The country between orient and occident is a country full of contrast, manifold and diversified. Unique landscapes, sunny coasts at the Mediterranean Sea, many historical sites and hospitable people invite people who like travelling to explore the country. I'd like to give a short overview for orientation. Our journey begins in Istanbul. 
 
 
 Istanbul

It's best to get to know Istanbul on the sea. All important ferries cast off Eminönü! After the strenuous sightseeing the princes islands in Marmara Sea are very recreative (there are no cars) with manorial houses, pine groves and bays for swimming (not on the weekends).
