turkey is one of the most intriguing countries that i have ever visited. rich with history and culture and a vast and varied landscape, it is a feast for the senses and a traveller's dream destination. in istanbul we spent hours trawling through the grand bazaar, haggling with shopkeepers in one moment and drinking turkish tea with them in the next. i loved the decadence of the topkapi palace and the hustle bustle on the sultanahmet streets. i was blown away by ancient ruins, ephesus in particular (see photos above) so well maintained that you could imagine life at the peak of the roman empire. best history lesson i ever had.
