We passed through Kusadasi last year but didn’t stop there. It’s still on my list of places to get to and visit properly. Sounds like Bodrum though, which is not too far along the coast. Ephesus we did visit last time. Probably our favourite Roman ruins – and we’ve seen a fair few of them!

Thanks Pete! I could go on all day about Turkey. It was my favourite country before this visit, and even after all the others we have visited this year, I think it is still my favourite!

I’ve been three times now, and each time I’ve enjoyed a seafood meal at one of the restaurants on the Golden Horn. A plate of munchies, fish, salad and chips, washed down with an Efes beer or two, the ferries bustling to and fro, the lines of the fisherfolk coming down from the deck above, and the hills of Asia in the distance.

Or getting lost in the Grand Bazaar, exploring Ayasofya, getting emotional at Gallipoli.

Everywhere history, hospitality, and harmony. Really enjoyed this post.
