Before leaving Artvin we stood in the breakfast room of the Mersivan Otel looking across to the mountains and down to the now tamed Coruh River. This was the same river we had followed through Ispir and Yusufeli at the start of our Eastern Turkey Road Trip and here we stood on Day 7 with Yusufeli …

We had walked amongst and stood in awe of the inspiring ruins of Ani the once Armenian City (45 km east), but it would have been so good to spend another couple of days in Kars. The dark and menacing castle was beckoning, but we chose instead to spend our last remaining hours there walking the …

We were leaving Ani and I wasn’t sure that I wanted to. Just one last photo to take – the one of the huge Turkish Flag that flew proudly at the entrance. Maybe we could hire a tent and camp there? It didn’t seem like anyone would mind. Just another Travel Daydream flitting …

Driving through Eastern Turkey was one of our better Travel Decisions, although I didn’t always think so. A stomach complaint in Dogubayazit left me momentarily wishing we had not stepped off the well worn tourist trail of the West coast. I had manipulated things to fit this Eastern Turkey Road Trip in to our six …

On 8th October, 2013 we were in Dogubayazit Turkey, fulfilling a dream, namely to visit the Ishak Pasha Palace in the far east of Turkey. Although we had some idea what the Palace would be like, (you can see our photos here), we had no idea what the town itself would be like. In case …

When BootsnAll asked for favourite photos for Day 25 of the #Indie30 challenge, it was a given that mine would include a Fun Photo, a Cat Photo and a Sunset. I decided to choose favourite photos from our 2013 Turkey Experience. The spectacular Roman Ruins at Ephesus, Turkey are overrun with cats, but where do our …

Read my post on Gallipoli, that peninsula in north east Turkey that lies close to the heart of Australians and New Zealanders. It sets the scene for a Gallipoli visit. Sunset over Gallipoli is evocative because of the words of “The Ode” to Australian Soldiers lost in the Battle of Gallipoli in WWI. In part …

Why visit Gallipoli in Turkey? On one side of the Gallipoli Peninsula in North-West Turkey lies the Aegean Sea and on the other, the narrow strait connecting the Marmara Sea with the Aegean, known as the Dardanelles or the Canakkale Strait. For Australians and New Zealanders, Gallipoli is one of the most popular places to visit in Turkey, …
