Turkey 2015

A very diverse trip combining a bit of the Mediterranean, a lot of Cappadocia and a dash to the Armenian border for the ruins of Ani.

We made our way back to Istanbul along the shores of the Black Sea with a few stops inland.

People of Turkey

(vero;2020-April-23)

People we met in Turkey during various trips in 2006, 2014 and 2015. Turkish people are always good for a chat. Many have worked in Germany or France and are eager to speak with us in German or French of the time they spent in those countries.
