Turkey (Türkiye) bridges Europe and Asia, covering about 302,500 square miles (783,560 km²) between the Black Sea, the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Most of the country sits on the high Anatolian plateau, ringed by mountain ranges, with green forests along the Black Sea, sunny beaches in the south and the Bosphorus strait running through Istanbul.

Its most famous natural landmark is Cappadocia, where wind and rain have carved soft volcanic rock into tall fairy chimneys, and hot air balloons drift over the valleys at dawn. The highest peak is Mount Ararat at 16,854 feet (5,137 m). Farther west, the white travertine terraces of Pamukkale spill down a hillside like frozen waterfalls.

Loggerhead turtles nest on Iztuzu Beach near Dalyan, and each fall huge flocks of storks and birds of prey funnel south over the Bosphorus. Gray wolves, brown bears and wild goats still roam the eastern mountains. Göreme and Cappadocia, Hierapolis-Pamukkale and Istanbul's old city are among Turkey's many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Did You Know? Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey, a ring of giant carved stone pillars about 11,600 years old, was built thousands of years before Stonehenge or the first pyramids.
