Turkey's Weather and Climate Regions
Turkey has Seven distinct weather and geographic regions:
1. Marmara
The countryside around Istanbul, Edirne, Bursa and the Sea of Marmara is low hills and
rolling farmland excellent for fruit orchards (apricots, grapes, peaches) as well as
vegetables, sunflowers and grain. South of Bursa are higher mountains (2500+
meters/8200 feet).
2. Aegean
The Aegean region centered on İzmir is a true breadbasket, with low hills and higher
mountains framing fertile valleys full of rich alluvial soil. The dependable summer sun
produces bumper crops of tobacco, sunflowers, olives, figs, peaches, pears and apples.
3. Mediterranean
Turkey's southern shore is hemmed in by high mountain ranges. There's some beach
from Fethiye to Antalya, but east of Antalya the littoral broadens into the fertile
Pamphylian plain (which is where you find) fringed with white sand beach.
4. Central Anatolia
The center of Turkey is high plateau (elevation 900m/3000 feet at Ankara) of rolling
steppe framed by mountain ranges, some of which boast snow-capped dormant
volcanoes. It was the volcanic Mt Erciyes near Kayseri that formed the Central Anatolian
moonscape of Cappadocia. The land produces summer and winter wheat and other
crops, and feeds millions of grazing sheep.
5. Black Sea Coast
Turkey's Black Sea coast, 1700 km/1000 miles long, is surprisingly lush and green
because of its 781 mm/31 inches of annual rainfall dropped as the winds crossing the
Black Sea rise to vault the coastal mountains. It's cloudy much of the time, which seems
to suit the tobacco fields. Cherries originated here, and are still grown in abundance, as
are hazelnuts, of which Turkey supplies 75% of the world's requirements. The lush grass
feeds cattle which produce Turkey's best milk, cream and butter.

6. Eastern Anatolia
Mountainous, rugged and chilly, eastern Turkey is an elemental place where
temperatures drop to -43C/-45F in deep winter, and rise to 38C/100F in summer,
though the annual average is just 9C/48F.June to September are the best months to
visit unless you're going skiing at Palandöken just outside Erzurum. This region has
wheat fields, fruit and nut orchards, and lots of grazing sheep.
7. Southeastern Anatolia
Down near Syria on the banks of the rivers Tigris (at Diyarbakır) and Euphrates (near
Şanlıurfa) it's hot most of the time: up to 46C/115F in high summer (and—unusually—a
low of -12C/10F some winters). It's dry, with only 576 mm/23 inches of rainfall, but lots
of water from the gigantic Southeast Anatolia Project (GAP) irrigation and hydroelectric
power system centered near Şanlıurfa. Crops love the heat and grow fast. People go
slow, and mostly in the shade.

Personal Letter from
Founders
Founders of TGI Tours
...We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers.
We continuously remember before our God and Father your work
produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance
inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 1:21:2-3
We know it’s not always possible to travel or take the time away from daily
responsibilities. Therefore, we’ve created the opportunity for all of us to go on this
journey together regardless of where we each might be in reference to our own
spiritual/religious path and awakening.
We designed this trip especially for those who are familiar with teachings of the
BIBLE, who have extensively studied the BIBLE in the past, or who have just
started making great progress in awakening to their true and highest purpose.
This Biblical Tour Package to Turkey (The Seven Churches of Revelation) was
created with great deal of love and attention to detail.
Nancy and I hope that you will be able to join us as we visit these magnificent
places and learn firsthand about the New Testament Church.
We were never meant to journey alone in this life. Come and celebrate God's love.
Wishing God's Best for You,
Nancy & Ismail
