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.

Reviewed By AnnBlacksea - Samsun, Turkey
The Gogceli mosque was built in 1206 and is entirely made of wooden planks interlocked together without any nails! It is unique as it has no minaret and has unusual Seljuk and Ottoman decorations on the ceiling. The mosque has survived the elements and earthquakes because of its flexible structure and choice of materials - chestnut, oak, elm and ash timber. The mosque is located in a massive cemetery with only a few surviving ancient gravestones. It seems as though the cemetery is now in use again with many recent graves. This unique mosque is worth a visit so make sure you are wearing socks to be able to enter the mosque and of course a head covering for ladies.
