13.07.07 making my november turkey in july

Posted under: personal, reading, travel

Jonathan and I have finally booked our vacation for this fall, and have decided that Turkey is the place. Because I was so handsomely rewarded for having read a bit of the history of the place when we went to Scotland, I decided to do the same with Turkey.

But so much has happened in Turkey! The Crusades, Alexander the Great, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottomans, Constantinople and, oh yeah, this little thing called the Trojan War! How am I supposed to learn everything I want to know in the months remaining?

There’s only one thing for a producer can do; come up with a plan and follow it through.

    You need to add to the list the Istanbul guide I’ll lend you (from the “Autrement” collection - hard to find here).

    I’m excited for you!

    Hey there,

    I was in Turkey last September. All you need to know is that the Antalya region is a relaxation heaven. Go to an all inclusive resort and have them spoil you to death for 10 days… There are plenty of Roman/Lycian/Phoenecians ruins if you are that much into history… I layed by the swimming pool most of the time…

    Enjoy!
