Turkey (Turkiye in
Turkish) is a country located at a point where the 3 continents of the old
world (Asia, Africa and Europe) are closest to each other and where Asia and
Europe meet.
Because of its
geographical location, Anatolia has always been important throughout
history and is the birthplace of many great civilizations.
The surface area of Turkey
including the lakes is 814,578 km˛ / 314,503 sq miles. It is much larger than
many European countries or even Texas (18%) in the US. Out of the total land,
97% is in Asia and this part is called Anatolia or Asia Minor; 3% is in Europe
which is called Thrace.
Although 97% of Turkey is located
in Asia, in many respects it is accepted as a European country and as a result,
Turkey takes its place in nearly all European contests and associations.
Turkey is rectangular in shape
with a length of 1,660 km / 1,031 miles and a width of 550 km / 341 miles.

the `Pearl of the Turkish Riviera` and is world famous for it`s

historical past and multi-cultural way of life has made Alanya an
