Konya

, mythic city of the Whirling Dervishes.
In

addition to these famous places, Turkey offers the Turquoise Coast,

with the sunny beaches and clear blue water of the Mediterranean; the

Black Sea region, with lovely untouched beaches and fishing villages;

and Eastern Turkey where vast mountain scenery and the remains of

ancient civilizations invite exploration.

is also the setting for the Blue Voyage. One can explore archaeological

remains of ancient civilizations from the sea rather than from the

land.
