TOUR PROGRAM 3
TURKEY THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION ( 10 DAYS )
Anatolia has been called ‘the cradle of civilization’ and by travelling through this historic land, one would discover what exactly is meant by this phrase.
The world's first town, a Neolithic city at Catalhoyuk dates back to 6500 B.C. From the Neolithic days up to the present, Turkey boats a rich culture
that has made an everlasting impression on modern civilization through the centuries. The heir to many centuries of cultures makes Turkey a paradise of
information and cultural wealth. Hattis, Hitites, Phrygians, Urartians, Lycians, Lydians, Ionians, Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Byzantinians,
Selchuks, and Ottomans have all made important contributions to Anatolian and Turkish histories, and ancient sites and ruins scattered throughout the
country give proof of each civilization's unique distinction.
