There are many airports in Turkey. However, not all Turkey airports have regularly scheduled flights. We do not list the smallest Turkish airports, since there is no way to provide you flights from those airports. AirGorilla offers flights, hotels, and rental car reservations for Turkey.
Turkey (Turkish: Turkiye), officially the Republic of Turkey (Turkiye Cumhuriyeti), is a Eurasian country that stretches across the Anatolian peninsula in Southwestern Asia and the Balkan region of Southeastern Europe. Turkey borders eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia Republic to the northeast; Armenia, Iran and the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. In addition, it borders the Black Sea to the north; the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara to the west; and the Mediterranean Sea to the south.
Turkey is a democratic, secular, constitutional republic whose political system was established in 1923 after the fall of the Ottoman Empire under the leadership of national hero Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It is a founding member of the United Nations, a member state of the Council of Europe since 1949 and of the NATO since 1952, and is currently in accession negotiations with the European Union, being an associate member since 1964.
Due to its strategic location straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey has been a historical crossroad between eastern and western cultures. The geographic area has been a keystone in the birth and development of many of the world's greatest civilisations. Turkey's economy is a complex mix of modern industry and commerce along with a traditional agriculture sector that in 2005 still accounted for 30% of employment. Turkey has a strong and rapidly growing private sector, yet the state still plays a major role in basic industry, banking, transport, and communications.
It is roughly rectangular in shape. 97% of the land comprises the Anatolian peninsula (also called Asia Minor) in Western Asia, and 3% or 24,378 square kilometres (9,412 sq mi) is located in Europe. Many geographers consider Turkey politically in Europe, although it is rather a transcontinental country between Asia and Europe. The Anatolian peninsula or Anatolia (Anadolu) consists of a high central plateau with narrow coastal plains, in between the Koroglu and East-Black Sea mountain range to the north and the Taurus Mountains (Toros Daglari) to the south. To the east is found a more mountainous landscape, home to the sources of rivers such as the Euphrates (Firat), Tigris (Dicle) and the Araks (Aras). ( )
