Turkey-licious!

Turkey - what a place! Only one month there and barely touched the surface - but enough to know, I'd go back in a heartbeat.  What can I say about Anatolia? JUST GO. If you have the opportunity, take it. The sites, the food, the people - I can't fault it. We hired a car and drove around, covering just under 4,000 kilometres in a month. Driving in Turkey is not for the faint-hearted, but a liberating way of seeing everything you want, plus all the things you can't see as a package tourist. As an avid photographer, it was perfect allowing stops along the way and seeing things and meeting people we would not have met otherwise.

I like to try and keep these posts brief so I can't include everything we did (a Lot!)... but in short; We flew over the honeycomb peaks of Cappadocia in a hot air balloon, saw the Sama ceremony of the Dervishes, swam in crystal clear waters rejuvenating waters of Cleopatra's pool and ate delicious kebaps all washed down with ice cold Efes beer. We gawped in wonder at the beauty of the Aya Sofia, Ephesus, Troy and Pammukale and tried to take focused shots without a tripod in the underground cisterns, we stood amazed looking at the cliffs of Gallipoli and tried to imagine what was. Turkey really does have something for everyone!

See for yourself below and I'll meet you in Istanbul!
