Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean

This is a country that spans two continents, (Europe and the larger part in Asia) playing a very important strategic role in the world. Turkey has a long and varied history, from the Neolithic Period, 7000 B.C., through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and Anatolia’s Dark Age, 700 – 490 B.C.   During these times Turkey flourished, but soon things went dark.  A close look at Turkey’s history fills volumes.  The country is now 96% Muslim. Christianity was very important, and many locations mentioned in the New Testament still exist.  Explore the Mediterranean coast, Lycia, Dereagzi’s Byzantine castle, mountainside ruins of Arykanda, Olympos, Yanartas, Andriake, the Kikov peninsula, Kale, Kalkan and Patara.
