Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye [ˈtyɾcije]), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti [ˈtyɾcije d͡ʒumˈhuɾijeti] ( listen)), is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe and Asia. Ankara is the capital while Istanbul is the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre, classified as a leading global city.

Mevlana Whirling Dervishes

Reviewed By So2Di

it is just hard to explain this experience. it remains a feeling of peace and calmness in one's mind. the ceremony held in culture center is big and special. but the small sema meetings held in different places around the city are more folksy and enjoyable.

Fire of Anatolia

Reviewed By 943stephenh

We had been lucky enough to see a sample of the show at a hotel in antalya a couple of years back. And the full show is really well worth going to. For our money the review that complained about the arena has it wrong. It is not The O2 but perfectly adequate. And show tickets can be had for not much more than £20 (the O2 want £75 for the show their Feb 2019) - with travel on top. We found the first half a bit slow to get going but it had a very good finish. The end was also a bit slow at the beginning but wow did it build to a great level. The drumming sequence was (I thought) superb. The skill and athleticism of the dancers is amazing. A Turkish version of Riverdance seems a great description to me. A great night out. See it in UK or wherever would be my recommendation.
