Turkish Delight

Given the daily adventures we experienced in Turkey last year it became inevitable that we should want to return for more!!! 
Whirling Dervishes; Byzantine cave churches; clambering deep underground through several layers of an ancient Hittite City; marvelling at the extraordinary geological landscape that is Cappadocia; taking tea in the cosy rug clad home of a family who dwelt in a cave; travelling the ancient Silk Road across the Anatolian Plains, and admiring the many fine structures left behind by both Greeks and Romans. An added bonus was the lovely November weather.
  Now our travels will take us to a different corner of Turkey where we are hoping even more delights may be waiting for us!

  1. Enjoy your time there. Look forward to you photos upon your return.
    That Evil Eye/Devils Eye - I don't believe in that! I hear that they are rather superstitious in Turkey regarding that eye, along with a few other countries.
    All the best Rosemary.

    1. Fear not Val, but thanks for your concerns - we shall be nowhere near the troubles on the Syrian border. Our destination is over 600 miles away.

  19. How absolutely thrilling! Turkey has always appealed to me enormously but, given the animosity borne by Greece whilst living there, I never dared set foot in the country! One day, I hope. In the meantime be sure to share lots of pictures with us all.

  28. Hello, Rosemary! Turkey is so exotic and full of magical charms as the meeting place of east and west. I still remember your experiences in Turkey, especially Cappadocia was impressive. Look forward to hearing from you about what you were delighted with in Turkey.
