Turkey is so much more than its coastal resorts. It’s standing in the shadow of former empires, sipping coffee on ancient city streets, playing games of backgammon with friendly locals, eating honeyed baklava, white-water rafting, ballooning over lunar landscapes and meze on Mediterranean harbours as the sun goes down. If you’re planning a gap year to Turkey, get ready for the time of your life. With bountiful opportunities for adventure, cultural immersion and historical riches beyond compare, this diverse, continent-spanning country is the ideal destination for travellers in search of something really special.
