  2. Intro Welcome! I hear you want to plan a trip to Turkey, well, you came to the right place! Before we start planning your trip, you will need to know some background information about this country. You will need to know what you want to do, and which cities you want to visit. We will take a look at the climate, its natural resources, physical features, the environment, and many more topics of Turkey.

  3. Climate In different places of Turkey there can be very different temperatures. The coast of Turkey that borders the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea have hot dry summers with wet and cold winters. The coast of Turkey bordering the Black Sea has a typical ocean-like climate with cool but not cold winters and summers that are warm and not too hot. The coast of the Sea of Marmara is a mix between the last two with warm to hot dry summers and cool to cold wet winters. Snow will usually come every winter near the coastal areas of the Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea, there will be very little and it will usually last no longer than a few days. Snow is rare in the coastal areas of the Aegean Sea and very rare in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The mountains near the coast of Turkey are a continental climate with very different temperatures in different times of the year. In the winter it can be cold enough to support snow for a bit each year, a lot like Saskatchewan. it can get up to quite hot in the summer too. In the west winter, temperatures average below 1oC, in the summers temperatures are usually above 30oC.

  4. NATURAL RECOURCES There are quite a few natural resources found in Turkey. I will now list them all: -Coal -Gold -Iron Ore -Barite -Copper -Borate -Chromium -Celestite -Antimony -Emery

  6. Religion The main religion of Turkey is Islamic . Islam believers make up 99.8% of all believers, and the rest are all of different religion type. Right now there are 236 churches available to worship at. The Turks celebrate many national holidays and a few of their own, some of them include New Years Day, The Ramadan, the sacrifice feast and many more.

  7. Physical Features Along the coasts of Turkey there are beautiful beaches that could go on forever with thin, soft sand. There are also many mountains in Turkey, some of them are the Pontic Mountains and the Taurus Mountains. If you look at a map Turkey you will see many lakes and rivers running through this country.

  8. Environment Currently, Turkey is having many troubles with its environment. Turkey has a HUGE diversity of wildlife, because of its wide variety of habitats and unique position between three continents and three seas. Ill-considered development projects are threatening biodiversity, but a new wildlife corridor offers hope for further conservation progress. Air pollution is quite significant in urban areas; air pollution has accelerated since rapid economic growth began in the mid-1990s. The problem is especially great in Istanbul, Ankara, Erzurum, and Bursa, where the combustion of fuels increases particulate density in winter. Especially in Istanbul, increased car ownership and the slow development of public transportation cause frequent urban smog conditions. Industrial air pollution comes mainly from power plants and the metallurgy, cement, sugar, and fertilizer industries, a large percentage of which lack filtration equipment. Proposed new coal fired power plants would increase Turkey's CO2 emissions. There are many other problems with water pollution and land degration.

  10. Recreation Oil Wrestling unlike traditional Olympic wrestling, this kind is where players, called pehlivan, drench themselves with olive oil before wrestling. Players all wear a hand stitched lederhosen called a kisbet. The Objective of this sport is to put your arm through your opponents kisbet. The kisbet was traditionally made out of water buffalo hide and more recently is now made of calfskin. If someone is to beat an older opponent they must kiss his hand as a sign of respect for older men. Turkey’s most popular sport is Soccer and its top teams areFenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor. Other popular sports that they play include volleyball and basketball but their traditional national sport is something called yağlıgüre, or in English; Oiled Wrestling. Erdine has been the holder of the Kirkpinar wrestling tournament since 1361.
