyi Palace is a mansion built under
the influence of Western architecture in the 19th century and
we will take a guided tour of its extravagantly decorated interior.
After lunch visit the Egyptian Spice Bazaar which is full of
the mystical aromas of various spices and colourful shops selling
fruit, vegetables, flowers and fish etc. Next we board our boat
for a cruise along the Bosphorus, the waterway separating the
two continents of Europe and Asia. As we travel, you will have
the chance to see the European style palaces of the Ottomans
and the palaces of Dolmabahce and Beylerbeyi, in striking contrast
to some of the modern villas that line the shores.
Antalya - The principal resort of the Mediterranean is
the port city of Antalya which is an attractive setting with
shady, palm lined boulevards and a picturesque old quarter called
Kaleici which has narrow streets and wooden houses next to the
old city walls. Take a walk through Kaleici visiting the Three
Arched Hadrian Gate. Continue to Perge - an important city of
ancient Pamphylia. Visit the Theatre noted for the marble relief
work of its stage and its three sectioned memorial fountain.
Then visit the city gate flanked by two lofty towers, a long
colonnaded way that was once lined with shops and mosaic pavements,
the Agora and buildings that once housed the Baths and Gymnasium.
Lunch is at local restaurant. Aspendos - dominating the site
is the best preserved Theatre of antiquity seating 15,000. The
Galleries, stage decorations and the acoustics all reflect the
success of the architect. Close to the Theatre Basilica and
Agora, see the remains of an aqueduct, which was one of the
largest in Anatolia. The tour will end with the visit to Side,
one of the best-known classical sites in Turkey and was an ancient
harbour whose name meant 'pomegranate'. Side is a resort town
on the southern coast of Turkey, near the villages of Manavgat
and Selimiye , 75 km from Antalya.
