Türkiye

Türkiye

Türkiye stands where Europe meets Asia, and its long history shows at every turn. Istanbul, spread across both shores of the Bosphorus, is crowned with Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, while the interior hides the fairy-chimney valleys of Cappadocia and the coasts offer turquoise bays on the Aegean and the Mediterranean. With its rich cuisine, lively bazaars and warm welcome, Türkiye has become a favourite destination for many Libyan families.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families enjoy the beaches of Antalya, the parks of Istanbul and the cool green landscapes of Bursa, Trabzon and Uzungöl. History lovers visit Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and Topkapı Palace, then the ancient city of Ephesus and the white terraces of Pamukkale. Türkiye is also a well-established destination for medical treatment, and shoppers find everything from the Grand Bazaar to modern malls.
