Historic Setting: Anatolia is one of the oldest continually inhabited regions in the world. Hittites, Phrygian, Ionian, Lycian, Lydian, Carian, Pamphylian Kingdoms and Persians existed in this multicultural region and it fell to Alexander the Great in 334 BC. It subsequently became the capital of the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire and later The Ottoman Empire.

In the UNESCO "World Cultural Heritage List" there are 9 heritage sites from Turkey, out of 830 properties around the world.

Two Continents: Turkey is a unique country that lies along two continents. One side of Turkey is part of Europe, while the rest is geographically situated in West Asia.

Turkey proudly sits astride two continents: a position that has given rise to a culture that reflects both East and West.

Turkish Cuisine: Turkish cuisine is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine, which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines. Aside from common Turkish specialities that can be found throughout the country, there are also many region-specific specialities such as kebabs, mezes, baklava, kadayıf, künefe, etc.
