Turkiye
Authentic. Vivid. Majestic.
crossroads of
Continents
A repository of unsurpassed cultural wealth gleaned from 5,000 years at the crossroads of civilization, transcontinental Turkiye has been the world's greatest epicenter of exchange between East and West since the dawn of civilization.
There were the Persians from the east. Then Alexander the Great from the west, who slashed the Gordion Knot near Ankara then traveled eastward to conquer Asia. That west-to-east cultural tide reversed once more when, 1,000 years ago, Turks originating in Mongolia's Altai Mountains swept down through Persia and claimed Türkiye for themselves.

At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Turkiye’s fortuitous geography has made it the world's greatest epicenter of exchange between East and West for the past 5,000 years. The culmination of the Silk Road and the capital of four distinct empires, for sheer cultural wealth and diversity, Turkiye is unrivaled.
