People I met here who contributed to, and improved my trip:   I was too tired to even try to explain to the immigration officials why my passport had no room for the Turkey entrance stickers, so i just handed it over and hoped for the best. After a fairly lengthy delay, the female officer ca…

Today was Day One of a ten-day visit to Central Anatolia, Turkey. We spent the first half of the day in the city of Konya. We didn’t have high expectations of this town (based on our guide book), but were surprised to find a very pleasant, leafy, super clean, and friendly town. I started the morn…

Fellow photography Jill and I took a taxi from the hotel to the airport together, since we had the same flight to London. We got on the taxi, made sure he started the meter. However, a little while later, I noticed that he wasn't taking the direct route over the Ataturk Bridge to the airport, inste…

The next morning we woke up early as well; again to the Morning Prayer at 6am but this time we didn’t hear the night receptionist join in. We looked at each other and decided to again be the early raisers and go for breakfast. We were the first but as the day before a lot of the other people from…

After a 10+ hour flight from JFK, finally arrived in Istanbul. Was so tired since I really didn't sleep much. I just cannot ever get comfortable enough on planes to be able to really sleep. I think I dozed on and off for maybe an hour or so, that's it. Even though I was tired as all hell, I was so …

My best summer holiday ever in Alanya. The country itself is very nice and beautiful and Turkish people are very kind, hospitable, friendly and always smiling. I like them so much!:) If you spend your holiday there you have to take part in programmes like boat tour, diving and rafting in Köprülü-kanyon of course! 4 more things you dont forget when being in Turkey... drinking orange juice, Turkish tea and eating Kebab and smiling a lot!!! :)
