Turkey with its Mediterranean sunshine, exotic culture
and fascinating history, beckons us. One finds landscapes layered with
remains of civilization after civilization dating back to 23,000 BC. In
the 1st century AD St Paul trod the paths across Anatolia to
reach Ephesus and today in Cappadocia we see early churches hidden in caves and decorated with amazingly vivid
frescoes. We explore Byzantine castles plus Greek and Roman theatres.
In Istanbul we see the palaces of sultans and marvel at the
wealth of Ottoman rulers. Along the Lycian coast we visit small
villages that have been in existence for three thousand years.
But Turkey is not just about history. The scenery is
spectacular, the people friendly, the bazaars colourful and the food is marvellous.
