Izmir Konak Square

Current local time in

Izmir

Izmir Konak Square

Istanbul is the biggest Turkish city and the only city to be located on two continents: Europe and Asia. Endless mosques, museums and glorious palaces, the colourful life on the waterside of the Bosporus and the roofed bazar - all these elements contribute to its unique flair. The local earthTV camera captures all of this.

Geographic Information

Turkey is a divided country: it's ancient and continually recreated by earthquakes and it's located on two continents: Europe and Asia. Turkey is low-lying along the coast, with the high plateau of Anatolia and a mountainous and, in some places, stripped-down terrain in the interior.

Key aspects of tourism
The southern coast - the Turkish Riviera - is quite popular with tourists. Some places like the old town of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia and Troja are among the UNESCO world heritage.
