Author of the famous novel, 'The 40 rules of Love,' Elif Shafak has likened Istanbul (the biggest city in Turkey) to an old woman who is young at heart, eternally seeking new stories and new loves to quench its hunger.' In another work, she writes, “'Istanbul is like a huge, colorful Matrushka – you open it and find another doll inside. You open that, only to see a new doll nesting. It is a hall of mirrors where nothing is quite what it seems. One should be cautious when using categories to talk about Istanbul. If there is one thing the city doesn't like, it is clichés.”

Music played by the people of Turkey is inspired by Asian folk music, Persian music, Greek music, Arabic music and Ottoman music. On the UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list, are the whirling dervishes practiced by followers of Rumi. If you've read 'The 40 rules of Love,' you know what we're talking about.

Turkish painting is also a favorite on our list. Osman Hambi Bey is one of the brilliant painters whose paintings hang at the Pera Museum. The Two Musician Girls and The Tortoise Trainer are two of his famous paintings.

Some dishes from Turkey's cuisine that one must try are doner kebab, pita, lahmacun, kebab, kuzu tandir, and manti.

People who travel to Istanbul have an undying desire to packing along with the beautiful rugs and carpets sold at the local markets. These carpets are intricately woven with patterns and motifs inspired by their traditional and cultural diversity beautiful drawn upon them. Turkey is the melting pot of cultures with roots going back to the Greek, Roman, Persian and Ottoman Empires. It houses beautiful mosques topped with the characteristic dome, bustling streets where one can shop for every luxury and various historical sites with ancient Roman ruins. You've probably guessed by now that the 'Cradle of Civilizations,' the Mesopotamia Civilization corresponds to present-day Turkey.

How to reach Turkey from Mumbai?

By Air

You can travel to Turkey from Mumbai by air. This is your best option and is also the most comfortable and easiest method to reach Turkey. You can board a flight from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to Atatürk Airport. Some of the airlines that you can look into are Turkish Airlines, Air India, Oman Air, and Kuwait Airlines.

By Train

Quite obviously, you will find no direct trains from Mumbai to Turkey. You will first have to travel to a European country. For instance, Greece, Romania, Germany, Denmark, Italy and Holland. Turkey has well connected to these nations by train.

By Road

Although road travel is possible on paper, it is very inconvenient and we do not recommend it. The journey can last anywhere between 15 to 20 days depending on how many stops you make.
