Synopsis
In Turkey, a guest is sacred, travel is still an adventure for the spirited, the sea is still the same as that celebrated by Homer, and the remains of numerous civilisations contrast with modern cityscapes. The opulent, sensual and lazy appeal of the odalisques may be a thing of the past, but Turkey remains a place of romantic seduction. from historic Istanbul, the city at the junction of two seas and two continents, by way of the country's history, this book leads you to the monumental statues of Nemrut Dagi, to the ruins of Troy and the treasures of the Topkapi Palace Museum and a people waiting to be discovered: the women, now protagonists of the country's social life, the smiling fishermen and the wise farmers of Cappadocia. Places and History: celebrating the world's most beautiful cities and its most fascinating and exotic regions. Celebrating their historic and cultural importance, and their natural beauty. The history of each location is shown in original prints and paintings. The modern scene is explored in glorious colour photographs and with a travel writer's experienced eye.
