Visit Turkey

The more I read about the Lycian Way, the more I want to make this the focus of our trip.

Revised itinerary:

- a couple of days in Istanbul, to adjust jet lag and see this dazzling historic city

- a week hiking the Lycian Way – finding a service that will take our luggage for us (rather like when we do a supported bike tour), so we just have day packs. I want to hike from little village to town to little village, exploring ruins, seeing amazing scenery, and meeting interesting people.

Istanbul is definitely worth a visit – it’s amazing!

I might have a chance either this summer or next.

Looking forward to it.

i want to see the beautiful country and visit my friend.

And I’m missing the country already. Will write more once I’ve collected myself and my thoughts. :) And now, back to regular programming.

..and staying there for 3 weeks! I’m so excited.

I want to spend three weeks in Turkey

On my first holiday to Turkey I ended up buying a house there after one week

I’ve visited Kusadasi and Ancient Ephasis. If you go, I suggest trying the Apple tea! It’s delicious!
