Straddling two continents, Turkey is a land of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant traditions and rich history, combining various cultures of the world. From the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the ancient ruins of Ephesus, Turkey is a country where past and present intertwine. But there's more to Turkey than its famous landmarks—did you know Turkish coffee is considered a UNESCO cultural heritage, or that the country is home to one of the world's first known cities? Join Naci Keskin and Umran Koca as they share their experience growing up in Turkey, explore its unique blend of cultures, and challenge common misconceptions. Get ready for a journey through history, food, and modern Turkish life.
