WINE TASTING

After discovering all these interesting places, remember to have a glass of
Turkish wine...

Anatolia was one of the first wine drinking countries in the world. Wine was drunk as a ritual blessing around 2000 B.C. Hittite Emperors used to offer wine to the gods in order to thank them for what they had. Reliefs portraying these offerings can be seen at the Museum of Anatolia Civilizations. The main wine production centers are Ankara, Goreme and Yozgat in mid-Anatolia; Tekirdag, Murefte. Sarkoy, Marmara Island and Avsa Island in the Marmara Region; Bozcaada, Izmir, Sirince, Denizli, Guney and Sal in the Aegean Region. In Anatolia, which is known as the land of wine, it is inexpensive and delicious.
