Since it is located at the crossroads6 of Europe and Asia, Turkey is filled with endless possibilities.

Amazing Spots in Turkey
蓝色清真寺(Blue Mosque)
即苏丹艾哈迈德清真寺(Sultan Ahmed Mosque),约於西元1610年兴建而成,因其室内由一种蓝白色砖块铺设而成,故又称为蓝色清真寺。
加拉达塔(Galata Tower)
兴建於六世纪初,如今的加拉达塔是十四世纪後重建的塔。从前为军舍及天文台等,现在则是游客必去的景点。
托卡比皇宫(Topkapi Palace)
自1465年到1853年,托卡比皇宫一直都是鄂图曼帝国统治者的官邸及主要居所,现今则为当地主要的观光胜地。
圣索菲亚大教堂(Hagia Sophia)
圣索菲亚大教堂在1453年以前一直是拜占庭帝国的教堂,此後被土耳其人占领并改建成清真寺,独特之处就是基督教及回教的图腾都完整地共存其中。
特洛伊(Troy)
其遗址在十九世纪末被发现前一直都被视为传说中的虚构城市。诗人荷马创作的两部西方文学钜作《伊里亚德》和《奥德赛》中的特洛伊战争,便以此城市为中心。
沙芙兰布鲁(Safranbolu)
即著名的番红花城,为土耳其境内的古老城镇,完整地保留了大量的鄂图曼建筑和古老的街景风貌。
土耳其大市集(Grand Bazaar)
兴建於1461年,为世上规模最大、历史最悠久的市集之一,有六十多条室内街道和五千多间商铺,每天吸引的顾客将近五十万人。
