A trip on the planet of Cappadocia

A trip on the planet of Cappadocia

In the morning, when the cold still dominates, the light turns a pale blue colour, the mist rolls over the valley and there is only silence on the planet of Cappadocia. Suddenly, the first rays of sunlight inundate the landscape and dozens of hot air balloons paint a coloured spectrum in the sky, floating in space above this magical planet.

The ancient site of Ephesus, from one temple to another

The ancient site of Ephesus, from one temple to another

On the Aegean coast in Turkey, between Selçuk and Kusadasi, is found one of the principal ancient sites of Asia Minor: that of Ephesus, which still has many ancient Greek and Roman remains today. Unfortunately, of the previously grand wonder of the world, you will only be able to admire a few fragments of columns...

Hasankeyf, ephemeral splendour.

Hasankeyf, ephemeral splendour.

Hasankeyf is in south-eastern Turkey, a very small city containing numerous natural and human wonders. Associated with a rich, ancient history, the diverse geological and archaeological particularities definitely make this village a place to visit. You must visit Hasankeyf as quickly as possible, because a dam project will soon completely cover this little gem.

The surprising beauty of the Turko-Syrian border region

The surprising beauty of the Turko-Syrian border region

The border regions are often ignored by tourists and regarded simply as places you pass through on the way elsewhere. They can, however, have some wonderful surprises to offer. Visiting the border region between Turkey and Syria gives you the opportunity to enjoy some of the most wonderful kinds of travel experiences it's possible to have, with encounters with local people, beautiful landscapes and scenery, and a small taste of the everyday life of Syria all included in the programme. You leave the world of tourism behind here: this is travel in the truest sense of the word.

From Trabzon to the Sumela Monastery

From Trabzon to the Sumela Monastery

Trabzon has been a major trading post for centuries and is now one of the biggest cities on the north-east coast of Turkey. It's impossible to leave the city without visiting the Sumela Monastery which is built into the cliffs and in itself represents the passage of successive civilisations through the region.
