Last Travel News from Turkey
Land of foreigners: Qatar
Our plane takes off from İstanbul, destined for Qatar. Both Turkish Airlines (THY) and Qatar Airlines have regular flights to this country. We flew through airspace over Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, finally reaching Qatar. Our journey to Doha, the capital of Qatar, takes four hours, 10 minutes. Turkish citizens can visit Qatar without a visa.
Sığacık, a haven for fatigued city-dwellers
Sığacık is a sweet community and a former fishing village 50 kilometers from İzmir. It has a castle next to the harbor of Sığacık and many houses that have not lost their unique architectural characteristics. Sundays offer a little extra: Stop by the fascinating open-air bazaar and try some of the many delicious foods available for really affordable prices.
Üsküdar boasts lively antique bazaar
Üsküdar's antique dealers are among the least known shops, despite their location close to the district's famous square. But this should not come as a surprise because, when it comes to antiques, Horhor in Aksaray and Çukurcuma in Beyoğlu come to mind. However, antique stores in Üsküdar have a 90-year history.
Ottoman delight: the glorious heritage of Safranbolu
Right at the heart of Safranbolu is a neat little triangle of cobbled streets lined on both sides with wooden booths that probably resemble the dolaps (cupboards) that once filled İstanbul's Kapalı Çarşı (Grand Bazaar).
Democratic Republic of the Congo, lush green land and diamonds
KINSHASA --We board a plane in İstanbul and travel for five hours before landing in Casablanca, Morocco, which is the stopover before the next eight-hour leg to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Around midnight we descend upon Congo and at this time our total time travelling, taking stopovers into consideration, is now 20 hours.
Urla, a hidden garden in İzmir
It’s time for those who are sick and tired of the hustle and bustle of the city to take a breath. Urla is the place where you can have a delicious traditional Turkish breakfast followed by a tour of narrow streets and then an opportunity to enjoy the sunset as the breeze comes in from the northeast.
The neglected charms of Kastamonu
Why oh why don't more visitors make it to Kastamonu? Of course, I know the answer to that question really -- there's no sea, no sand and not much nightlife to speak of either.
Oil-rich Libya
TRIPOLI -- We take off from İstanbul. Our plane quickly climbs, and we reach 10,400 meters in the air. Once we depart Turkey’s airspace, we enter Greek airspace. Then we enter Italy and Malta’s airspace before entering that of Libya.
Handy hints for travelling in Turkey 1850s style
As a travel guidebook writer I have become well versed in advising on the pleasures and pitfalls of travelling around contemporary Turkey.
İnebolu the heroic -- a forgotten black sea town
When it comes to the western half of the Black Sea coast it's Sinop and Amasra that hold all the trump cards as regards the truly ancient.
