Why Turkey?

Why Turkey? That's what a lot of people asked when I told them my wife and I were going to spend three weeks in that part-Asian, part-European country. The answer is obvious in the photos on this page.

Here are some of the interesting sites in Turkey:

• Istanbul - The Mosques
• Istanbul - The Palaces
• Izmir - A modern seaport city
• Ephesus - Great meaning to Christians
• The Emerald Coast
• Cappadocia - a different kind of place

Meanwhile, to find out more about this country check out a book on Turkey produced by our excellent guide for our visit, Sherif Yenen. You can find out more about that book, "Turkish Odyssey:  A Traveler's Guide to Turkey and Turkish Culture" at his web site www.turkishodyssey.com.I recommend it.
