BEST PORTS & ANCHORAGES

%%country_encode%%

Turkey is a country where diverse worlds come together, a crossroads of civilizations that has been a meeting point for cultures, ideas, and empires for millennia. Bridging Europe and Asia, Turkey’s landscapes are as varied as its history—ranging from large cities steeped in ancient traditions to serene coastlines and rugged mountains. Each corner of the country is unique, whether it’s the timeless beauty of Istanbul, the surreal rock formations of Cappadocia, or the beaches of the Turquoise Coast. Turkey is also home to the world’s oldest known temple, Göbekli Tepe. Located in southeastern Turkey, it dates back over 11,000 years—making it older than Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt.
