| Visa Req. |
Citizens from a long list of countries
do not require a Visa to enter Turkey. This list includes
some South American, European, Asian and Middle Eastern
countries, so it is worth checking out whether or not
you will need a Visa. However, travelers from Canada,
the UK, the USA, Australia, Hong Kong, and a number
of other countries do need a visa to enter Turkey. Holders
of UK and American passports can obtain a Visa on arrival
at the point of entry to Turkey. Those from the UK will
pay 16 and Americans 20. All other travelers who require
a Visa must apply for one before leaving for Turkey.
Fees vary as do the lengths of time travelers are permitted
to stay.

Major Tourist Attractions in Turkey |

Istanbul
Istanbul embraces two continents with one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe. Through the city's heart -the Bosphorus- run the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn. The former capital of three successive empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman, Istanbul today honors and preserves the legacy of its past while looking forward to a modern future. It is Istanbul's endless variety that fascinates visitors. The museums, churches, palaces, grand mosques, bazaars and sights of natural beauty seem innumerable.
Reclining on the western shore of the Bosphorus at sunset contemplating the red evening light reflected in the windows of the opposite shore, you may suddenly understand why so many centuries ago settlers chose to build on this remarkable site. |

Bursa
The city of Bursa, southeast of the Sea of Marmara, lies on the lower slopes of Uludag (Mt. Olympos of Mysia, 2,443 m). The city derives its name from its founder, King Prusias of Bithynia. Known as "Green Bursa," the city is filled with gardens and parks and overlooks a verdant plain. It is at the center of an important fruit growing region. Bursa was, and is still, famous for its peaches, silk trade, towel manufacture and thermal springs. Make a point to try the local dish Iskender Kebab, a dish of bread, tomato sauce, strips of grilled meat, melted butter and yogurt. A tour of the city begins in the eastern section at the Yesil Turbe (Green Mausoleum). Set in a garden and distinguished by its exterior paneling of tiles, the mausoleum holds the tiled cenotaph of Sultan Mehmet 1.
