Turkey Culture

Visit Istanbul to see the fusion of East-West music and visual arts. Visits to galleries, museums, and a look at a cymbal-making workshop. 

And by night, take your pick of events in a city alive with music--in concert halls & historic ruins,  inside tiny clubs, on the streets, and even afloat on ferry-boats.

Some highlights of the city..(there are many more...)
Try Istanbul at summertime or spring..
Visit the magical Bosphorus and take a cruise around it from Bebek.

if you want to see what Greeks used to create and how well they are standing even 4000 years later, go to Ephesus. a whole city remains there to prove that once upon a time Greeks were enlightening the world with cultural insights. definitely worth visiting.
