CITY OF SAFRANBOLU
Located in a district of Karabuk province in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, Safranbolu is a typical Ottoman city that has survived to the present day with the architectural forms of the building ad streers illustrative of their period. During its zenith in the 17th century, Safranbolu's architecture influenced urban development throughout much of the Ottoman Empire.
The city was an important caravan station on the main east-west trade route from the 13th century to the advent of the railway in the early 20th century. Built in 1322, the Old Mosque Old Bath and Suleyman Pasa Madrash are the most prominent example of Ottoman architecture in the city.

Topkapi Palace Museum
The Topkapi Sarayi, built by Mehmet the Conqueror as a Sultan's Palace, consists of a sprawling collection of buildings arranged aroun d several interconnecting courtyards. Magnificently situated on one of the seven hills of Istanbul with uninterrupted views over the Bosphorus River and the Golden Horn, it was the seat of the Ottoman Empire for almost four centuries. Home to nearly 3,000 people, it served as royal residence, harem, state administration and military barracks. One of the most popular sections is the harem, once the quarters of about 300 women who were the sultans' wives and concubines, and their children. Visitors can view the apartments, halls and terraces of the harem, and see the lavish royal bedchamber and Imperial Hall, as well as some of the greatest examples of Iznik tile work in Turkey. No expense was spared in decorating the palace and exquisitely designed rooms, intricately detailed fountains and gateways, and the splendid Treasury, housing one of the greatest collections of treasure in the world, afford insight into the opulent lifestyle of the sultans of the Ottoman Empire.

**Green Mosque**
The mosque was built by prominent architect Hacı Ivaz Pasha at the request of Ottoman Sultan Celebi Mehmet between 1415 and 1419 years in Bursa, Turkey. Its ornamentations and handiworks were made by the period of great painters Haci Ali, Ilyas Ali. Also the grand artist Mehmet Mecnun furnished that spectacular mosque with the splendid tiles.
Located on the city named Green (Yesil in Turkish), Bursa, Green Mosque composes of mausoleum (Tomb) , madrasah, cultivation and Turkis Baths.
Due to its bluish green tiles and the turquoise color used in the ornaments, named as ‘’Green’’ the mihrab of that structure is 10 m high and reflects one of the best samples of tile decoration. Because the greater part of the Green Mosque is covered with tiles, they symbolise the brilliance of “Green Mosque”. The gathering place for the muezzin is also furnished with tiles to the Bursa arc. The place of the Sultan is also ornamented with deluxe tiles. The extra tiles at the place of the Sultan are decorated as flowers. Because of that, this mosque is also regarded as a masterpiece with its fascinating tiles.

Maiden's Tower.
The Maiden's Tower (Turkish: Kız Kulesi), also known as Leander's Tower (Tower of Leandros) since the medieval Byzantine period, is a tower lying on a small islet located at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus strait 200 m (220 yd) from the coast of Üsküdar in Istanbul, Turkey.There are many legends about the construction of the tower and its location. According to the most popular Turkish legend, an emperor had a much beloved daughter and one day, an oracle prophesied that she would be killed by a venomous snake on her 18th birthday. The emperor, in an effort to thwart his daughter's early demise by placing her away from land so as to keep her away from any snakes, had the tower built in the middle of the Bosphorus to protect his daughter until her 18th birthday. The princess was placed in the tower, where she was frequently visited only by her father.
On the 18th birthday of the princess, the emperor brought her a basket of exotic sumptuous fruits as a birthday gift, delighted that he was able to prevent the prophecy. Upon reaching into the basket, however, an asp that had been hiding among the fruit bit the young princess and she died in her father's arms, just as the oracle had predicted. Hence the name Maiden's Tower.

Turkey a land for all tastes:
As a bridge between Europe and Asia. Turkey has so much to offer visitor; breathtaking natural beauty, unique historical and archaeological sites, steadily improving hotel and touristic infrastructure and radiation of hospitality and competitive prices. Therefore, it is not surprising that Turkey has become one of the world's most popular tourism destination.
In Turkey you will experience an incredible diversity in nature, culture, history, beliefs and ideas. This in itself may not be a challenge for the most prized feature of favorite destinations. In Turkey this diversity is rich enough to challenge even the most experienced eye because it is packed into tight space with abrupt changes of scenery. This is why people sometimes describe the Turkey landscape as a 'symphony of sound, smell and people in the most unlikely combinations of appearance and action'.

**Duden Waterfall**
The magnificent place at Duden Waterfall is about 10 kilometers distance to the beaches South East of Antalya and can easily be reached by public transportations or with a rented car on well prepared asphalt roads. Over here the river Duden is leaving a higher plateau of the Ta**us mountains by falling about 15 m deep and 20 m wide onto a lower plateau next to Antalya. Because of the raw ingredients in the water, huge amounts of Tuff stone ( volcanic ) materials have formed the river bed as well as a cave below the waterfall.
On the entrance they charge entry fee and you can get into a nice green park with botanic garden, open tables and benches inviting you for a picnic. Always you can listen the sound of the falling water shimmering beautiful ice blue through the trees. All the area is kept in nice condition in peace and the view onto the waterfall is fascinating.
Some stairways leading down into the valley where people can walk along the river. Some other springs deliver more and more water to the Duden river, so this is falling into the valley as well. Because of all the Tuff minerals in the water there are some place where stalagmites and stalactites are still growing today, the heart of speleologists would immediately start running in higher frequencies.
For sure highlight of this sight seeing event still is the big waterfall which is giving steam of water and a lot of noise. The waterfall could be watched from the back side as well. There is one more stairway leading up to the walkway of the park again. Total length of the cave is about 40 m.

