Straddling two continents — test your knowledge of Turkey's rich history and geography.
Istanbul is the only city in the world that spans two continents, sitting astride the Bosphorus strait. This 50-question deep dive explores Turkey's unique geography, ancient civilizations, Ottoman heritage, and modern transformation under the republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in 1923.
This quiz takes you on a journey across Turkey's diverse landscape — from the bustling streets of Istanbul to the surreal rock formations of Cappadocia. You'll face questions about Turkey's role as a NATO member since 1952, the massive GAP project with its 22 dams harnessing the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and the country's surprising status as the world's top hazelnut producer at around 80% of global output.
Expect questions on the Hagia Sophia (built in 537 AD), the Grand Bazaar with its 4,000+ shops (operating since 1461), the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16, and Turkey's 19 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You'll also discover facts about the Lycian Way (one of the world's top long-distance trails at 540 km), the Marmaray tunnel crossing the Bosphorus at 60 meters depth, and why Turkey leads the world in tea consumption at roughly 3.5 kg per person per year.
