One of the more popular travel destinations in the world, Turkey bridges the geographical East and the West and also combines a number of cultural influences. Here, you can visit pristine beaches overlooking Mediterranean Sea or head to Cappadocia, where you can take in a splendid view of the landscape from a hot-air balloon.
