Aegean Coast The magic of Turkey is created with its history, culture, gastronomy, humanity, exotic nature and commerce. The Aegean Coast, rightly considered the "Cradle of Civilization," exemplifies all these magic ingredients. This is where there are more Greek ruins than in Greece and more Roman archaeological sites than in all of Italy. Aegean Coast is where many sacred sited revered by Christians, Jews, and Muslims are located, as well as invaluable remnants of early Greek civilization, Byzantine majesty and Ottoman culture and artistry. The Aegean shores are among the loveliest landscapes in the country. The magnificent coastline, lapped by the clear water of the Aegean Sea, abounds in vast and pristine beaches surrounded by olive groves, rocky crags and pine woods. Dotted with idyllic fishing harbors, popular vacation villages and the remains of ancient civilizations attesting to the inheritance of more than 5,000 years of history, culture and mythology, this region offers something for everyone: nature lovers, sun worshippers, photographers, sports enthusiasts, sailors and archaeologists. The Aegean coastal plain has an exceptionally mild climate, with soft, verdant springs, hot summers, sunny autumns and warm winters marked by occasional showers. Aegean region's mountains perpendicular to its shores and with many valleys between them, thus permit the sea climate to reach inner parts of the region. |
