The earthTV camera offers stunning views of the famous Konak Square and the Saar Kulesi, an Ottoman clock tower built in 1901.

Geographic Information
Turkey is a divided country: it's ancient and continually recreated by earthquakes and it's located on two continents: Europe and Asia. Turkey is low-lying along the coast, with the high plateau of Anatolia and a mountainous and, in some places, stripped-down terrain in the interior.
Key aspects of tourism
The southern coast - the Turkish Riviera - is quite popular with tourists. Some places like the old town of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia and Troja are among the UNESCO world heritage.
