As a transcontinental country, Turkey offers culture, politics, and cuisine that draws inspiration from both Europe and Asia. Enjoy the first taste of thick, dark Turkish coffee, which UNESCO has declared a cultural heritage of Turkey, and be prepared to accept steaming glasses of tea when offered.
