Turkey

Did you know I originally started this blog as a place to store all my travel photos? Where else would I put them without eventually forgetting about them? It seemed like the perfect way to keep my favourite memories somewhere I could easily revisit. And…

I left Turkey just over a month ago, but there is still so much to tell. It is an amazing country with incredible history, culture and people. Not to mention all the archaeological sites and ruins spread throughout the country. But how many ruins are…

Day two, and my search for the ancient ruins of Turkey continued. This time, I decided to drive approximately 100 km south of Denizli to Kibyra, an impressive ancient Greek city in Turkey. And wow! How do so few people know about this place? Apparently, the tour buses haven’t discovered it yet.…
