Visitors have been attracted to Turkey since Julius Caesar uttered the immortal words: “I came, I saw, I conquered”. Its unique convergence of three very different worlds, Europe, Asia and The Middle East, make it a nation rich in history, classical civilisation and art. These 2 best-selling Globe Trekker DVD titles makes a perfect trip planning guide, or an armchair introduction to the ancient sites and living culture of a country on the cusp of Europe.

Disc 1: Traveller Justine Shapiro starts her journey at the Roman ruins of Ephesus. She then travels up the coast to the volcanic Cappadocia region, home to one of the first Christian communities. Traveling East, she visits the wonders of Nemrut Dag and then heads North to her final destination: the Kachkar Mountains near the Black Sea coast.

Disc 2: Traveller Estelle Bingham starts her exploration of the ancient city of Istanbul at Topkapi Palace, former home of sultans and their concubines. She interrupts her sightseeing for a day trip to Gallipoli, the site of an infamous World War I battlefield. Continuing her journey around Istanbul, she visits the opulent Pera Palace Hotel. After some retail therapy in the Grand Bazaar, she ends her journey at the famous Blue Mosque.
