Map of Turkey and Surrounding Countries (Maps.com)
Capital: Ankara
Language: Turkish
Population: 70,413,958 (July 2006 est.)
Religions: Muslim 99.8% (mostly Sunni), other 0.2% (mostly Christians and Jews)
Vacation Destination: I have never been to Turkey, although I have seen it from the Greek island of Kos. It's on my to-do list. Turkey is a major tourist destination for the restless Northern European types, and is serviced by all the major European travel companies. If you are American and plan to go, fly to Germany or England first and book from there. It'll be cheaper and you are booking with companies that have Mediterranean travel down to a science.
