WELCOME TO TURK LAND PROPERTIES

A country of in depth history and culture, the Turkish Republic is located where the three  continents of the old world, Asia, Africa and Europe, are closest to each other and straddle  the point where Europe and Asia meet. Because of this geographical location, the mainland  Anatolia has witnessed the mass migration of diverse peoples, shaping the course of history.  Home to countless civilizations, Anatolia has developed a unique synthesis of cultures, each  with its own distinct identity, yet each linked to its predecessors through insoluble threads.  As a modern nation in an ancient land, Turkey today is the inheritor and conservator of such  an essential, shared heritage of humanity. 

 Istanbul is a city of unparalleled social and cultural richness. It is as fascinating and historical as  it is dynamic and modern. Serving as the capital of two mighty empires incessantly for sixteen  centuries, Eastern Roman or Byzantine and Ottoman, and set squarely between two  continents, Istanbul has cultures and traditions that blend East with West and Mediterranean  with Anatolian. Each civilization that has made Istanbul its home has left its mark in sublime  and splendid ways, and the result a city that gives one the feeling of universal history at every  step. 

With a definitely multicultural touch and a vibrant atmosphere rooted deep in the past  experience of humanity while facing toward the future, Istanbul is truly as much a crossroads  of ideas and cultures today as ever. For how many cities in the world is home to ages old  churches, mosques, and synagogues in such a close proximity, showing us the possibility of a  community formed of different cultures living in a state of peace and tolerance that stems from  a shared human past and belief in the future? 

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION In its south stretches the Marmara Sea and in its north is the Black Sea. Its western part is in  Europe and eastern in Asia. The strategic and aesthetic strait that separates the two coasts of  Istanbul together with the two continents is the Bosporus which is the first gate from the Black  Sea to the Aegean and then onto Mediterranean. Being a port city and having many major  trade paths pass through itself is what has given ultimate significance to the city for thousands  of years. .
