Turkey
Airports
Istanbul
: There are two airports in Istanbul, one in
the European side, Ataturk airport and the other in
the Asian side, Sabiha Gokcen. Pegasus offers some of
its cheapest fares from Sabiha Gokcen.
Straddling
two continents, Europe and Asia, Turkey has an unrivalled
history stretching back thousands of years. From the
ancient Hittites to the Ottomans, dozens of civilizations
have made Turkey their home, leaving behind them a dazzling
historical and archaeological heritage.
Today,
the country’s archaeological and cultural wonders,
and its long Mediterranean coastline, are a Mecca for
tourists, attracting millions of European holidaymakers
each year. Among the top draws is Istanbul with its
fabulous setting, wealth of historic sights and vibrant
cultural life. Also not to be missed are the amazingly
well-preserved remains of Greco-Roman cities such as
Ephesus or Pergamon, and the coastal resorts with their
sandy beaches and hedonistic nightlife. The austere
beauty of the Anatolian plateau, the surreal eroded
landscape of Cappadocia and the atmospheric ruins of
the enigmatic Hittites await discovery. Here, too, is
the unique experience of watching the Whirling Dervishes
spin their way to ecstasy.
