Turkey is a vast and varied country, renowned for both its natural wonders and its cultural achievements. In this book the country is revealed from the air by photographer Yann-Arthus Bertrand From the remains of Hellenistic Greece and the ruins of Byzantium to the glories of Ottoman Turkey, here are an abundance of sites from ancient history and mythology: the cities of Troy and Ephesus, the great theatre at Aspendus, the city of Istanbul, its seven hills decorated with countless mosques. Turkey's geography is manifest in photographs of Cappadocia, famous for its unique lunar landscape, and Pamukkale, where hot minerals waters tumbling from a great height have created a cascade of dazzlingly white fossilized forms. Janine Trotereau's captions provide geographical, historical and cultural information.
