Por ello, esta guía se está dedicada a los espacios más demandados por los viajeros: Estambul, Capadocia y la costa del mar Egeo. Estambul es la única ciudad del mundo atravesada por un brazo de mar: el Bósforo. Visitarla es como viajar en el tiempo y vislumbrar la antigua Constantinopla gracias a los numerosos vestigios. La riqueza de su historia y la influencia de varias culturas la convierten en un lugar excepcional. Tras la erupción de las montañas Erciyes, Hasan y Göllüdağ hace dos millones de años, los restos volcánicos depositados en los valles dieron origen al encantador paisaje de Capadocia.

La costa del Egeo es una costa única que combina unas playas limpias junto a un patrimonio arqueológico de un valor incalculable.
