Ankara

The heart of the Turkish Republic, Ankara, is the second largest city of Turkey
after Istanbul. The city genuinely lies on the border where east meets west. This
means that a traveller can sit outside at a café under the shade of a tree-lined
boulevard eating Meze. The European influences combined with the ones of the
Middle East have coloured the architecture, food, wine, nightlife, fashion and
arts. The two cultures have merged to build a city with a unique identity. By
dropping anchor in Ankara, as its name suggests, you are crossing the border of
history.
