I've just looked up my photos from 2007 with a very elderly mum and dad. Wonderful memories. I did a course in Roman architecture with Yale Uni about fifteen years ago so seeing the Roman fountain was the biggest thrill imaginable. Thanks for that. Turkey is more beautiful than many Brits realise, especially inland.

The "ruins" were awe inspiringly amazing. I got tears in my eyes over them and wished the video was a feature-length production. The detail you (plural) you showed such detail and knew some history to bring it again to life. It makes me cry to see and think of how much beauty of history is out there and I didn't spend my life chasing after it as I crave to have done. I tired instead to stupidly attempt to settle into my place in the world machine and did a really bad job of it as well. Thank you dearly for your sharing. It is the history that brings the depth of meaning to what there is to be seen. Most dearly, I say "Thank you". For this video alone I must become a Patron.

Nicely done! Marmaris coast is too easy to overlook - Tekirdağ, Şarköy, Çanakkale on the Euro side, the headland and islands off Bandirma on the Asian side. When you hit Istanbul, there's the Cilingoz Nature Park further west up the Black Sea coast. Depending on how near you are going to Syrian or Armenian/Georgian/Iranian borders, the town of Batman 🦇 surely offers a photo-op - there's also the town of Van even nearer to Iran (on the east side of Lake Van), but if you want to avoid the whole Kurdish thing and Syrian border then strike a line from Adana to Trabzon and stay roughly west of that - I guess Foreign Office advice is key there. If you haven't had enough hilly bits, try the area around Lake Tuz to the south of Ankara. Also, from a friend's experience, blondes apparently get above average attention in Turkey...

@@OverlandingSophiaYes, not for you, but for those who are going to read it .... St. Paul's Way Located between the Ancient City of Decge, located 10 km east of Antalya, and Yalvaç, located northeast of Lake Eğirdir, St. Paul's Way is a marked trekking route of 500 km and takes 27 days to walk. Its route; St. Paul's Way, which passes through Roman roads, footpaths and forest roads, has another branch starting from Beşkonak at the entrance of Köprülü Canyon National Park, 80 km northeast of Antalya, and the first route connects with the Ancient City on the Island. St. Paul's Way has areas that are convenient not only for hiking, but also for mountain biking. Starting at sea level and climbing up to 2200 meters, St. Paul's Way is a more wild route than the Lycian Way. This route on St. Paul's Road, which hosts two additional optional peaks that climb to an average of 2800 meters on its route, was opened by Kate Clow in 2008 to move tourism to the countryside and give hikers an idea of the countryside through the places that St. Paul passed on his first trip to Asia Minor. The starting point on the side of the Ancient City of Perge is close to Antalya Airport, the ending point of St. Paul's Road is Yalvaç near Lake Eğirdir. The most basic transportation and accommodation center of the route is Eğir. The best times for walking are the spring and autumn months, because July-August are quite hot, so it can be very challenging. Hikers can stay in village houses or small hostels most nights, but camping is necessary for long stages. There are quite good camping places on the route.

I saw that you were watching squid games in another episode. Once you’ve finished with that i really recommend ‘This is us’ on prime video. It’s sooo goood! And it’s something that you can’t wait to watch while eating dinner or chilling out. Just. Trust me please! Watch the first episode for me and see if you like it??!! Your videos are on fire guys! Give river and treat from me. Love from London ❤️❤️❤️

Great video guys and it’s great hear how easy it’s been for you to get into, and travel around, turkey. Did they ask if you had insurance before they made you buy the government third party insurance? Only asking as our UK insurer has offered us fully comp insurance for turkey.
