The highland of Anatolia offers a dream climate (prestigiously values of a position between 1500-2500). If the position had not been at this distance, it would be an optimum place for summer and winter tourists. In winter snow lies for days, so skiers could drive down the alpine mountains like in the Rocky's! In summer you can enjoy 10-12 hours of sun at 25 degrees (during the day). In winter it gets cold like in the European Alps.
