A patchwork of Mediterranean landscapes and Eastern steppes, Turkey is characterised by mountainous terrain. It is crisscrossed by lakes and rivers, flanked by antique and pastoral seaside resorts, and bolstered in the east by the Ararat volcano and in the centre by the Taurus mountain range. Lovers of the new and unusual will be enchanted by the Black Sea coast that stretches from Amasra to Trabzon.
