Five trips for Easter 2027: from the Baltic States to Cappadocia, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Our colleague Albert was convinced there was more to travelling in Turkey than Cappadocia, so he grabbed his backpack and went exploring. He returned fascinated by the Taurus Mountains and transformed our Turkey trip with a fantastic new route that includes a trekking in the Taurus mountains.
Some sayings and proverbs are wrong. Dust you are, and to dust you shall return. Wrong. We are water. Water is more abundant in our bodies than any other substance. And we need it. Water is life. Seas dominate the Earth’s surface, and life thrives along their shores. Then there are lakes and rivers, often the cradles of civilisations, or humanity’s first “highways”, connecting distant civilisations.
In your next holidays We suggest a series of trips in which water is both our means of travel and the star attraction. By canoe, by kayak or sailing. In the south, close to the North Pole, on rivers or out at sea…
The city of Istanbul, halfway between Asia and Europe, is full of surprising corners, alleyways, mosques, monuments, markets, squares and bridges. Its major attractions include Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmet or Blue Mosque, the Süleymaniye and Yeni mosques, Galata Tower, the Golden Horn at the entrance to the Bosphorus with its beautiful bridges, the Grand Bazaar and the Basilica Cistern. An eye used to looking through a camera lens finds thousands of evocative moments in the ancient city of Constantinople. Add its people to the scene, the busy citizens of Turkey’s former capital, and the photographic possibilities They seem to multiply endlessly, as quickly as the camera's memory cards fill up and its batteries run down.
