We've been here a week and we've covered a lot of ground. The most amazing place so far is Aspendos, a Roman theatre that is said to be the most well-preserved one. What a feeling walking into the theatre and imagining it filled with Romans. Amazing architecture. The underground city of Derinkuyu was fascinating as well. The week has gone by quickly but sometimes it feels like we have been here longer. So far we have travelled around 1600 km. That's lot of driving. But we are enjoying ourselves a lot. Turkey is a beautiful country with such a rich history. I highly recommend it as a travel destination.
Some observations:
- The food is fantastic! Haven't had a bad meal yet.
- Lots of cats walking around the places we've been to and they all look pretty healthy. Not scraggly.
- Central Anatolia region is definitely more conservative than the coastal towns. I hardly saw any women out and about in the central region. Just the men were out.
- Very hospitable everywhere we've been.
- The roads here are very well-maintained and are in excellent condition.
That's it for now. It's been a really great experience so far. Looking forward to the second half of our trip.
