Turkey, bounded by four seas on three sides, spans a relatively large region in Asia and Europe. The First Geography Congress, convened in Ankara in 1941, divided Turkey into seven geographical regions. The regions were divided in keeping with the principles of geography – with the chief deciding factors being the topography, the climate, the vegetation and the agriculture of the respective regions. Life-style factors of the inhabitants like their food habits, housing, clothing and transportation systems were also considered.
The Geographical Regions Of Turkey:
The Mediterranean Region (Akdeniz Bölgesi), Aegean Region (Ege Bölgesi), Marmara Region (Marmara Bölgesi), Black Sea Region (Karadeniz Bölgesi), Central Anatolia Region (İç Anadolu Bölgesi), Eastern Anatolia Region (Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi) and The South-Eastern-Anatolia Region (Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi)
