Probably the best time I have had on an assignment. 6 days cruising through the Aegean with little else on the agenda but food and markets. Check out the article here.
Although things are a little tense at the moment it is good to remember that Turkey is a beautiful country with warm friendly people and well, great food. I am headed back later this week. Just can't seem to get enough of the place.
Check out the journey with music from Mustafa Ozkent.
Fabulous collection of photos. I learn so much from just looking at your photography. It must break your heart a bit to see what is happening in this beautiful country. Good luck to you on your trip back.

Great article and photos. I agree with you on Turkey and am saddened by what's happening now. Hopefully it gets better at some point. Last year, I spent almost 2 wks there and it was amazing.

Thanks, Kimberly. I think so many people don't realise how big and diverse the country is. I have spent a lot of time there and continue to be amazed not just by the beauty of the landscape but by the overwhelming generosity of its' people. I have rarely been made to feel so at home in a country that I've traveled to. Incredible hospitality.
