2008-08-18, Ephesos, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | I was told if you are only going to visit one ruin whilst in Turkey then it has to be Ephesus, so with that in mind two days ago I went. It was 20 LTR (£8.70) to get in and I also hired an audio tape ... |

 | 2 days in Istanbul
2008-08-13, Istanbul, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | The over night bus from Goreme to Istanbul was my idea of hell. Twelve of us crammed into a minibus with very little leg room and either too hot without the air-con on or bloody freezing with it on. W... |

2008-08-11, Goreme, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | Cappadocia, what can I say? Yet another place where I have been made to feel so welcome. I stayed at the Gultekin Motel for 5 days and loved every minute of it. Oruc the owner and I got on like a hous... |

2008-08-07, Egridir Golu, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | Time to chill for a few days again. The fez bus headed inland and north to Egridir and much cooler temperatures much to my relief!

2008-08-01, Kas, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | Kas, pronounced Cash is nothing like Patara. I am back to touristy Turkey and no beach. The price of accommodation is higher than everywhere else I have previously been to in Turkey and I still can’t ... |

 | Patara, my fav so far in Turkey
2008-07-27, Patara, Turkey. By: kay1968 | | Did I say there is 20 km of beach at Patara? Well I lied, it has only 18km….not that it’s made an ounce of difference to me. What I can’t understand is why 99% of the occupants on the beach want to cr... |
