Konya Home of the Whirling Dirvishes

Mevlana Museum

I didn’t spend long in Konya. Then again I really don’t think I needed to other than Mevlana Museum and the Whirling Dirvishes there wasn’t much else I wanted to see there Unfortunately I found out when I got...

Underground Cities & More Fairy Chimneys

Monasteries in the Rocks

I decided on a day tour for my final day here in Goreme. Now I could have done these things independently however I think I got more information from doing the tour. There is also the little issue that...

Fairy Chimneys & the Hamam in Cappodocia

Cave Hotel

Getting to Goreme proved to be easier than I thought even if it was a little later than what I thought as well. I had read all these warnings that there was a scam where your bus ticket would...

Amasya & the Pontic Tombs

Tombs Above

It was just some dot on the map to break the journey really. I was flipping pages back and fourth trying to work out how to get to Goreme, so Cappadocia from my current location. Everything including the locals...

Road Trip from Amasra to Sinop, Second Leg

Sinop

The second leg of my trip was no where near as eventful as the first leg, which was certainly a good thing. Today’s task was to get from Inebolu to Sinop. The purpose of the road trip isn’t to...

Road Trip from Amasra to Sinop, First Leg

Night Sets

‘Count the glorious, vertigo-inducing curves on the drop-dead scenic coastal road from Amasra to Sinop’, at least that is how the Lonely Planet Turkey, 12th Edition March 2011 guide book authors describe it. Or at least one of them...

The Coastal Town of Amasra

Dock Restaurants

Bright and early, well ok not really that early.  For once it was civilized, late even since it was about 0945 hrs. Anyhow seven of us piled out of the pension and into the minivan that was to take...

Ottoman Houses in Safranbolu

Ottoman House

I arrived in the small town of Safranbolu late in the early evening with relative ease. There’s really only a couple of reasons to come here. The first being that it’s a UNESCO world heritage listed town. That is...

First Day in Istanbul

Istanbul at Night

I’m sitting waiting for dinner, work issues intruding on my mind as they have done for the last week. There’s a riot of music coming from all directions as each restaurant and bar competes with the others for clientele....
