Produced by the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Turkey and edited by Alan White, Discovering Turkey is a lavishly illustrated large-format hardcover that serves as both a travel showcase and a cultural introduction to one of the world’s most historically significant and geographically diverse countries. Issued in a presentation slipcase, this impressive volume was designed to highlight Turkey’s rich heritage, spectacular landscapes, and enduring cultural traditions through extensive full-colour photography and informative text. The book was published in several editions during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with the widely distributed edition comprising approximately 207 pages.
Beautifully produced, Discovering Turkey takes readers on a journey across the country, from the bustling streets of Istanbul and the monuments of ancient civilisations to the dramatic coastlines of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. The volume explores Turkey’s unique position as a bridge between Europe and Asia, examining its history, architecture, archaeology, arts, cuisine, and regional traditions. Rich photographic spreads capture both famous landmarks and lesser-known destinations, creating an immersive visual portrait of the nation.
One of the distinguishing features of Discovering Turkey is its broad scope. Rather than functioning solely as a travel guide, it presents a comprehensive overview of Turkish culture and identity, introducing readers to the country’s diverse landscapes, historical treasures, and contemporary life. The combination of authoritative commentary and high-quality imagery makes the book equally appealing as a reference work, coffee-table book, or travel companion.
Elegantly bound and housed in a slipcase, Discovering Turkey remains a desirable addition for collectors of travel books, world culture titles, and beautifully illustrated national surveys. It offers an engaging and visually striking introduction to a country whose history and cultural influence span thousands of years.
