Turkey: Cappadocia & the Turquoise Coast
The treasures of Turkey, so ample and various, are hunted by art historians, archaeologists, cooks, andtravelers alike. Whether you consider Turkey’s great monuments of art, cave dwellings, compelling
myths, colorful bazaars, spice-laden cuisine or brilliant landscape its special treasure, the choice exists.
Indeed, if the weight of its entire treasure could be measured, this countryside, stained ferrous red and
spotted soft green, would sink fast into the blue, blue sea. You take in riches galore, walking in a land
conveying timelessness, sailing on an elegant gulet (traditional sailboat), and eating delicacies worthy of a sultan’s table, from roasted leg of lamb to pastries stuffed with plump prunes. While some afternoons call for lingering over a cup of rich Turkish coffee, others call for fascinating walks into a past age.
"A once in a lifetime chance to drop into the Turkish culture for two weeks, to sample their countryside, hospitality, food, customs and their ancient history."
