Real Estate Turkey

Ankara, the bustling capital of Turkey, can appear rather soulless and cold in its modernty as it rises from the plains of western Anatolia. When Atatürk chose it as his capital in the 1920s, hiğs determination to westernize led him to commision the German architect, Hermann Jansen, to built a thoroughly new city. Today, most tourists visit Ankara for its outstanding museums.
No doubt the most fascinating sight in Ankara is the superb Museum of Anatolian Civizilations, housing the greatest collection of Hittite civizilation flourished in central Anatolia during the second milliennium BC, and for some time their empire almost rivalled that of ancient Egypt. The exquisite relief carvings and statues conjure up and intriguing pictures of a civilization about which relatively little is known. Also worty of a visit is the impressive Atatürk Mausoleum, the great leader's enduring symbol of immortalty.
The Western approach to Ankara winds over monochrome, flat, steppe country, Near Polatlı-the easternmost point reached by Greek forces in 1922 during the War of Independence-lies Gordion, capital of the ancient kingdom of Phrygia and seat of the legendary king Midas. The more pictureque route runs northwest from Ankara through the forests and mineral springs of Kızılcahamam National Park.
Much of the area encompassed by Eskişehir and afyon is inhospitable and forbidding. By comparison, the lake district forms a welcome oasis with an abundance of birds attracted by its reeds and marshlands, Lake Eğirdir is an unspoiled resort area.
Kütahya owes its existance to an illustrious tile-making tradition on which the town still relies today.
Konya is the cultural gem of Western Anatolia. Its Seljuk architecture and the impressive Mevlana Museum, home of the whirling dervish sect, make it one of the country's most visited sights. Konya's Karatay Museum houses an important tile collection.
