Here are the greatest wonders of Turkey -
architectural and sculptural marvels from
ancient times, masterpieces of Byzantine art,
the great buildings and decorative schemes of
the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, and spec-
tacular landscapes. The visitor to Turkey dis-
covers an extraordinary country of matchless
variety and contrast: European Turkey, with
the Selimiye Mosque at Edirne; Istanbul,
where East meets West in a city of continual
contrasts; the Aegean and Mediterranean
coasts, where wildflowers bloom amid Greco-
Roman sites; and far to the east, the border-
lands, where the feudal palace of Ishak Pasha
commands the Silk Road.
The beauties of the land and of the Turkish
people are equally varied and memorable -
the turning of the seasons in Anatolia, village
markets, pasturing the herds - a distinctive
and colorful way of life, unchanged from time
immemorial and brilliantly captured by the
internationally renowned photographers
Roland and Sabrina...
