The Torquoise Coast and Exotic Turkey

Photos:

The Eastern Mediterranean was the cradle of civilization almost 10,000 years ago. The alphabet and our numerical system originated here as well as most of the great religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. To travel in Turkey is to explore the roots of modern day civilization itself. This exotic country, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, boasts magnificent Greek and Roman antiquities as well as the extraordinary legacies of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. Now it is a dynamic, modern, democratic nation with friendly people, delicious cuisine, fantastic shopping and beautiful scenery. In addition to visiting Turkey's most important historical and archeological landmarks, we will spend five days sailing the famed Turquoise coast. The sea is crystal clear and the coast is lined with pretty fishing villages and pristine beaches. Our local guide is my dear friend, Yasemin. She is currently finishing a guide to the wildflowers of her remarkable country. She is also one of the cultural highlights of this trip!
