About the City of Ankara
Ankara is the capital city of Turkey and the second largest city in the country after Istanbul. It is located at the heart of both Turkey and Central Anatolia. The population is around 4.5 million.
The locals are generally helpful to tourists, and
many young people can communicate in English. Although most people will
try to speak English with you, it's a good idea to bring a Turkish phrasebook
or dictionary. Ankara is the administrative centre of Turkey and a huge
university town such that most of its inhabitants consist of civil servants,
students and academics.
Ankara is a healtbase point of Middle East where leading university
hospitals(Hacettepe University, Gazi University, GATA, Ankara University,
Ufuk University, Baskent University, TOBB ETU University Hospitals…)
located in. In recent years, patients from European countries prefer
to be treated in Ankara.

The
climate of Ankara is relatively mild and continental in character,
with the annual seasons remaining quite distinctive and easy to spot.
The winter weather in Ankara is quite short, although often quite cold,
frosty and at times, a little on the snowy side. Don't forget to bring

The summer climate experienced within Ankara is much more appealing and the days are often long, sunny, dry and pleasantly hot. July and August tend to see the best weather and the highest temperatures, with highs exceeding 30°C / 86°F not being at all unusual.
By Plane
Ankara Esenboga International Airport (ESB) is located some 28 km northeast of the city. International flights are rather low in frequency and scope - apart from Turkish Airlines (THY), only Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and British Airways offer direct flights to their respective European hubs. Iran Air also has two weekly flights to Tehran. For other carriers flying into Turkey, a flight into Istanbul is necessary, followed by an air transfer to Ankara by Turkish Airlines.
EasyJet also offers discount flights to and from Istanbul and Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg in the summer months (until October 25th) anad to and from Istanbul and London Luton airport all year round for fares as low as 22.
The brand-new airport was opened in 2007. It features many more gates, a more orderly parking system, and in general, better traffic flow. The road connecting Ankara's airport to the ring road has also been fully renovated.
Airport buses are operated by HAVAS through the city center reaching Ulus (the historical center of the city, close to the museums and baths), and ASTI (where the intercity buses depart from to almost all the cities in Turkey). The price is 10€.
By Train
Being in a central location in Turkey, Ankara can be reached from almost all trains departing from Istanbul to the eastern part of Turkey. The train trip from Istanbul to Ankara takes around 6-7 hours depending on the type of the train (fastest is Baskent for now, however, there will be faster trains in the near future to shorten the trip to 3 hours).
The overnight train to and from Istanbul is surprisingly affordable and saves the cost of a night's lodging. Reserve a cabin in advance if you prefer sleeping in a bed to sleeping in a seat.
If you are travelling from places other than Istanbul, you will find buses fast, inexpensive, and modern. Watch out for the drivers spraying your hands with lemon cologne if you do not like it.
By Bus
The buses reach ASTI (Ankara Sehirlerarasi Terminal Isletmeleri) standing for Ankara Intercity Terminal. Most of the cities in Turkey have direct buses to the capital of Turkey, and buses are much faster than trains in Turkey. From Istanbul to Ankara, the bus trip takes around 5 hours.
Get Around
The city has a two-line subway and a dense public bus network.

Cappadocia
Cappadocia lies in eastern Anatolia, in the centre of Turkey. The relief consists of a high plateau over 1000m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks, with Mount Erciyes (ancient Argaeus) near Kayseri (ancient Caesarea) being the tallest at 3916 m. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are vague, particularly towards the west. To the south, the Taurus Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia from the Mediterranean Sea.
To
the west, Cappadocia is bounded by the historical regions of Lycaonia
to the southwest and Galatia to the northwest. The Black Sea coastal
ranges separate Cappadocia from Pontus and the Black Sea, while to the
east Cappadocia is bounded by the upper Euphrates, before that river
bends to the southeast to flow into Mesopotamia, and the Armenian Highland.[3]
This results in an area approximately 400 km (250 mi) east–west and
250 km (160 mi) north–south. Due to its inland location and high altitude,
Cappadocia has a markedly continental climate, with hot dry summers
and cold snowy winters. Rainfall is sparse and the region is largely
semi-arid to arid.
Beypazari
Beypazari, on the way of the historical Silk Way, is a place of full of cultural richness and natural beauties. According to official records, the population in Beypazari in 1573 was 10000 people, and this shows the historical importance of Beypazari.
Today
Beypazari is a city that reflects the beauty, the pleasure of the Turkish
Culture with its historical remaining and houses out of Seljuks and
Ottoman times, hand works, traditional foods of the palace kitchen.
Our ancestors left us wooden houses at a number of over 3000, a market
place dating up to back 200 years, and an appearance without any disconcerted.
Just even Beypazari Houses, coming from the 1800's, show how big our
debt of gratitude to our ancestors is.
Therefore our main aim is to protect and carry from present, our houses that present the architectural properties of the Turkish cultur and life style of the Turkish, to future.
Amasra
Amasra is one of the most important civilisation centres in western Black Sea. This historical small town has been a district in 1987 and it's found on a peninsula formed by the connection of four islands. There are two natural small bays on both sides of the peninsula. The one in the west, Kücük Liman, has lost its historical harbour peculiarity. The other one in the east called Büyük Liman is modernized by building breakwaters on old foundations. in the northern part of the peninsula, on rocks there are two castles, gates and lots of armorial bearings from the period of Rome, Byzantium and Genova. Inside the castles there are two quarters called Zindan and Sormagir in which people live nowadays
The people who prefer to come to Amasra can rest very well in this silent place. They can get opinions about the history of Amasra by visiting castles, Bedesten, Kuşkayasi relief, Genova armorial bearings, Byzantium churches, Direklikaya, Kemere and the rich museum.
With inkumu in the west, Bozköyalti, Cakraz and Cide beaches in the east Amasra has a great tourism potential. After 1980 to develop tourism new activies are going on. The aim of these activities is to introduce the natural and historical wealths in Turkey and in abroad and to inerease the number of tourits visiting Amasra.
