ochre-hued, cleft by ravines and dominated by volcanic peaks, forms the heartland
of Turkey. Covered with wheatfields and outlined with ranks of poplars, the boldly
contoured steppe has a solitary majesty. This plateau was one of the cradles of
human civilization. At Catalhoyuk, remains of settlements from as early as the
eighth millennium B.C. have been unearthed. The homeland of many people and the
historic battleground of East and West; here the Hattis, Hittites, Phrygians,
Galatians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans all fought for their sovereignty
and established their rule. In the 11th century, the migrating Turks from the
east made the plateau their own. Key search terms. turkey tours, greece
