Turkey is a Eurasian country located in Western Asia and in East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Syria. The coast is formed by the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Seas. Turkey is a popular destination for culture, spa, and health care tourism. Istanbul is one of the most important tourism spots not only in Turkey but also in the world. It has a number of major attractions derived from its historical status as capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Beach vacations and Blue Cruises, particularly for Turkish delights and visitors from Western Europe, are also central to the Turkish tourism industry. Most beach resorts are located along the southwestern and southern coast. Lots of cultural attractions elsewhere in the country include the sites of Ephesus, Troy, the ruined cities and landscapes of Cappadocia and others.
