• Turkey is warm and spectacularly beautiful. With the most picturesque coastline in the Mediterranean region, awesome mountain geography.
• Turkey is a beach paradise with over 8000 km of golden sand and wide-ranging cuisines, fascinating history, beautiful landscape - and a different “ambience” in each region.

The architecture in each region illustrates the spread of cultures across the country and the society in each region has its own special style.

• Turkey has been commended with the 2008 Golf Destination of the Year Award for Europe at the IAGTO Awards. The Awards are the official annual awards for the golf tourism industry and on receiving the Award for Europe Ali Sahin, Director of Golf, Cornelia Golf Club said 'We are very proud and happy to win this award. The award means we have achieved something because we have worked very hard over the last 10 years. We started off with just one course in Turkey, and now we have 14'. See LID#320
