Turkeye is a hamlet of Sluis, a municipality located in the west of Zeelandic Flanders, in the south-western part of the Netherlands. Even though the settlement is regular village in the province of Zeeland, the name Turkeye is probably an old spelling for Modern Dutch Turkije. The name supposedly derives from relations between the Ottoman Turks and the Netherlands. The name of the road to this village is Turkijeweg which means Turkey Road in Dutch. The town has 20 to 30 inhabitants, all Dutch citizens. The largest part of the houses in the hamlet serves as a holiday home. Although everyone in the village is Dutch, there is a sign on the doors of many houses saying Ne mutlu Türküm diyene. While many signs in the village contain the words Hoş geldiniz ("Welcome"), there are also paintings of Ottoman sultans on some walls. Monique Sturm, who has been a volunteer Turkish ambassador in the village for 30 years, turned a part of her house into a Turkish museum with items she brought from Turkey.
