Diving in Turkey *
Most of Turkey sits on the Anatolian peninsula which has been home to people since at least the Neolithic period, around 12,000 years ago. This makes Turkey one of the oldest inhabited regions of the world. Turkey has had a lot of unrest and conflict throughout its history but has always been a key country in the world geopolitical landscape.
