Varied surface figures of the
country such as chain of mountains, plains, seas, highlands, lakes cause some diversities
in climate and plant covers. The rainy highlands and green woods at the north, turns to
the dry steppes an the weather becomes colder in inner side of Turkey.
On the other hand
Mediterranean and Aegean part of the country are generally utilized from the bright sun
almost every season. Cold weather is rarely in these areas. It seems unbelievable that in
summer one can ski on Turkey's snowy mountains and then leave himself to the warm waters
of the sea during the same day.

important role in world civilization. For thousand of years, these fertile lands has been
home for many successful nations. Almost, in every part of the country many magnificent
constructions that were left behind, surprise everyone.
