Turkey is known as the 'bridge' between Asia and Europe. Especially the capital city, Istanbul, which captivates many (including me), lies across both continents.

Popular are mainly vacations in Turkey by the sea or sailing trips in the Aegean. You shouldn't overlook the exciting cities of Bursa and Izmir. These places are fantastic and I really enjoyed them. I'm also thrilled by the friendly and open people as well as the delicious cuisine.
