This is the heart of the Turkish Republic. Ankara is the second largest city of Turkey after Istanbul. The city genuinely lies on the border where East meets West. This means that a traveller can sit outside a café under the shade of a tree-lined boulevard eating Meze. The combined influences of Europe and the Middle East on this city have coloured the architecture, food, wine, nightlife, fashion and arts. The two cultures have merged to produce a city with a unique identity. By dropping anchor in Ankara, as its name suggests, you are crossing the border of history.