**Oludeniz beaches**

The whole lagoon is lined by shallow sloping golden sand and almost still water. The sand is a little gritty, but other than that, it is the absolutely perfect beach for small children. If you go round to the forested side, there's even room to camp out in the shade under the pines and protect fair northern skins. You will be sharing the beach with various watersports enthusiasts so will need to keep an eye open for collisions. On the far side of the sand spit, facing the open sea, Belcekiz Beach drops away steeply and has no shade, so is generally colonised by grown-up sun-worshippers. Quieter Kidrak Beach is a couple of kilometres away to the east.

Everybody thinks that tulips come from Holland. Actually, Tulips are native to Central Asia and Turkey. In the 16th Century they were brought to Holland from Turkey, and quickly became widely popular. Today Tulips are cultivated in Holland in great numbers and in huge fields. Dutch bulbs, including tulips and daffodils, are exported all around the world so people think that it's originated from there as well. In fact many cultivated varieties were widely grown in Turkey long before they were introduced to European gardens.
Also in the Turkish history tulips played an interesting role. The period in our history between 1718-1730 is called the "Tulip Era", under the reign of sultan Ahmed III. This period is also expressed as an era of peace and enjoyment. Tulips became and important style of life within the arts, folklore and the daily life. Many embroidery and textile clothing handmade by woman, carpets, tiles, miniatures etc. had tulip designs or shapes, large tulip gardens around the Golden Horn were frequented by upscale people, and so on. Also, the first printing house was founded by Ibrahim Müteferrika in Istanbul. The Tulip Era was brought to an end after the Patrona Halil revolt in 1730, ending with the de-thronation of the Sultan.
The botanical name for tulips, Tulipa, is derived from the Turkish word "tulbend" or "turban", which the flower resembles. It's considered as the King of Bulbs.

There are early, mid, and late blooming varieties of tulips. They come in a huge variety of bright colors, including white, yellow, pink, red, black, purple, orange, bi-colors, and more. There is a profusion of mixed colours to select from, too. A special breed from Manisa is called as Anemon.

Tulips should be planted as soon as they are purchased in the Autumn. But they can also be forced to bloom indoors during winter months. After blooming, let the plant continue to grow until it dies off. During the post bloom period, the plant is sending energy to the bulb to store for use next spring.

The Stunningly Beautiful Black Roses of Halfeti.

Turkish Halfeti Roses are incredibly rare. They are shaped just like regular roses, but their color sets them apart. These roses so black, you’d think someone spray-painted them. But that’s actually their natural color.
These stunning black roses would make excellent props in a movie about witches and black magic, or in a heavy-metal video. There’s something extremely attractive about them, in an intense sort of way.
Although they appear perfectly black, they’re actually a very deep crimson color. These flowers are seasonal – they only grow during the summer in small number, and only in the tiny Turkish village of Halfeti. Thanks to the unique soil conditions of the region, and the pH levels of the groundwater (that seeps in from the river Euphrates), the roses take on a devilish hue. They bloom dark red during the spring and fade to black during the summer months.
Seeing a black rose in full bloom is a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing. Don’t miss it if you ever happen to be in Turkey during the summer!

Turkish tea, called çay (pronounced Chai), is black tea which is consumed without milk, is produced on the eastern Black Sea coast, which has a mild climate with high precipitation and fertile soil. Turkish tea is typically prepared using two stacked kettles called "çaydanlık" specially designed for tea preparation. Water is brought to a boil in the larger lower kettle and then some of the water is used to fill the smaller kettle on top and steep (brew) several spoons of loose tea leaves, producing a very strong tea. When served, the remaining water is used to dilute the tea on an individual basis, giving each consumer the choice between strong a deep brownish red or weak.Tea is drunk from small glasses to enjoy it hot in addition to showing its color, with cubes of beet sugar.

✲ Bosphorus ✲
One of the world’s most strategic waterways, Bosphorus is the strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara; it is an inundated valley that follows an irregular northeast-southwest course 32 km (20 miles) long, 730-3300 meters (800-3600 yards) wide, 30-120 meters (100-395 feet) deep. Bosphorus and Rumeli FortressBosphorus comes from a Tracian word of unknown origin, interpreted in Greek as meaning "Ford of the Cow", from the legend of Io, one of the many lovers of Zeus, who swam across the sea here as a cow chased and continuously disturbed by flies sent by Hera. Known in Turkish as Bogazici (the Strait), it links the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara and, with the Dardanelles Strait (in Canakkale), separates Europe from Asia. It is a former river valley which was drowned by the sea at the end of the Tertiary period. This is a very busy strait with many commercial ships and oil tankers, as well as local fishing and passenger boats.
