Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | We marvel at the fascinating landscape of Cappadocia from high above in a balloon...and from deep below, prowling an underground city where Christians once hid out. We’ll join a circumcision party, explore troglodyte ghost towns, shop for sheep at the market, and chat with an imam. Then we enjoy the modern capital, Ankara, and pay our respects to the father of modern Turkey, Atatürk. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #turkey

As a Turk, I can frankly say that this is probably the best explained travel documentary about Turkey. Even a way better than Turkish ones.

No one could understand how I love this man for his open-mindedness and beautiful view of the world and its people. I wish people could learn from him and we could all live happily in peace around the world. Probably impossible, but everything gotta start somewhere. Rick Steves is such a role model :)

@terrythekittieful Жыл бұрын

He's a top bloke and looked after his workers during Covid. That's the role model for how you should act as a boss. Watched his program on Palestine yesterday and gave a great open minded insight into that troubled land.

Well done, Rick. There are so much misunderstandings, propaganda and bad journalisms that leads to fear, hatred and isolation. It is great that someone like you travel and talk to people so that we can understand each other better. May God bless you and the world!

Beautiful places. I've been to Cappadocia and explored its caves on a side-trip from Konya, when I was on a semester in that city. I regret not taking advantage to also see Guzelyurt and a few other places. A Turkish carpet shop is definitely an experience. I was once in Istanbul, walking between Gulhane and down towards Binbirdirek, when a pushy carpet seller ignored by constant reiterations that I wasn't interested. So I went to the shop, drank a few cups of cay (saved money that way) and learned some interesting facts about carpet-making. Then finally after chillin a little while, to the shop-owner's surprise I thanked him for the free cay and the lesson, then walked out to be on my way again.
