Touring through a country and seeing new things is very rewarding but can also be somewhat exhausting. It was no different in Turkey, but we were prepared for it and made sure that we had the right place, and the right amount of time set aside for some rest and relaxation – Antalya!
Ancient ruins are normally associated with Greece and Italy (Rome) and few people are aware that some of the most spectacular and important ruins are actually found in Turkey. A visit to Turkey is not complete without visiting at least some of these sites.
We arrived late-night and tired in the town of Avanos, Cappadocia. The hotel that we were booked in looked nothing like a hotel, it looked more like a very strange and spooky B&B.
Cappadocia offers some of the strangest landscapes we’ve ever come across, somewhat reminiscent of the Badlands of South Dakota, USA.
Istanbul remains an interesting and colourful place, a city where you can literally walk from one continent to another. And if you like doing that, you can do that several times a day! I simply love the sights, sounds, and vibrance of the place.
